I wouldn't mind a woman whom some might find "ugly." As long as she keeps herself clean.
Yeah, I didn't like where it was mentioned in the article that if you're ugly, you don't need to bother with things like brushing your teeth. It's true that I don't bother with makeup, would never even consider surgery that was purely cosmetic, and I'll probably never be pretty no matter what I do, but I do at least maintain basic hygiene. "Ugly" is subjective, but most people will be put off by poor hygiene no matter what you look like.
