Good-looking girls are never truly single past the age of 16 or so they will constantly have either a boyfriend or keep orbiters who serve the role of a boyfriend. You shouldn't even think in those black-and-white terms because girls don't see it that way either. They're always available if your value is high enough.
She's often not committed to the orbiters though, so she's effectively single. I disagree that they're always available if your value is high enough. It depends a lot on the specific woman and the circumstances. Very good looking celebrities get shot down much more frequently than you would think because comfort is inherently low and the woman either doesn't want to risk being another pump and dumped groupie and/or she is happy with the ego boosting story of shooting down John Mayer.
One instance was a friend turned down a date with a good looking top ten men's tennis player because she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend isn't famous and makes less money but he's good looking and has a great career. I imagine the majority of smart women are well aware of the high risk associated with sacrificing a good thing to get burned by a celebrity who is going to be gone in a week. Women want to do well for themselves, but if the comfort and plausibility of a relationship are very low it's far from a foregone conclusion that a guy is going to be able to jack anyone from a healthy relationship just by being higher value.
