> It doesn't completely surprise me; it's always been my impression that the average female is more attractive to the average male than vice versa.

Average looking != average attractive. If asking a woman about how attractive a man is based only on a photo you will get results like that because you've withheld most of the information she'd use to judge his attractiveness in person.

Depends on the photo. If the photo shows him wearing his expensive watch and sitting in his expensive car, she has most of the information she needs.

My anecdotal evidence is that women go for alpha-ness, not wealth. There's a strong correlation between the two, but it's quite possible to have one without the other. A pick-up artist with no money will attract women, while a well-paid but socially inept geek won't.
