The "plainest" girlfriend I had in high school has been hugely successful in her career, makes tons more money than I do, and has a happy marriage. She admired me in high school for my popularity and ability to date the "cutest" boys. I admire her today for her success...
Very smart. My mother told us something similar when we were kids. That the world will judge us by our personalities.

Now I'm 44 and look like I'm 34, and she's 43 and looks like a saggy leather handbag thanks to all her vain sunbathing.

Payback, b****.
If you have those feelings towards your own sister, I think the B word would be better applied to yourself.

For a loner like myself, being exceedingly ugly is a godsend.
People will snicker and point at you in public but they never approach you.
Children will say it to your face or comment on it loudly and sometimes salepeople or cashiers will act like they do not see you.
You have to do exceptionally well at work to get promoted but nobody ever bothers you with questions or to have to train anyone else.
Sometimes female coworkers cook or share their food because they know that it is impossible for you to have a girlfriend.
And quite a few women will go on a few pity dates with you to make you feel better.
And some will do it to make their boyfriends jealous because it will shock him to see her with a gremlin.
And when family asks why you have been single so long and have no plans to change that the easy answer is because of your hideous countenance.

So it really is not that bad looking like a mix between a goblin and a troll.

I think it's safe to assume that, whether you think these women are 10's or 2's, every human would pick the same one as the more beautiful of the two. All other things being equal, of course (hair, body, personality, intelligence), by faces alone I don't think anyone would honestly argue that number two is more beautiful than number one.
