I was thinking about this earlier, but there are benefits to being ugly. You don't have anyone bother you in public, probably.
You don't have much hope to begin with, so you can acknowledge the desire for a partner is probably a lost cause, so you can gain acceptance and at least significantly reduce that desire: and thereby, pain.
People take your skills seriously, and may actually listen to what you're saying, rather than just looking at your face like it's a light and they're a bug being drawn into it.
You don't really have to put effort into your appearance, because hey, you're ugly, who cares.
You have to learn how to get really good with the opposite sex, because they're not sold by default--and prolly only 'cause they like they way you look without caring who you are.
All in all, it's all about perspective, no matter what it is.

@Tatsumi Women not men are selected for being good-looking. Men are selected for being physically intimidating and impressive due to being some combination of tall, strong, big, dextrous, etc.
