CMV: Physical appearance is not the biggest barrier to finding a partner, who you are on the inside is

I have seen many posts on several subreddits where people (mostly men if I am honest) say their incapacity to find a partner is due to their height, weight, ethnicity or some other physical feature (I know that ethnicity is more than a physical feature, but the way they bring that up, is that looking to be part of a certain ethnicity hinders them to find a partner). 

I do think that, while possessing some physical characteristics which are more in accordance with the beauty standards of the place you live, allows you to have more potential suitors, a better chance of not being rejected, every single person can find at least another person who will be attracted to them physically, if the person is interesting in the other person eyes.

However, someone who is decent looking or even attractive looking can have the bad luck of being extremely boring, with no sense of humour, incapable of connecting with other people, or debilitating mental health issues and in some cases those characteristics cannot be changed. And while a person like this can, yes, end up having a few dates, especially if that person is attractive, finding a long term partner who wants to share a day to day life with them is almost impossible, as everyone wants to share their life with someone they will connect with, be able to share good moments, interesting conversations, banter and laughs.

Finding a partner is like landing a job. The most competent worker will have a hard time getting an interview if their resume is in an unappealing font or is poorly formatted. Everything the hiring manager sees in their initial assessment is going to be tainted and they'll latch onto justifications to reject the resume to confirm their bias. If they do give them an interview, the resume matters less and they can let their competence shine.

Like a resume, appearance controls how well you can get through the door. Once you're in, what's on the inside matters more, but what's on the inside doesn't really matter if you're getting screened on initial physical appearance.

Assuming appearance and personality are independent of each other, statistically, physical attractiveness can make a major impact on likeliness to find a long term partner.
