I am a straight man too and this is one of my favorite shows, for the following reasons:

I also have a tendency to be attracted to shows with a set of female protagonists (provided they're my kind of show, as Winx Club is) due to feeling bad about having misjudged such shows, like Sailor Moon, which I had previously seen when I was younger (and been a little weirded out by Neflite's gory death), until I had a dream that reminded me everything I loved about it, did some research and saw that that view was wrong. (yet a lot of people seemed to not learn from Sailor Moon OR MLP, and I bet if Glitter Force becomes known people will hate it for the same reason) Doesn't mean I don't like the shows with mostly male protagonists as well, or half and half like Inuyasha, I just don't judge based on the protagonists' gender
 * 1) I really like Bloom and Stella. They're really cool and I also find them really attractive (in a clean way of course)
 * 2) Favorite villains: Darkar, Duman, Gantlos, and Valtor
 * 3) On that note, this show isn't afraid to kill the main villains (aside from the Trix) like many shows today are
 * 4) The references to stuff like Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings

Note: When I say Winx Club is one of my favorite shows, I'm referring to the Cinelume dub. It does the voices right, and it has the only seasons I care for, 1-4. 4Kids doesn't have Season 4, and Nick ruins the voices, plus I've heard nothing but bad about Seasons 5 and 6 (which are Nick-exclusive), that they were childish and full of plot holes. ("Remember back in Season 1 when it actually had a story?" or "Compare this to Season 6!")

I wish it was more popular. People reject it for the stupidest of reasons
