Betty first thing - i have seen many of those fashion models in person and being photgenic (and more recently, photshopped) is very very different from how you look in 'real life' ever seen a photograph of someone you know and think 'that doesn't look like him'?
secondly, take a look at this :
Greg's Digital Archive
and you'll realize NO ONE looks like 'the girls in magazines'.
lastly, (and I am a healthy hetrosexual male - so this isn't oprah advice) how you carry yourself is a large part of how you look- i really mean it. I have seen 'pretty' girls who are completely unattractive, i have seen women without 'perfect features' that i can't take my eyes off of. It really is how you carry yourself - if women were to spend just a little time on grace , poise and confidence, rather than wearing what' trendy but looks silly on them and plastic surgery and worrying about this or that part of their body they'd do a lot better
