Having lived in manhattan for 11 years, in greenwich village, west village, and having extensively gone out in SoHo and to numerous fashion week events, I can still say I have seen maybe ~10 9s in my entire life in front of my eyes. I have exchanged words with only one. I have gone out at: Avenue, PhD, Blond, 1Oak, Boom Boom Room, Catch, Rose bar etc. etc. I did see 3-4 in my week in Ibiza. Lo and behold each and every one was a professional model.
I actually agree with this.
Beautiful women are much rarer than men imply. And especially when recounting their own conquests. 
This is why ratings discussions are usually such a circle jerk.
I had this incident when I was a young boy and first became interested in girls. This girl that I had know for 5 years got a new haircut and I instantly found her to be gorgeous. The next day I came to school and for some reason she seemed plain again even with the new haircut. It got me thinking... what makes me attracted to one woman over another.
Over the years I collected photos of women I found attractive... mostly in yearbooks. Every once and a while I go back and look again to see if they still seem pretty, and most of the time I find the attraction has diminished significantly. I don't fully understand this, but at this point in my life, I believe that there is an emotional component to beauty and attraction... not just physical.
I owned a photography company for many years. I did a lot of work with models and fashion shows. Most of the men who choose the models are gay. Not a little gay, but like spontaneous combustion level gay. I have noticed this trend, that gay guys like to choose models with more masculine faces. Now, fashion models are women who are supposed to be very beautiful and I highly valued their looks at one point. However, this has changed and I mostly blame the Trans movement for forcing me to both pay attention and appreciate feminine face shapes.
Let me give some visuals to explain. Here is a computer composite of the same woman with different levels of estrodiol and the effect it should have. Which one do you find more attractive.
Now, take a look at a top tier model from the UK named Cara Delevingne.
Now, take a look at her with short hair. Keep in mind this is a TOP TIER MODEL.
If someone told me that this woman was born a man... I would not be shocked. Yet fashion people hold her up as what all of us straight males should find desirable.
Bottom line. If you follow the gay guys standard of feminine beauty and you like models, that are man tall, man levels of body fat, 8 year old boy hips, and a masculine face... OF COURSE NOT MANY WOMEN WILL FIT THAT MOLD.
For those of us who have moved away from mass media as a determining factor of what makes an 8 or 9... many more women fit those requirements.
