> a full set of straight, white teeth;

Funny thing is in some Asian countries having a certain form of "crooked" teeth is often seen as more attractive (in woman).

Similarly having body volume (e.g. slightly overweight) is often seen as attractive (in man). (As it convoys wealth, only wealthy people can afford to eat that much.)

Honestly most, not the large majority of people is not ugly and can have reasonable good looks if they do carry them self properly and war clean clothes, hair, etc. Sure much more can be done using makeup or similar but that costs time and money every day and is normally not necessary.

Sure people which look rally good still do have some benefit. I just mean that for many people the problem is not inborn bad looks but how they carry them self IMHO. But then beauty is very subjective so I wouldn't be surprised if many people thing differently.
