I used to be a valid 8.5
Let me tell you, being alpha counts much more than looks and social status, I have never been one

Good education, being well off and looks are all superficial, animal magnetism and commanding presence are something you are born with or not.
I just don't have the balls to carry a dame who is ten, too much anxiety for me.
As Arnold said, some enjoy and thrive in competition (read true alpha) well I'm not, made peace with it long time ago.
Having looks but lacking balls sometimes make you question your essence
