It's useful for the both sides when the females are honest with the males. The female will avoid troubles and discomfort if she earlier and straightly inform the male that she's not willing at all to be with him no matter if she has or hasn't a boyfriend and at the same time, if she points him what she thinks is wrong with him (or what she needs and he hasn't) then he may start to work harder on himself. For example, "You're overweight. I like lean men." may help someone to realize that he's really fat and to find ways to lose weight. Well, sometimes it's not that easy, if the case is, let's say, "You're poor, I like rich men." (Moneymaxx is theoretically possible but you know how hard it is for many people around the world.) or "You're short, I want a very tall man."
