“Ugly” and “attractive” are subjective characteristics assigned by HUMANS. They have nothing whatsoever to do with physiology.

That is undoubtedly wrong. There are all manner of studies showing the correlation between mating success and "beauty marks" such as plumage or colors, across numerous species.

“Mating success” is different than “Ugly”.

As someone else noted, Mick Jagger is ugly but he is able to get around constraints imposed by nature through material means.

My wife must love me for my brains. I don't even have plumage.
