You know, beauty is somethineg everyone can get to a degree. You may not have a great face but everyone can get a great body (at least all men can) which can go a long way. I'm pretty sure girls would prefer a guy with an uglier face that's fit and trim over a fat guy with a handsome face. Dress well and groom well too. These subtle things add tons to your perceived beauty more than what comes naturally.
The vast majority of men would stare at a super fashionable chick even if her face wasn't waay up there and would ignore a naturally pretty chick if she was wearing sweatpants first thing in the morning and looked like she hadn't even taken a shower.
Sure, it'll probably be hard to compete with the people who are naturally beautful and take care of themselves (like I mentioned) as well but those little things can go a long way.
That article is pretty interesting though...I could've sworn that beautiful women benefited more than handsome men..boy, am I shocked.
Parting words: Trying too hard to get accepted would only reduces your chances of acceptance.
Just my 2 cents.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
