Adorable v. Creepy

 From The Sound of Music when the Baroness tells Maria:

There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him.


Sounds Romantic and Adorable.

But invert sexes where one (laments?):

   

    There's nothing more irresistible to a woman than a man who's in love with her.

 

Starts to enter the Creepy Zone. 

 

OK ... Now:  does it matter the sex of the Opiner matter in cute / awkward distinction? in either case?

 

sub-post:  yes, auto-correct, "opiner" is a correctly spelt word.

sub-post:  yes, sex; not "gender." words have gender. people have biological sex.
