Notes -
Honestly it's one of those things I read somewhere, but I don't have the source on me or the time to find it. I will note that it was for general quality on numerous metrics which extends beyond physical attraction.
As to your point, it would only be true in a case where:
Everyone must have a long-term partner
No two people can have the same partner.
Both of which are distinctly untrue. Just means more women will share the non-1s or end up alone. People, especially women, have standards, and won't just end up with trash because everyone else was taken. There's always the option of getting knocked up from a man a couple notches up and being a single mother.
A man who is actually a 1 in attractiveness is actually horrible, given that even a total uggo would still score above a 1 with nearly any redeemable qualities. Single motherhood is almost certainly preferable to even being in the same room as such a man, let alone interacting with him.
Can't really comment on the rest of your theory, but I don't think I've met even one person matching this description in my life, so it doesn't seem like a super-significant phenomenon. (I have met guys who one might think this would apply to, but they've always turned out to have some sort of girlfriend, sometimes multiples. Case in point)
