Okcupid had a graph showing how women rate the average man as very below average in looks, and the 80th percentile man as average, plus a graph showing men rating average women as average and so on.
Men in America are largely just like women when it comes to evaluating other men - they are scared to describe other men as above average, as good looking, as handsome, unless they are exceptionally so. They are insecure and feel that it somehow bolsters their own standing by denying that other men are good looking. It also stems from a culture of man hating where men are held to be ugly boors - for a man to be held out as handsome, he must be impossibly so, whereas a girl must slather on some makeup and not be morbidly obese. Foreign women, especially older ones, are a welcome exception in praising men for their looks I've noticed. I imagine more traditional, feminine women are similar.
Just like the women, men often describe average looking men as below average. Roosh is definitely solidly above average, and Roissy is pretty handsome. Men can also be bold or imposing in appearance, stately or grave, in a way that is attractive. If you think the 2/10 WNB crowd is bad, just wait til they turn their eye towards men.
