1- True, but if you are ugly and have little else to offer than you will settle for ugly.

But who wants to meet a future spouse on a dating site for ugly people? Rather, an ugly person would prefer a dating site for smart people or mac enthusiasts or music enthusiasts, etc.

Nobody intentionally goes out looking for ugly people to date.
