In a way i was always punching above my weight with my W. She is a 8.5 or a 9 on a good day. I'm 7-8. OM is maybe 5 with a paper bag over his head.

I've never heard this take, but it makes a lot of sense. The WAS wants to feel adored and if they reach way down into the dregs then it's an easy made-to-order admirer. It's never really made sense to me why the WAS always seems to "trade down" with the OP compared to the LBS, but you may be onto something here.
