If Reine D asked if I wanted to look 'hot' the answer would be no. Attractive is a more general term that has a use well beyond its literal one. Many women dress to look attractive rather than to attract men, and many women regard being pestered by men as a pain in the aspect ratio. Married women who have no interest in attracting other men, dress to look good. Looking good is an objective in itself, but it nice if those you encounter give you positive feedback on how good you look. The feedback can be from either gender, but in my case, almost all my encounters are with women.
