The implication hiding behind the numbers is that you should overcome your fear of approaching women that you find genuinely attractive. Sure, once you get to know them, you may find you're incompatible for other reasons. But it's not fair on either of you to not even attempt a potentially great match just because she looks great!
If this idea ("go for what you really want") was expressed in any other personal development context, everyone would be nodding in agreement.
