Yes.
The point of the topic though, is that often times there is a wide variety of differences in male characters appearances, and a much-less-wide variety (or in some case none at all) in female characters.
What we tend to see as "conventionally attractive" in male characters is a much larger discrepancy. Male characters can be big, they can be small, they can be bald or have lots of hair everywhere, they can be muscled or lean, they can even be fat. They can be scarred to the void or sport a nose that looks like it was broken ten thousand times... all of those things are conventionally attractive.
But in female characters, what's considered "conventionally attractive" is nearly the absence of differences. They all have nice figures (usually with soft lines or lean builds), if they have any scars they're implemented in a way that enhance their beauty rather then detract from it. There is little to no hair outside of what's upon their heads, and in the vast majority of cases that hair is long and flowing (or has the capability to be). They're almost NEVER taller then males they're surrounded by. And if they are, there's always going to be one male who IS taller, even if just by inches. Their noses nearly never sport that "I like to get punched in the face" look.
That's WHY characters like Sigrun, Aveline, and Shale are so welcomed by female(and quite a few male) players -- they're outside the box of what the general populous believes is attractive. Sigrun is THE CUTEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE, but only becomes that once you've had 1/5th of a second to talk to her. She's cute because of who she is, not because she's female. Aveline isn't conventionally attractive, but WHO SHE IS makes her beautiful beyond the scope of what's "conventional".
As someone else pointed out, there are a LOT of male characters who work this angle too -- Alistair, Zevran, Anders, Fenris, and Cullen to name a few, who you go "Well aren't they pretty!" before they open their mouths..... but in that vein, there's also Oghren, Sten, Nathaniel, Loghain, Varric, Iron Bull, and Blackwall who are so far outside of that same box. Yet there are legions of players who find all of the second group attractive. Not because they are attractive conventionally, but because we've been given (or who can't wait to be given) that 1/5th of a second to know who they are.
and I've rambled a bit.
My point is no, you're not wrong. Everyone finds different things attractive. It's when we're given no option to find out if we like someone because female = pretty so pretty = you should like, that we get frustrated. 
We love that our males don't consistently fall into that trope, and we would really like our females to not consistently fall into it either.
edit for clarity 
Just wanted to thank you for allowing me to misread and turn that part into something I needed right now. 
Retour en haut
My love for DA elves is being rekindled!
