Yes. It makes sense if you assume a sexual reproduction system where one sex is the prime mover and the other applies filtering. Men need to be attracted at a distance in order to motivate them to approach strangers, hence they are more stimulated by appearance. Women need to be able to discriminate between the men who approach them, so a woman can take into account all of a man's qualities, since he's interacting with her. I think a lot of men make the mistake of assuming that they're either attractive to women or not, when in fact you can make yourself more attractive with some effort. "Be yourself" is not an excuse to do nothing---be your best self, you'll do all right.
