You could also be determined to not be ordinary. It's amazing what you can do with hair, clothes, make-up. And on the non-physical level, if you actually have interests that you are passionate about in your life, and you're happy about that, and confident, that takes you a long, long way.

There were a few years in my teens where I really was an ugly duckling, awful hair, braces, clumsy long limbs...
But I grew out of it, developed my own style and as an adult I got to be with guys I *do* find hot, and would have considered "out of my league" back then.

Then again, alternatively looking at pretty manga boys and becoming a hermit is also an option....
