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.

Aha! Now I can say I've dressed in something sexy for my wife! I hadn't realized this before your post.
Some other examples: I often wear something she has recently bought me over and over - she finds this very cute. Whether it is a sweater, a shirt, or what have you, it works.
As you point out, however, I suspect there are men out there who consider basic personal hygene going out of their way for their lover. And, in some cases, it may be.
