Says Gottlieb: "Many women in their 20s or early 30s are either breaking up with really good guys, or refusing to even go on a first date with a really good guy, because there's not instant 'chemistry' or because the guy is kind (but not a mind-reader), successful (but not wealthy enough), cute (but balding), and funny (but not Jon Stewart), and they think there's someone better out there. So they pass up the 'eight' in order to hold out for the '10' - and then suddenly they're 38 or 40 and now they can only get a 'five'. The 'eight' would have been the catch. Most of us would be very happy married to the 'eight'. But we don't realise this at the time."
