Nuclear blackpill showing that human attractiveness is objective and hard-wired in our brains since we are born. Also unattractiveness is not only a hindrance to dating/sex life, but to all aspects of life:

Summary of the experiment:
60 one-year-old infants were recruited from the infant subject pool mantained by the Children's Research Laboratory at the University of Texas. All of the infants were full term, healthy, and from middle-class families. In this study, the infants interact with a stranger in pressence of their mother. Attractiveness of the stranger was manipulated by having thin, lifelike, latex theater masks constructed by a professional mask maker to be either attractive or unattractive.
Because there might be behavorial difference between attractive and unattractive individuals asked to interact with infants, a single female stranger interacted with all of the infants, using a strict, rehearsed script to standarize her behavior. The attractiveness of the stranger was manipulated through the use of professional theater masks. Both attractive and unattractive versions of the masks were worn by the stranger to control for any effects of wearing a mask per se.
A professional mask maker created the masks using the stranger's face as a basic mold. The female stranger was an attractive woman, and a cast of her face served as the attractive mold. Alterationg to this basic mold to create the unattractive version of her face were based on previous research that identified measurements of facial features that predict ratings of attractiveness. The unattractive version of the mask was designed so that the feature sizes were well within the normal range of attractiveness: Our goal was to make the stranger appear unattractive, but not appear abnormal or deformed in any way. The masks were made of very thin latex so that the stranger's face appeared quite real and lifelike. Thus, she was able to talk and smile without appearing strange.
The stranger was blind at all times to which mask she was wearing, so that knowledge of the attractiveness condition of the session could not bias her behavior toward the infant. The stranger coult no differentiate between the masks when she was wearing them because only the external appearance of the mask changed. The stranger was never told which mask she was wearing, and all glass and other shiny surfaces in the building were occluded. To ensure that the stranger's behaviour was in fact equivalent across attractiveness conditions, a random sample of tapes was selected and the length of the stranger's conversation with the infant was timed. The only words that varied in the stranger's script were references to the specific toys with which each individual infants played.
The results showed that infants preference for attractiveness extend beyond visual preferences. The infants more frequently avoided the stranger when she was unattractive than we she was attractive and they showed more negative emotion and distress in the unattractive than in the attractive condition. Furthermore, boys approached the female stranger more ofthen in the attractive than in the unattractive condition.
