I think women like when a man they're interested in can sympathize and give attention when needed. However, if they aren't interested in you then no amount of anything you do is going to change how they feel towards you.
@Stereoguy Simp is an internet slang term describing someone who shows excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, typically someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, in pursuit of affection or a sexual relationship. Urban Dictionary defines a simp as "someone who does way too much for a person they like"
