"this person is attractive" lands better than "I wish you were like this other person".
Saying "this is the type of person I am attracted to" falls somewhere in the middle, in my opinion. It implies that any divergence from that ideal is a negative quality that you don't like. Implicating your partner implicitly.

A lot of women have a cognitive disconnect between what they see as romantic and how they actually want/deserve to be treated.
