I suppose calling straight feminine men "queer" comes from the fact that most straight women don’t want to date feminine men and a lot of people suspect that those men are secretly gay anyway. But yes, feminine straight men exist. They’re called metrosexuals. It’s hard for a straight man to be feminine in the countryside.

Women absolutely want to date men with long hair and slender bodies, as well as softer personalities. Most straight women do not want to date "masculine" men in the traditional sense. There is just a discrepancy between what men consider feminine (over the top, bimbo-like) and what women consider feminine (more relatable to them, fashionble, vulnerable) hence why gay effeminate men don't appeal to women (and why troons struggle passing miserably even over text.) Most popular male characters in otome games are some degree of feminine, vast majority of them are more feminine than the average male. Sometimes you get the token muscular boyish boy character for those who love them, but the most popular male love interests in dating games remain more feminine than average. See: Shiraishi Kageyuki, Asahina Louis, Himuka/Tokisada from Olympia Soiree, Hugh from Ashen Hawk

The number one trait which will get men who have nothing going for them laid is being able to chat for hours. Women love that. Pretty much every ugly poor scumbag ego always has multiple women chasing them had that trait. They want a man who is like a girlfriend not a man, that's a common female problem. Other straight men don't like those guys because they know they are a danger to their relationships.
