10s went after 10s, 9s went after 9s, ... , 1s went after 1s. The issue is that the large majority of people aren't attracted to people at their own level of attractiveness.

Looks are subjective. Just because you think a person is a 1, doesn't mean they think they're a one. Even if you can't see how, some you deem ugly will think they're hot. Thus, they'll go after whomever they like. And what one man or woman sees as a 10 will be someone else's 5.

Look at people crushing on celebs. Many woman like Leonardo Decapprio. I think he's completely unattractive. I hear some guys talk about how hot Angelina Jolie is. Then I heard other guys says her lips are too big, and that she's got the body of a boy.

Compromising = Good!
Settling = Bad!

If one is desperate for love and a partner, but aren't getting anywhere, then yeah. it may be time to compromise some. Not settle. There's a difference.

Then there's other who are happy or content being single until they get what they want, and nothing less. It works out fine for them. They either get the SO they want, or they continue to be single. If neither option upsets them, great. Works fine.

Or rather, if people were only interested in the people who were mutually interested in them (and to the same degree).

Those people have issues that go deeper than dating. And what they could benefit from is professional help. Because people who get that upset about it, still won't be happy in a relationship, because they're going to demand more attention 100% of the time than most can give, and be clingy and unbearable after a while, causing any partner to get tired of them and leave.

I can understand being a bit lonely or bummed about it. But being suicidal, takes it to another, and rather unhealthy, level.

So those people need counselling, or life-coaching of some kind. A relationship works better for people who have their own lives and things to enjoy that don't require a SO. Even a married couple won't be together all the time.

As a 4 I think it would be so depressing to have a 10.
