differences in sex drive are about as large as gendered differences get, I think. i suspect that the difference in comfort is less that women have better social skills[1] than that they have the moral luck that the median man is happy to sleep with the median woman and that they are ~less physically threatening or something. (add ’on average” to all of the above)
i suspect differences in ~romantic attraction are much smaller, it’s just that secondary relationships … are romantic relationships? idk about all the stuff monogamous people do.
I totally agree with the gist of your comment t but as far as gendered differences go physical strength/size is almost certainly larger than differences in sex drive. That absolutely implies the probability a woman feels physically threatened by a man is much, much higher than the probability a man feels physically threatened by a woman.

I think the human social skill default is we assume other people are like ourselves

I had an implicit ‘psychological’ in my head when i said ‘sex differences’, thanks for pointing that out :)
