No woman wants to be with a guy that gets more attention than them. Or have people whispering behind their backs why is HE with HER?
If you go with the rating system 1-10, most women would want a man that is rated lower than they are, so if a woman is a 7 she'd prefer to be with a man that is a 6, no woman that's a 7, wants to be with a guy that's a 8 or 9, because it would make her insecure.
I think men try to go for women that are higher on the scale than they are. If a guy is a 7, he'd be VERY happy to get with a woman that's an 8 or a 9.
That's what i've noticed at least. You don't often see women with a guy that's more attractive than they are, or higher on the scale. It's very common to see men with women that are more attractive though.

There may be some truth in this. Cant see women wanting to be with a man "prettier" than them. In Beatles heyday Linda McCartney got so much stick when she dated and subsequently married Sir Paul. She was deemed to "ugly" for him. When Michael INXS Hutchence hooked up with Paula Radcliffe people just thought "ewwww he can do way better".
When BB11 John James shunned Rachel W for Josie most people who liked him were shocked and a bit impressed. "If he likes Josie, then theres hope for me" they thought. Ahem. He was way out of her league loads of folk such me didnt believe he fancied an overweight plain Jane.
