For whatever reason.
Yeah, I can think of at least a handful of reasons why.
For one the guy might not be like minded in the sense of being what a 8,9, or 9.5 in guy looks is supposed to be in our society - if he doesn't fit the mold it means he'll have nothing but frustration and grief with women on that level of appearance.
Also, theres the fact that personality factors in a lot, ie. how much he and her see eye to eye. Guys may well mean more sexually driven and have a bit more push toward looks but I definitely have to agree that it doesn't erase the influence of all other factors, nor would looks and sex drive usually dominate a guy's choices.
