A lot of the attractiveness that they focus on isn't necessarily unchangeable, though.

Many people can significantly improve the first impression they make by having a nice haircut that fits your head shape and clothes that fit your body shape well, match each other well, and aren't out of place for the current season.

So instead of "befriend her", you're suggesting "get new clothes and a nice haircut and then befriend her"? No thanks--I have enough friends.

I'm suggesting that people who feel like others unfairly judge them as creepy and don't like it use the modifiable aspects of their physical appearance to change how people see them.

Apparently you don't care if you are perceived as creepy, which is fine, but other people do care and would be interested in doing something about it.
