I can think of one guy I went to high school with that I think would have fallen into the "hot" category (I don't really have a basis to judge, but he seemed like he should have been: face seemed ok, good hair, athletic body (good swimmer), smart, reasonably well off family, polite, funny but not too funny so as to be annoying). He had a girlfriend a little on the heavy side. Not really fat, but maybe a size 12-14, whose face wasn't all that either.
But that's the only one that leaps out at me, but is may be that I am insensitive enough to such things that only the really obvious disparities pop out at me (I'd guess he was at least a 9, she was a 4-5). So do people who pay more attention notice a bidirectionality?

Not usually. I think this is because what society tends to value in a woman is right out there for everyone to view (face, bod/weight, TITS) so men, even hurl-inducing men, try to get the most and best of these valued traits in their mates. The valued traits of men, on the other hand, tend to be hidden (money and a big dick) so physical attractiveness doesn't equate to value.
In the end, a "valued" woman can be with an otherwise not so handsome "valued" man and when people see it they assume he has a big wallet or a big cock so even if he doesn't the girl gets points. A guy dating a horse-face has his sanity questioned -- there are no society points for a woman's personality, wealth or ability to cook.
To demonstrate, when he married me my husband's dick became 12 inches long -- at least his friends figure it must be that big because they know he doesn't have any of his own money.
