Well, they did specifically look for heterosexual non-homophobic men. Apparently, every one they got was honest about their sexuality, both to the researchers as to themselves.

it's also entirely possible to find people handsome and attractive, but not be attracted to them an iota.
i'm into femboys and stuff but masculinity has 0 appeal to me, but i still very much think guys like henry cavill (especially with a beard) are visually appealing.
