What would be appealing about the metaphors used in Song of Solomon?

For example:

- Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor
- thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
- Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
- Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; 
- thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: 
- thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
- Thine head upon thee is like Carmel
-  the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
- This thy stature is like to a palm tree
- thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
- the smell of thy nose like apples;
- And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak

How are any of these appealing or attractive to a woman?

Song of Solomon 7:2 - 9

ESV - ² Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies. ³ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
