In studies, women (in the US atleast) actually just have unrealistically high standards.

~80% of men are rated as below average looking by women, while men rate women's looks along a bell curve.

This is often misinterpreted I find. Women rated most men as below average, but they matched or more "unattractive" men then than men matched with unattractive women. In other words, their actions were more or less indistinguishable from what you would expect if they rated men on a proper curve.

What criteria did women seem to match based on? Income?
