I tried ti get into this in that thread saying the gender flipped same idea but no one touched it.

Most men I know and also that post here have ludicrous standards of what constitutes attractive and don't even notice regular, perfectly smokingly sexy women.

Personally, I'm always the guy at work who identifies and pioneers the thought that this or that lady is in fact hot af. I've often had to just straight explain to male coworkers why I find someone attractive and by the end they agree, as if the ass mathematics weren't even visisble until I pointed them out.

Seems like men are more into performed femininity than hot female features like, skin and hair and smile and body. They seem to literally not notice women until their performance seeking demand is triggered.

Also a lot of dudes will at least say they'd get with passing transwomen.

Therefore I assume most men are pretend straight and truly they just fetishize cultural ideas of femininity. Actual biological triggers must first pass the performance test.
