ISOLATED GUY: Try watching some old movies.
Clark Gable's ears were so big that he looked like a plane trying to take off. Charles Boyer was bald and paunchy. Humphrey Bogart was not exactly a pretty face. Gary Cooper was lumbering, inarticulate and awkward. Orson Welles was no catch. Marlon Brando began to bald and put on weight very soon. Rod Steiger was no pretty face, either.
It was their presence that defined them as stars, not their looks. The pretty boys come and go. They definitely go unless they work very hard to develop a presence of their own and superb acting skills.
If you're going about your business, building a good life for yourself, that confident goal-directedness will show. Nothing fails so fast as being desperate, having no direction in life, and looking for love as a security blanket. If you're drifting, it shows.
"Any wind is an ill wind for a ship without a rudder."
There's also something about the cut of a confident person's clothing and hair. They will suit his style. We all have a special style of our own. Find yours. Spend money if you must to discover that style. You're the star.
