This makes sense in theory, but it presupposes that unattractive people don't have an equal opportunity to reproduce. In a very limited population that might be true, but I don't think it is today. Very few people are so goddawfully unattractive that no one would have them. It also raises the question of what constitutes attractiveness, which for many people is not limited to physical beauty.
