Disgust as a Mate Choice Mechanism:

Reddit:

Why do women find it gross when an unattractive guy likes her?

"It's a pretty natural reaction. In a way, it's a way of communicating to the guy that he doesn't meet her standards.

She also may perceive his interest in her as an insult, because it implies that he believes she is in his league, and from her perspective that's a lower status than she sees for herself."

"They take offense because they feel like they are entitled to better. It's a defense mechanism.

Let me elaborate. There is a black mirror episode where people have ratings up to 5 stars. After each iteration with a person you can rate them out of 5. Most people become super shallow and refuse to even engage with anyone lower than a 3.5 because then they are viewed as also being of lower value.

Girls are similar when it comes to men. If people see her dating a "2 star" man, then they assume she must also be a "2 star". Therefore they only want attention and interactions with high value men (4 stars and up), so that they can be seen as high value by association."
