I think people who are realistic have happier dating lives. And people often end up with someone who is about the same level of attractive as themselves. I know people who think they are way better looking than they really are, and I know people who are very attractive and don't give themselves enough credit. Looks aren't everything, but you can't have a successful relationship with someone you find physically repulsive no matter how sparkling their personality is.
Are there really only two classes? Ridiculously attractive and ridiculously ugly?
My ugly is your hot and vice versa. At the end of the day, you never know who will find you attractive, so you might as well go for it!
I had a funny experience a few weeks ago. I was out at a bar with a friend (and her friend, let's call her Susan) I hadn't met before. Or well I had met briefly once. Anyway we were sitting down with drinks, and a familiar face walks in (a really good looking guy.) I had met him another time at the same place, so I waved, and he came over to chat with me. I did a round of intros. And Susan just could not hide her shock. She proceeded to try every possible c**k-blocking move known to man to distract him from talking to me. [Like interrogating him to find out how we met......the nature of our relationship.....] #fail
In case you are really surprised, I haven't become friends with her. [For the record, the running joke in my social circle is that I know everyone. No one is surprised if we go somewhere and a random person who knows me comes up to chat.]
I think ANYONE has the right to approach anyone of their choosing. If they are genuine, regardless of their looks, then there's a chance that the person they're approaching will like them back.
Let me elaborate. While at work I was thinking (instead of working). How many people believe that unattractive or ugly people have no right or are hypoctites for only wanting very attractive people? Is that a clear question? This is most noticeable when one unattractive person asks out another unattractive person just to get shot down for not being attractive. Or when an attractive person brings on the whole "back off, your out of your league". Do many people believe in "leagues"? Or do you believe in the whole Hitch movie theory. That anyone can sweep anyone off their feet if they have the right broom.
Everyone has a right to want what everyone is inclined to want...
...doesn't mean you will get it.
Now, in the event that we are talking about genetics, you can't change your genes, you can only make the most out of your genes.
In the case of someone who is a slob who does nothing with life expecting some top notch, in my mind that may be hypocritical. You want to receive the best? Be willing to give the best.

some people aren't even aware of how unattractive they are in the first place. I've seen people's pictures where they claimed to be 'average' to 'attractive' and they were well below both. I think most people overestimate their looks because it makes them feel better, instead of being realistic.

I am probably an over-estimator. . Irrational confidence is a family trait of mine.

I was going to say something exactly like this. At the end of the day it all comes down to what YOU prefer.
Someone who is not attractive to me can look like model material to someone else.
