While impressing women with wealth certainly works, and there are some things you can straight-up buy[1] that will immediately boost your attractiveness, in general trying to win women over with favours (dinners, shows, shopping sprees) works against you. It signals that you're so desperate as to be willing to buy attention.

I'd say everything on that list except for coffee and maybe drinks is a sucker's bet.

Aww, that citation is for the much less striking part of your post. Do you have a citation for the 'works against you' effect being stronger than the 'works for you' effect? It doesn't sound like something you can conclude without actual study.
