This scene is merely meant to be comical.

While Slughorn is describing the potion, the girls are not more attracted to it, they desire it more than the boys because it is a common joke that teenage girls get crushes easily and want to snag the boy of their dreams.

They approach it because they want a vial to give to the guy they desire the most, in order to force this guy to love them.

It would be a bit creepy as well if the boys were trying really hard to get a potion to get girls! – PriestVallon Jan 18 at 13:56
