A lot of women pretend to not like really good looking men because they are insecure in themselves. I don't think it's because women arn't attracted to good looking men though, it's just because they are too insecure to go after really good looking men. They prefer to be with guys that are less attractive because it makes them feel more in control and that they have more power because they are the more attractive one in the relationship.

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.
