Danger is part of it.
The other side of it is trust in a man's identity.
In a relationship, the man acts as an emtional anchor to the feminine. He is the stabalizing force which allows a woman to achieve her full emotional potential. One of the better metaphor's I've hear was one of the masculine being a shell (an empty space) into which the feminine (being a creature of energy) can enter and release. To open herself like this requires trust. If there are signs of weakness within a man then she won't feel comfortable with him.
Biologically, I think this is a congruety check of a man's personality. Our personalities are like a peacock's tail; they are essential to our reproduction. It's in a woman's best intrest to make sure that she is getting the real thing. If there are signs of weakness, deceit or uncertanty within a man's identity then a woman won't feel secure with him and the attraction will fizzle.
