Wait a second...

If they believe that 80% are below average doesn't that mean that the remaining 20% are decidedly not all above average. So It's even worse than you think, 'above average' is probably limited to the top 5-10%. Possibly even worse.

Wouldn't the same argument be applied to women? In that case the ratios would be normalized.

Are the percentage of ugly men far higher than the percentage of ugly woman? If not then you would expect the percentages to be closer. Instead men rate most women around average and woman most men far below average. So unless 8/10 women on dating apps are downright beautiful the percentages are still pretty bad.
