Top 20% doesn't only mean looks. It's a success metric. Being attractive is by far the most important, but height, money, clothes (indicator for money), personality, the opinions of other women, etc. all factor into the weighting somewhat. And everybody settles eventually, changing that top 20 to 50 and up. Regarding your specific example I don't think we can compare random people walking down the street to women actively playing the dating game at a singles mixer. (especially upper-middle-class single Black women who hold notoriously high standards for men)
Clearly it is not! It's as if people assume that women are just like men. They really aren't.
And everybody settles eventually, changing that top 20 to 50 and up.
Then that 20% nonsense ends up meaning nothing at all. They try to get the best they can, when they invariably fail, they settle.

Those are people who, perhaps for a reason, have not found a guy.
