Yeah, I'm a guy but it's pretty much the same way, just with the numbers flipped. I would have considered myself a 3 back in the 00s when feminine guys (emo/scene/etc) were all the rage, but now I'd probably be a 1 or 2 since they're much less common now.

I think instead of a single-axis scale it should have two axes, one for the range of masculinity/femininity you like in the same sex and one for the range you like in the opposite. You could then use those two ranges to draw a rectangle on a graph. Mine would be a short range on the feminine side for guys and a wide-ish range in the middle for women.
