I suppose people can look however they want to. But when it comes to attracting a straight mate, most dating coaches advise women to look more feminine and men to look more masculine.

I've had a number of girlfriends tell me they love the fact that I look more masculine than I am, for example. I'll get thrown out of this group if I post what physical traits of women I'm attracted to.
