I have had several guys profess to have worn something sexy for me. In one case it was a pair of jeans, which he judged to be sexier than his usual nasty cargos. They were, in fact, sexier, though the intent was not obvious to me without explanation. Another guy put on a real shirt instead of his usual T-shirt. Another dyed his hair Billy Idol blond (why he considered this sexy I haven't figured out yet, though it did sort of grow on me). I've noticed that the Mr. wears colors other than black, navy and brown when hoping to attract my attention, like a bird. When he pulls out the pink tie, I know I am getting some.
In other words, the difference may be that guys have a lower threshhold for what constitutes "wearing something sexy" for a romantic partner.
And FWIW, though I am deeply impressed with your analysis of this statistic, in my marriage I am the comparatiave right-winger. The Mr. routinely calls me a fascist, and I routinely call him a pinko. In other ways you are right, though - I generally dress better and make more money.
