Yes, many things play into who is desirable but essentially physical characteristics, skin color whatever else society influences upon you as being desirable. More fortunate women do obviously have problem with jerks and some of them may have a preference even but the difference is that they have options that the less fortunate ones don't or at least not to the same extent. The single black mother problem is illustrative of what I am trying to say here. (Not making any generalizations or making the case that they are unattractive but merely pointing out that number of complicated reasons including being perceived as less desirable contribute towards the overall problem.)
