How does an ugly girl survive in this shallow materialistic society?

ugly guys have it easier for some reason, people tend to look more down on ugly girls, how do they survive? it must be pretty brutal to be a not so nice looking girl, especially with the high standards for girls to look perfect by both genders or they will be considered an outcast/reject. lm a guy by the way and treat them nicely but l dont like the way my friends treat them sometimes, how do some of them make it living through rejection and people looking down on them all the time?
