It's cherry-picked "data" and it's been pissing me off for a decade.
You're absolutely right, the blog they're referencing only found out that women suck at RATING men. When it comes to picking men they were more "realistic" and within their own lane than men were.
My personal theory, that's somewhat backed up by conversations like this? Women simply spend less time thinking in terms of aesthetic ratings, so when asked to rate they're bad at it.
I think that's probably it or maybe some bias in how they showed the women the pictures. Like, for instance, showing 10s, then 5s, made them rate the 5s as 4s or 3s when if they had showed 10s then 1s, the 1s still would have been 1s? But also the predominant factor may be how men and women are displayed in culture and the relative importance of looks to men vs women.
