From an evolutionary perspective it makes literally no sense for people like us to exist. Just think about it. Many psychology studies have proven that it is an instinctual reaction humans possess to view beautiful faces as good, and ugly faces as evil; or at least something to be wary of. Human beings are social creatures who depend on gaining the trust and attraction of others to survive. So why then, does inherent and genetic ugliness exist? Shouldn't ugliness have been bred out of humanity a long time ago? Why aren't we a bunch of Chad's and Stacy's living an awesome life instead of genetic freaks who fail at everything?
An imperical example of this psychological instinct is our modern portrayals of "good and evil" in art, film, and literature. The heroes and good characters are always stunningly handsome men or beautiful women. While the villains and bad guys are always hideous and ugly characters.
