This was actually one of the arguments against pornography. Only the top 1% will become a successful porn actor; and even then, it's well known that by the time they hit 22-24, they're probably done - even if, objectively, they are still in the top 5% most attractive people on earth.
This warps men's perception of women in both selecting a wife; and in assessing the beauty of their wife in the long run especially after children. It warps women meanwhile in viewing themselves as less attractive, or viewing the 80th percentile of women as though it were the 40th percentile.
Comparison is the thief of joy; especially when human beings are involved.
