For a zoomed out view of the game you are trying to play I recommend The Selfish Gene. The book is also the origin of the word meme. https://www.amazon.com/gp/

Personally I think evolutionary psychology is a bunch of BS in particular it falls down pretty hard in many areas of human sexuality such as ‘why do women have orgasms?’ That won’t stop it from being popular with so-called rationalists and blackpill incels. Taking the opposite perspective (fiction is a valid means of knowing) I would refer the OP to Robert Greene’s Art of Seduction which was a jumping off point for me studying the subject, the references in that book are really worth reading even if using it as a self-help book can be outright dangerous. Also there is Stendahl’s classic On Love which I find charming.
