I like her alright. Actually. She's ok.

(And I have a tendency to like even those characters that most people condemn *coughturincough*)

He did say many times that they are graceful, beautiful, etc., - qualities that are more associated with femininity than masculinity. We know that at least some men had long hair (it is mentioned in The Sil that Fingon braided his). And he said that, with the exception of Cirdan, they do not grow beards.

But this is no indication that they are assexual or bisexual. They are like that because Elves were given the gift of beauty from Iluvatar.
