Here are some guidelines:
~ Men are interested in things whilst women are interested in people
Chicks almost always dig true crime because they're interested in why criminals do what they do, not for the crimes themselves, which usually stick out more to men.
I can't stress enough how important it is to have a character they can empathize with. The more this character represents them; the better.
~ Women want to tame monstrous men. Make the men in your stories troubled dominant boys who secretly care for the girl.
~ Women are usually emotionally not ready for challenging media (upsetting scenes, different worldviews and whatnot)
~ Emotions are key. Where the best shonen stories are based on hard systems, logic and smarts, the best Shoujo stories are usually floaty and not inherently realistic. These stories usually contain messages like love is all that matters and that stuff
~ Girls are absolute fucking suckers for cute shit. Cute mascots, cute leads, cute couples, cute gestures etc
