A - Sure, there's no totally objective truth. There's societies on the planet where being as heavy as possible is/was thought to be attractive, or being covered in facial tattoos, or whatever else.
However, the basics of what is physically attractive within the society you live are likely straightforward enough that if your likeness is posed to 100 others, you'd get a pretty closely clustered set of ratings.
If your interests trend towards a particular subgroup/subculture you may wish to further optimize for what's generally more attractive to that group.
B - That seems obviously wrong? Physique, grooming, clothing, etc - virtually no one is at the upper bounds of what they can do in these kinds of areas and they have a massive effect on how physically attractive someone is viewed to be.
Sure, that doesn't mean that everyone can become the most attractive person on the planet that way....but they absolutely have the agency to influence how attractive they are to others, significantly.
