Borg Queen: No

The fact she just slides down into screen saying this while claiming it's because they haven't compromised security is hilarious. The Borg have NEVER hesitated to assimilated human ships by this point. Like "oh look humans let's assimilate" and here Voyager is - a ship that has repeatedly engaged them before - and the Queen is like "you know what, Id rather deal with Picard"

Also the Borg Queen: you will hell us assimilate humanity because Locutus failed me

So, as Picard realized in "First Contact" the role she wanted for him was essentially consort, king. And when he refuses to return as Locutus she turns to Data - something that does have Picard sacrificing himself so Data doesn't get assimilated not that that worked - which ... Also fails for her. Now, in "Dark Frontier" she is turning to Seven and we know due to PIC that she turns to Jack Crusher (Picard's child). All of them are meant to be her equal and her means to humanity. But each I think are a progression away from the role Locutus was meant to be. That equal//consort/King role.

I mean, Data she is assimilating not by essentially plugging him into the Borg - he is already technology based after all - but by gifting him with aspects of humanity. It's still got that sensual nature to it but she is working in reverse this time, and she went for someone that was a subordinate to Picard - someone close to him yes but still beneath in the structure of things. Thus likely establishing her start at lowering the whole equal level thing.

If we actually believe her plan was to let Seven be taken by Janeway and then take her back to the Borg ... This is doing much the same attempt she tried with Data. Only instead, she is sending one of her drones (individuals she looks over and often speaks as if they are her children/young). And one she essentially had since a child at that to be taken back and dis-assimilated. For humanity to assimilate the drone so that the drone may return and be the vessel by which she - the Queen - can better assimilate humanity. Janeway is an unknown at this point though, to take this plan is to assume much about humanity and risk a lot (which the Queen tends to do so it's not unreasonable for this to have actually been the plan all along)

Neither of these two plans work. We get the whole Jurati thing and that off set of Borg but that is a unique situation and vastly different from what these above things are. The next big humanity take over attempt. Plan the Queen actually goes for or speaks of similarly is the one with Jack Crusher. Where due to Picard's time as Locutus he - much like Seven and other xB - still has nanoprobes within him and manages to pass that on to his child. This time the attempt is basically a siren song across the universe to this growing child in order to lure them into being the beacon that draws humanity in. It's no more "be my equal" manipulations but just straight to "can't teach them when they are grown so gonna manipulate them from infancy"

They can be considered attractive in some way to you (but often not conventionally

They are someone/thing that you would not expect to be found attractive
