Do women play off/ignore good looking men in public because they assume they are cocky and uninterested?

I've read comments from women elsewhere where they say they ignore good looking guys they pass because they feel the guys know they look good and she doesn't want to inflate his ego (relative to his impression of her) anymore.- And if anything, maybe the good looking guy will see this girl ignoring him and be brought down a peg.

Now, is the basis of this feeling from women the idea that even average guys rarely show interest in public, so of course if a guy is good looking he's even more likely to be uninterested? Is women's behavior here really a defensive position reacting to men not approaching or showing interest in the past- so they assume that "if the last 100 ugly and average guys didn't show interest in me, then of course Brad Pitt over is probably not gonna even notice me at all. So why not play him off and act like I'm not interested first before he gets a chance to do it to me." ?
