That's my observation too. I'm a middle aged man and I'm decent looking, but I'm not a guy most women would regard as hot. Many gorgeous women choose to go on dates with me and a few love to talk with me because I'm a good listener. What I hear, pretty consistently, are stories about their bad choices, broken hearts, and fear of aging.
Gorgeous women get dumped fairly often and they dump people fairly often, but they almost always find new men very quickly. If they're alone, they're alone by choice. They never go through sexual frustration unless they want to and they can get instant gratification in the form of requests for dates if they want it.

One was more beautiful than the other and we were all amazed given that while he is good looking he’s no Brad Pitt. When he got married 20 years ago he married a very pretty girl but not a gorgeous one and he told me that she was the one because she was very smart, a lot of fun, had goals and he could really see her being a great wife and mother. Twenty years later they are very happy.

Dowdy, overweight childhood with coke bottle glasses and then BAM! Smoking hot at 22.
Story of my wife.
It was like that at my first HS reunion. The mousy, bookish girls were all suddenly drop dead gorgeous and the popular girls were all on the way to pushing maximum density.
Last year I went to my 25th college reunion and the hot ones clearly peaked in college. I’m sure I have peaked but it was only recently. It’s funny how that works out.

Some women do both though and most of my friends are gorgeous AND make $250K—$500K a year. These women were 8-10/10 in their youth/up to age 40 but were also very substantive people.
I’ve been called gorgeous repeatedly throughout my life. Believe me it doesn’t help with men. It just means lots of jerks hit on me. Store clerks are nicer and strangers smile more. No one takes me seriously at work, except for other attractive women. The worst part is knowing how fleeting and superficial it is, but at the same time, I like being attractive. Weird, right?
