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.

Sorry to bring up such an old post (I swear, age is completely redefined on OF.
) but I saw a documentary on how humans attract mates.
Genetically healthy humans have a generally symmetrical faces, and studies show that symmetrical faces are considered more attractive to both males and females. This concludes that natural selection does still take place in the human race, with the neverending quest of successfully passing on our genes with the next generation.
