I've heard this sentiment fairly frequently from young women.

A few things I want to address.

1- OLD: Online dating has skewed the perception of modern western women. They unironically believe they are on the same level as the men who pump & dump them. Men on here are going insane with these women who comically over-rate their SMV. Everyone knows of the forbidden OKC study that 80% of men are considered below-average looking by women.

2- Bisexuality: If women find women more attractive, including bisexual women, why do the vast vast majority of bi women end up in hetero relationships? Why do lesbian women tend to avoid bi women for this reason?

3- Masculinity: Men don't have things like make-up or bras to artificially & temporarily inflate their SMV. In fact, wearing make-up is seen as a hit to men's masculinity. Being insecure about your looks or feverishly perfecting them is unmanly. That being said, masculine men are attractive to women in a different way than women are attractive to men. To say women's attraction is better is just delusional.

4- Bodyfat: Women in the US are also a lot more likely to be in unnacceptable bodyfat ranges than men. I agree women take care of their skin better than men, but definitely not their bodies.
