This is a simple continuation of the obvious. Women want men that:
a) Are powerful, but controlled.
b) Dangerous, but only to his enemies
c) Make her the focus of his attention
The "damsel taming the monster" isn't a surprise, as the story asserts that the 'monster' is dangerous, but learns to control it as a way of protecting her. The inhumanness of the monster, is really just an aesthetic, the creature will still always be effective humanoid, because it is simply a stand-in for actual humans and human behavior.
Almost like they have programmed mating behavior which seeks specific advantageous traits. Just like men. Only difference is they are in complete denial. Though to play devil's advocate here, men that catch on to the realization there are women seeking control, that could repel some men.. so it makes sense they want to be subtle about it; while conversely, women will totally play into what what men want, because it's mutually beneficial.... As long as the man isn't an Andrew Taint.

Men have different delusions. Normally about their own attractiveness and capability.
