There are no cavemen any longer, and so the question, asked as it is, in the present tense, can have only one answer: Nothing, because they no longer exist, so they can do nothing in the present.

If, however, the asker means what did cave men to, in the past, to impress cave women...

...well, then, that's another thing, entirely.

The most impressive things that early man did to attract the females of their species were simply being good providers... good, brave and effective hunters. Survival was a challenge back then, and so many, many hours of the day were devoted to it. There wasn't really very much time for anything else in hunter-gatherer societies; and so whatever showing-off that men did to impress women was usually related to that simple task.

Of course, even back then, physical attraction, and what one person thinks is "pretty" or "handsome" about another, were factors, as well. And so if there were anything the man could do to make himself more attractive to women, then, of course, he would do it. But, in the end, it was the men who could best provide, and so would assure the women that they would always eat, that mattered most.

The second most important thing was probably the man's ability to protect the women... and any children they had together. Hunter-gatherer societies didn't have laws or even very many rules of conduct; and so it was not uncommon for men to try to kill other men for their living spaces, their female partners, their food, and any of a number of other things and reasons... many of them irrational.

There was also no shortage of animals which were a danger to -- or were even predators of -- early man. Men in hunter-gatherer society who were particularly effective warriors, and/or slayers of dangerous and/or predatory animals were always attractive to females.

For females in "caveman" days, it was nearly entirely about survival; and so that which any of them found most attractive and impressive tended to be that which best and most effectively served that end.
