“I heard from Rav Hershel Schachter that there is no mitzvah to marry an “ugly” girl just to say the passuk of Sheker Hachein Vhevel Hayofi with kavanah. The girl has to be pleasing in his eyes even if she may not be pleasing to others.”

But beauty is subjective and it does not go by what Hollywood says. I have heard that there are boys who think that being heavier is more attractive, but they are afraid to admit it. I believe it was a goyish source, but kal v’chomer for Yidden (the first part) since they should be less influenced by Hollywood.

It is not objectively more attractive to be a toothpick.
