Treat me like you know I am precious to you and you will be greatly rewarded.

oh absolutely. As the friendship develops and we start to value each other, by being shown I am very valued in way important to that person - and in ways I can understand and recognise (I like to feel safe, above all things).
If we are talking about what impresses us in the way they go about showing us they are interested, rather than dating?

But I like my women with intelligence, a back bone, the ability to stand up to me, disagree with me, teach me new things about people, challenge my beliefs, stimulate me to grow... and of course adore me. I'm a complete sucker for being chased in a feisty, fun way. Not a wet whiney way. Don't keep showing up at my door with flowers with drippy eyeballs. Be a playful, pisstaking, persistant gentleman-woman. Maybe ask me to treat your back. Insist on carrying my things. Don't take no for an answer to take me to dinner, be able to playfully tell me to shut up. I like that. I'll tell you to shut up too, and you'd best find that type of banter fun.

Self depricating humour, crusty, gritty banter, give a good playful insult and able to take a good comeback.
I think because we are all so very different it's going to be hard to find any kind of one style fits. Respect is not a universal understanding. it's very relative.
It's interesting reading, that for sure.
