Man. I mean. It seems to me wrong on a fundamental level to talk about this trope, in all its variations and varieties, as "attractive person willingly pairs up with unattractive person." I don't think that would be the point of Reverse Beauty And The Beast, any more than it's the point of Beauty and the Beast, any more than it's the point of Pygmalion, any more than it's the point of loathly lady stories, any more than it's the point of She's All That or any other teen movie. The point of all those stories is the transformation from unattractive into object of desire. I just really don't think that mode of storytelling is doing the thing you want it to do. If you want stories about ugly people, tell stories about dang ugly people, not ugly people turning into swans. Dang it.
