I don't take this too seriously either. Sure, a lot of guys will move on if they think they don't have a chance with someone because she's too beautiful, but there are always guys who think they're top notch stuff themselves and wouldn't hesitate to go after her if she's alone.

My guess, assuming there's any truth to this, is that she just has extremely high standards --- and at 40+ is finding that the men who meet them have mostly gotten snapped up by other women.

Right, she's trying to act like she's the girl next door.
In reality, she's just waiting for the next Real Estate mogul or International jet-setter to come along.
That said, I'd hit it.

Good point. My sister was/is really lovely. When she was younger nice guys would be afraid to approach her. The only guys who would ask her out would be arrogant jerks who thought they were God's gift. Even when she got the nerve to approach some nice guy, often the nice guys would flee in terror. I saw it a million times--men would have no trouble approaching me and I was nowhere near as pretty. (Also helped that I'm not pushing six feet tall.) She eventually ended up marrying one of the arrogant jerks out of desperation and you can imagine how that turned out.

Or if she just has ordinary standards and expects a man to be kind, faithful, and employed, she may find that most of them have gotten snapped up.
