I have observed that this is true of most men really. They are not as ugly as they think they are, and even a title bit of a change, and some modest effort can do wonders for their looks. They don't even have to go all out. Change their color scheme, where nicer/neater shirts and pants, clean shoes, remove the backwards baseball cap. I know for a fact that even a slight change in how one dresses can affect self esteem and then you give out better vibes when you feel good about yourself.

Right now, there are men out there who make no effort at all to look or even smell nice (some of them think washing their behind is too gay!) calling someone like Margot Robbie "mid"! I just cannot with such men (and apparently other women cannot either.)

ETA: Apparently there's a thing going around where the suggestion is for white men to "glow -up" by marrying Black women (I'm not into the free labor thing either so take what you will from this). So this man posted photos of himself before and after he married his Black wife and Instagram was all agog. And other white men started posting their before and after marriage photos with Black women and calling it The Black Wife Effect.
