I actually disagree. If you are only a moderately attractive girl, and want children especially in this economy, a handy guy is the only way that's going to happen regardless of his perceived handsomeness. As long as he's not a stereotypical Reddit neckbeard, he'll probably be fine.

> It is also not fun being with someone who is not into you physically.

I don't actually believe this. Our prime of physical attraction only lasts 20 years give or take; but is then followed by another ~40 years of very limited attraction no matter who you are. Even for the healthiest and most attractive, it is completely inevitable that there will be a time without physical attraction.

My sweet summer child, young women often have kids with guys who are handsome losers. I don't just mean accidents either. They do it on purpose because the guy looks good or they just really want a kid quick.
