tl:dr Women don't have unrealistic expectations, they're just saying that the average man is ugly. I disagree with their interpretation that the fact that women rate men as low attractiveness means they "have unrealistic standards for the 'average' member of the opposite sex." Remember, they didn't ask "do you think this guy is above or below the average attractiveness." They asked "is this guy attractive." There's an implicit assumption that "neither attractive or unattractive" is equivalent to "average attractiveness of men." That assumption is wrong. Men are ugly. So of course most men will be rated as more unattractive on average than women.
