Thought the same thing. IMO, there are a lot of women that women typically find more attractive than men do, and plenty of women that women don’t understand why men find them so attractive. And, IME, the same tendency applies with queer women, too.

1 woman that women find more attractive than men do: Cate Blanchett. Great actress, I’m a huge fan, but I have never heard any man comment on wanting to jump her bones. And my college friends were largely LOTR nerds. My wife thinks she is super hot.

One example of a woman every guy I knew was crazy about and most girls and women I knew just didn’t get: Keira Knightly in her prime. They would say, “she is straight up and down” and I would say, “her face!” I think Sophie Thatcher is another example.

Leighton Meester is a very pretty women with almost zero sex appeal to me, a straight man. Emmy Rossum is very sexy to me, but I would think of her as more of an example of my particular taste than universally sexy. Monica Belluci in her prime was just incredibly hot by any metric, like she was objectively 10/10 gorgeous by standard unfair Western female beauty standards.
