Yes. All women have difference in the people they are attracted to during different stage of their menstrual cycle varying degrees. It's a very well studied part of female sexuality.

Straight women also end up attracted to different types of men accordingly.

Do you have more info on this? I sounds like an interesting thing to read up on.

This should get you started, but just googling "differences in attraction during menstrual cycle" leads to a plethora of studies from peer-reviewed journals.

https://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/03/hormones.aspx

I can only think of a single study I've seen that included gay women in their sample (though that was a while ago; there are probably more now), and I'm pretty sure that's behind a paywall for lay people so... how you want to interpret that is up to you.

Ooh yes, I remember reading this. But I think the research was quite a while ago?

The study methods are hilarious. They get women to sniff little bottles of men's sweat and rate how horny it gets them.

That particular study has also been reproduced with underwear, t-shirts that men worked out in... a few other things.

Actually that link references a lot of studies that have been done on the subject, but yes, sometimes psychological research gets a little silly.
