I'm a man, so take this with a grain of salt...
I believe strongly in "like" levels of physical attractiveness. If one partner is considerably hotter than the other, either they'll know it and feel like they can do better, or you'll THINK they do, and poison the relationship with jealousy and ridiculous ego-tripping.
If you're about a "5" - either improve yourself to "7" or start dating people in the "4-6" range. Don't go for "10" unless you're planning on making a bunch of cash and finding a girl who doesn't care about anything BUT cash.
Simply put, if some hottie really does love you, you won't give them a fair shake when they have to go to work with "Ted from Accounting" or play raquetball with "Steve the American Gladiator". Your best bet is to hit the gym till you feel comfortable with yourself, or aim lower. It may sound cynical, but relationships are tough. No reason to make 'em tougher.
