They are critical, but not unrealistic. From that blog:

"As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh. On the other hand, when it comes to actual messaging, women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead of the curve, which is a healthier pattern than guys’ pursuing the all-but-unattainable."

You can also interpret that as "women would rather date guys they think are ugly than be alone" (as the author does in the following sentences).

Isn't that being realistic though?

Only if you assume the default position is needing to constantly have a partner
