There are two kinds of beauty.
One is by cultural standards, which contain things like being thin or being thick in ancient times.
On the other hand there are factors like facial symmetry and similar more general standards. Symmetry correlates to factors like intelligence or health.

It is also the other way around. How we relate to him, affects his appearance.
In general your self image is a lot more important than your physical body.
There was an experiment a while ago. Children act school who got good grades good either gratulated on being intelligent or on being hard-working.
Those who were gratulated on being hard-working improved their marks while those who were gratulated on being intelligent didn't.
Obviously both intelligence and being hard-working are things that contribute to good grades.
The diffierence between the two is that most kids have much more control on being hard-working than whether they have intelligence.
Let say you have to girls with have the same qualities except one is ugly one and the other one one gorgeous.
Both get a job at the same company.
The gorgeous one thinks that she got the job because of her looks.
The other thinks that she got the job because she is hard-working (obviously her looks weren't the reason she got the job).
Who do you think is more productive in her job?

That is an excuse. There are a million ways to develop self-confidence and much more effective ones than being beautiful.
Beating huge obstacles will give you much more confidence than people get by looking good.
