Well, I disagree. I have several friends and acquaintances I consider physically ugly.

But you also seem to be assuming the worst and equating any instance of "unattractive" as code for "vomit inducingly ugly."

How a person looks has absolutely nothing to do with whether I want to be their friend. And whether someone is my friend has little to do with whether I find them attractive.

Now, hopefully whether I find someone physically attractive has little to do with how I treat them as a person (unless trying to bed them is how I'm currently treating them). I agree with you on that point. But I disagree with you in that I don't see any disconnect between being friends with someone and finding them unattractive or even ugly (physically).

I had a friend in high school who had been in a fire as an infant. He was scarred and malformed over most of his body. There is no denying that he was physically ugly. But he was also a great person and a great friend. I use this as an extreme example not to equate fatness with full body burn scars.
