It's when an oblivious 10 sees herself as like a 5, (e.g. the girl-next-door type) rates a hot guy a 10, and thinks he'll only date 10s, and never give her the time of day...so she doesn't give him the time of day.
Jade: Yeah well, there's more nerd in your 'hot nerd' than there is hot. Just ask her out.

Tom: She wouldn't even give me a chance to show her I'm a super nerd. She doesn't even talk to me. She put me in the ten-zone because I'm too cute. It's so unfair, why am I so unlucky?! I just wanna play Dungeons & Dragons with her.

Damn these symmetrical features and strong jawline.
