My take is that, biologically, creating an attractive female is easier than creating an attractive male, specifically regarding facial attractiveness. A symmetrical female child is almost guaranteed to grow up to be attractive, whereas the same isn't true for a boy. The "right" hormonal profile needed to develop attractive male features is rarer than what women require. A symmetrical girl who doesn't develop pronounced secondary sexual traits (such as full lips or prominent cheeks) is still generally considered attractive to both men and women. In contrast, masculine faces that lack strong jawlines or brow width usually aren't. Additionally, high testosterone can backfire in men, leading to overdeveloped brows or nose bridges, which may reduce attractiveness.
