it looks like female => attractive

This was the first thing that stood out to me too.

I sampled quite some dark red markers, representing "attractive", and on the balance they're almost always overwhelmingly reviewed by females.

There were some exceptions though. Especially in the south west for Chinese cuisine.

Your data is incorrect. That ranking is for male vs female (higher number = female).

The hot vs not score is a separate score. (e.g you have Big Arc chicken as a 2.5. That means mostly male. It's hotness score is 5.5)

It's probably more like "interested in social media" -> more likely to have a very good shot of you as your profile pic -> more likely to be considered attractive.

So perhaps this is really just searching for restaurants that people into social media review.
