Every single society has erotic depictions of women in media, art, entertainment etc. Whether it be a Victoria's Secret model, or even a simple fast food advertisement that depicts women in an erotic manner. Men are never depicted like this, why?
Well, because it's assumed that nobody wants to see a partially clothed man showing erotic mannerisms. It's been stated by many women that men don't look as good as women do, especially naked. I can't think of one instance when a man is depicted in such a way.

We straight men get extremely nervous around random beautiful women because we find women physically attractive even if we don't know them. Women don't feel nervous around men because according to various people and so-called experts, women don't find random men visually attractive. So why would they be nervous around men? Even if it's a handsome man, she still won't find him attractive. She needs that infamous emotional connection.
When women call men "sexy", unfortunately it's not based on his looks. They only find his personality, mannerisms and scent attractive. I hate that so much because it's deceiving. The farthest they seem to go with visuals is to find his smile and jawline attractive, nothing else. They don't seem to find the rest of a man's face or body attractive because according to various "experts", men have no beauty.
Even straight women find women better looking than men. To them, even the most unattractive woman is still more attractive (physically/visually) than the most handsome man in the world. When's the last time you noticed a woman ogling or checking out a random man on a street? Oh that's right, it probably never happens. People say; "they are more subtle about it" or "women have better peripheral vision than men" and while it's true that women have better peripheral vision, I'm not sure if they use it to check men out.
We straight men get so happy when a random woman flirts with us; women on the other hand, will feel offended or creeped-out. They will say, "ugh get away pervert" or "stop looking at me". It doesn't really matter if he is considered handsome by other guys. This is why I wait for women to make the first move.
Something else I just loathe is how a woman needs to know a man to be sexually aroused by him. Women don't get turned on by looking at a random man in swimming trunks. Even the media goes along with this; commercials and movies show men checking out women in two piece swimsuits while the women don't even care if a guy is shirtless, just like in real life. Here is a picture of what I think of this infamous emotional connection.
While I'm not sure if one gender has better-looking bodies and faces, people sure like to think that women are more aesthetically appealing than men. Don't forget a lot of women use beauty products like makeup to make themselves more pleasing to the eye. I'm a straight man so I wonder if that's why I don't think men are pleasing to the eye.
While I can still appreciate both genders as a piece of art, I still think women are more beautiful. It just seems that women only care about what men can do with their bodies more than how men look. I don't want to date a woman that only likes me for my personality or what I can do for her. I want her to like me for how I look as well. I'm still skeptical that women even find men attractive (physical/visual).
