You don't.
All jokes aside, there are three things that you have to remember with women:
Rule 1 - Involvement with women will usually be a net negative for the man.
Women will generally not involve themselves with men who they cannot derive some form of benefit from. They have too many options available and their strategy relies on picking and keeping the best man that they can.
What that means for you is that you will have to lose something in exchange for her association. The thing you want to do is minimize your loss and maximize your return. The ultimate loss is, ironically, marriage (which is why women push for it when they find a man that they deem suitable.) The ultimate gain is having to give as little as possible for continued sole access to her body. Most relationships are somewhere in the middle.
Only you can determine what level of ROI is acceptable for you.
Rule 2 - Briffault's Law
Women will not honor any agreement where they get the benefit up front with a promise of reciprocity at a future time. Should you attempt to force them to honor it, they will either hold the reward hostage for more benefit (as seen in a lot of sexless marriages) or they will end the association now that the value has been extracted.
If you enter into an agreement with a woman, make it overt and demand her end up front. Do not rely on a woman's integrity or sense of obligation to fulfill an agreement unless she has demonstrated those qualities in the past. Moreover, never let her have the impression that she has gotten all the value from you that she can get.
Rule 3: Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they do.
Women lie. They are experts at lying to others and even to themselves. They will lie about their motives, their desires, and their expectations. They are experts at manipulation and ply their trade as easily as breathing. Moreover, as men, we are easy to deceive because of our attraction to them.
Watching what they do is the best way to discern their motives. Most people, but especially women, are not self-aware enough to mask their actions when an opportunity to move towards their goals is presented. That is why a woman will lie about the kind of men she is attracted to, but then put herself in positions to meet and consort with those very same men.
Watching what women do can tell you how she feels about you. She says she misses you, yet she never returns your messages promptly? She says she is "working on herself" yet she's still following the same patterns and associating with the same people? She complains to you that she's "always broke" yet finds money for alcohol and cigarettes? Her actions are her intentions, and her words a ploy used to lay a false trail for fools to follow.

Be interesting.
You can win the biggest detractors at times over, by being curious, interesting, thoughtful, mysterious even.
Don't overly talk. Or if you do talk a lot - make sure the story is interesting, funny and engaging people. Pause between answering.
The fine line though of stoic and fun. Don't be a dancing monkey but too stoic can bore people. Unless you are really attractivce, even then it'll be too much for some.

These are true and all. But as for Rule 1, it's worth keeping the following in mind:
The things women subconsciously (see rule 3) need from you in order to remain sexually attracted to you, are generally things that are good for you, and which you should want for yourself anyways. Things like: be fit, be an autonomous creature, have a life, have a social circle, have fun, be happy.
In other words, if the relationship is built upon genuine desire, there is a lot of common ground between what she needs from you to keep the desire going, and what you need from yourself to live a good life.

This is so true.
Also completely true. Someone recently told me how he agreed to amicably break up and split the sail of the house. I said how amazing it was and how great that they could be so mature about a breakup. He concluded with "haha yeah... she hasn't paid me back though".
This is one of those "99% true" things, so it makes sense to assume it's 100% true. Occasionally.... very ocacsionally.... a woman will surprise you by being fair and honourable. But this is one of those exceptions that I would never bet on or count on. Simply avoid being exposed to the risk, given that it's a near certainty.
Always assume things could end tomorrow and she'll take everything she can: and only proceed if you're happy with that.
We are also easy to deceive because we ourselves are pretty honest.
Her words are Public Relations for her actions.

That's just rephrasing the 48 laws of power:
LAW 3: MASK YOUR INTENTIONS.
Law 8: Make people come to you, so you hold all the cards.
Law 11: Make yourself indispensable, so it’s harder to cut you off.
Law 14: Be a spy. Gather intelligence to know your opponents.
Law 29: Plan till the end, so you won’t be caught by surprise.
Law 40: Beware the free lunch. There’re always strings attached.
