What do you mean exactly? If you think some people are just innately attractive and that's immutable and unattainable, that's nonsense.
Easily changed stuff like a better haircut, better fitting clothes, a better photo, all go a long way.
I'm a very average guy with a wardrobe of thrift store finds and band tshirts. I'm not even 6' tall. But I did try to whole-ass engage with every potential match instead of doing bullshit like chatgpt or copy-pasted ice breakers.
Also a real fast way to be unattractive is having an ugly worldview. Most people aren't going to like someone who treats them like shit. Someone who has a genuine conversation and shares interests will go farther.
