I lived in San Francisco a couple years ago. When I first moved there, I couldn't believe how many attractive women there were out there. Then I realized that it's because the obesity rate there is almost half of what it is in my home state. Being overweight is literally the number one most physically unattractive thing.

Indeed. The vast majority of people are pretty good looking as long as they're reasonably fit/thin. Yes there are really, really unfortunate genetics, yes there are burn victims or people who contracted some terrible deformation due to disease or injury. But on the whole, most people are fairly attractive. It's the fat that kills it all.

Which is what you'd expect from billions of years of evolution and both natural and artificial selection.
