I realize this more and more....I consider myself attractive, but not strikingly handsome. I am above average in height (6'0"), fit (but not jacked) and have a full head of hair. However, my facial aesthetics lean more towards the average. I give myself a 7 to 7.5.
I noticed most of the women I seem to develop crushes on are in the same boat looks wise. Attractive, but not gorgeous women.
Sure, an 8+ is nice to look at, but subconsciously you won't feel comfortable going out with her because of the looks imbalance.
Conversely, if you are dating a woman a notch or two below your own looks, you won't be happy either since you know you can do better.
