Have you ever heard of r/femaledatingstrategy?

Depending on what you're looking for "girly" could fit.

Ex. If a macho man is a "manly man" (which I don't think is entirely accurate because I think the concept of machismo is much more complex than that), then a "girly girl" would kind of be the equivalent?

Alternately, "femme" can be used to mean kind of the same thing but more respectfully since "girly" has a rather childish connotation. "Ultra femme" or "High femme" can be used to describe someone that strives for or is the peak of feminity but then... defining what that means is a whole other thing that's probably just as complex as defining Macho/ Machismo.

Not sure if this helps but I wish you luck in your search for the word.

Pick me

Assuming that the common thread is accentuating gender characteristics to an absurd extent for attention

With the same sort of negative connatations? No.

indeed there is not a word to describe the nuances of a woman who is macho in a women way

thank you for your truthful take
