But what do you do if you’re not attractive enough to be noticed by the good guys just by doing your own thing? I find I have to make the first move to show I’m interested and then work hard to keep their interest and show my value.
Just sitting around waiting to be picked doesn’t work if you aren’t attractive and chased by lots of eligible men!

This is OP. I actually already eat incredibly healthfully and while not athletic, I regularly workout by going to barre and pilates and walking plenty.I am slender although a size 4 and 6.
My problem is I have an ugly face. I have an odd and asymmetrical face shape along with a large asymmetrical nose.Even expensive makeup doesn't help!
Men are visual creatures, as PP noted. If you don't pass their immediate review, you won't get a second chance.
If you want a high value man, then you need to invest in rhinoplasty. Get three consults with reputable plastic surgeons (see the Beauty forum) and get the surgery done this summer. The consults may result in other recommendations that you aren't considering. Don't put it off. Change your look and improve your chances in the dating world.

We get it, you’re trendy. But could you take the extra 3 seconds & write out your f’ing words?
What is JBF and JDBF?
Is BF butterface?

That should help.
If you are not attractive, not rich and not well educated, it may be much more difficult to find a high value man.
If you are looking for high quality men vs high value men, your parameters may be different.

Ugh, all of this advice to attract people who place value on looks when you are in fact slender and healthy is nauseating. If you are worried that your facial features won't attract people, I would stay away from the vapid hell hole that is the online dating world. Perhaps join meetup groups or other in-person activities that match your interests and find connections from there.
In the meantime, find joys in connections with friends, family, pets, hobbies, nature, volunteering, work, and other known facets of your life that make you smile and carry you through your days.
I wish you well!
Agree. Also, look for men in your league, so to speak, and try to find someone that matches your energy. If you are bubbly, you want someone who is similar, etc. Some women think they are prettier than they actually are, because their face is symmetrical. Of course, they wonder why they keep attracting vapid, even though they are also vapid. Symmetry is not everything. You want to be with a good, nice person that likes you for you, not because your nose looks a certain way (or doesn't).
Almost every couple we know has different personalities. I don’t necessarily think a bubbly girl should be with a bubbly guy. If OP has a good personality and nice figure, I’m sure she can get someone. He may not be physically attractive or a high earner but she can find someone kind who is less superficial. Nice shiny hair and flattering clothing should help.
