I think this is just another way of saying "I'm pro- good advice about dating and anti- bad advice about dating." I would consider the research you're discussing a form of PUA/dating advice.
Are newtons laws billiard ball prediction advice?
In other words, there are other uses than trying to pick up girls for knowing what, on average, women like in a man. These include, but are not limited to,
If you're an altruist (on the 'idealist' side of WrongBot's distinction), you'd probably consider making women you know happier to be the biggest advantage.
Most of the women I'm friends with are in relationships with men that aren't me :) So me being maximally attractive to them may not make them happier. I would need more research on how to have the correct amount of attractiveness in platonic relationships.
Sure women like the attention of a very attractive man, but it could lead to jealousy (why is attractive man speaking to X and not me), unrequited lust and .strife in their existing relationships.
Perhaps a research on what women find creepy, and not doing that, would be more useful for making women happier in general.
Edit: There is also the problem that if you become more attractive you might make your male friends less happy as they get less attention. Raising the general attractiveness of your male social group is another possibility, but one that would require quite an oddly rational group.
