honest answer.....
If only the very attractive people had a chance at dating, human species would cease to exist.
Sure there are exceptions but the general trend, over the past 5 decades is that good looking people are getting married at far higher rates than even the average ones. They are also more successful in their careers since our economy has shifted from manufacturing and assembly to sales and services and jobs in these latter areas disproportionately reward looks. This success then helps them afford a family and they therefore have, on average more children, per couple as well.
If you don't believe me, check out a school with class pictures going back many decades. What was exceptionally good looking in 1960 is rather ho hum today. It would be an interesting exercise to follow up a sample of the plain and ugly kids. I'll bet their rate of marriage and their number of children is a fraction of the better looking ones.
Part of the problem many young people have today is that they are the product of this unplanned social engineering. All their lives, they have been told that because of their looks, the world is their oyster. This is coming from those who recall how their looks would have helped them a lot, decades ago. Today they are not as exceptional and will find it difficult to adjust to reduce their expectations.
I think it's a mix of personality and luck (in finding someone who's willing to overlook your looks). I've met a lot of guys who range from not good looking to incredibly average who are dating smoking hot women.
I think the luck side of the equation is much bigger.
While looks are important when someone meets a person for the first time, there are also other factors that might influence someone to have a relationship with an unattractive person: the personality part plays a huge roll (Someone genuine, nice, a good listener, a smart person)
While I make this statement, I will try not to generalize, but someone with extremely good looks might posses an unattainable pose or attitude. Someone unattractive who is down to earth might be luckier in the dating department than someone who is arrogant but possesses good looks. Also, we have to remember that people is so very different and complex when it comes to attraction; while you might consider someone is extremely unattractive, somebody else might actually find them appealing and good looking.

You're right of course but the "Anti-PC" police will be coming around to shoot your comment down any moment now.
Go to Walmart. All kinds of married ugly people. Many people learn that looks are temperary. What really matters is the person inside. EG. One time I dated a woman who had been runner up in the Miss Milwaukee contest. Most boring date I'd ever been on. I'd much prefer a average or even homely girl that is fun to be with.
