so much of what we hold dear is looks. it's tough to not like someone because they're attractive. but i've found the beauty beyond looks, and it is much more, much, much more amazing then any body-shape, size, or whatever. it is everything. you can have so much more with belief in yourself that life doesn't come in just degrees of beauty, it comes in deeper more complex ways. and all the reward is found beyond looks. in the way you treat others, and how they treat you, and what you can build with others. i'd take a friendship with someone who isn't the best looking person over a person who is attractive and lacks the sincerity, depth, and quality... on everyday of any week of any year.
