This is based on the matching hypothesis, which suggests that people tend to pair up with partners who have similar levels of attractiveness. As Joe is moderately attractive, he is most likely to end up with Susanna, who is also moderately attractive. It is not necessarily true that attractive women end up with less attractive men or that men of moderate attractiveness end up with less attractive partners, as there are many other factors that can influence partner selection.
