I really think the importance of attractiveness is overrated. Being pretty is nice sure. However most people are in the middle and perfectly happy to date other people in the middle. Getting a nice outfit and being well groomed will generally push anyone just over the line into attractive enough. So it really isn't a factor for most people I think

I agree with you, but ‘most People’ aren’t who OP was asking about. They’re asking about people who cannot get a date for the life of them, which is a small percentage of people. Of those people who really can’t get a date, a lot of them are not going to be “somewhere in the middle,” they’re going to be well on the uglier side. It’s cruel and unfair but it’s true.
