The answer is to ignore popular culture.

Eh. Not likely.
OP - I'm a little confused by your post. Are you saying that because pop culture shapes female expectations, guys, to get chicks, should conform to pop culture stereotypes of men? And that this is confusing, because there are 2 very extremely different stereotypes that exist? (Meaning, what to choose?)
1) I think most women prefer a gentleman, which, it seems, would fall in-between these 2 stereotypes.
2) I think most women, if you are going to err on one side of the stereotype, prefer manlier men to pussies.
3) What women want are not only informed by pop culture, but hard-wired in their biology - women want to be taken care of (i.e. be manly).
4) I think you greatly exaggerate the persistence of the "pussy" male stereotype. Who likes a wuss? No one respects that.
