As my father always said. "Son, if you can't be handsome, be handy." Handy doesn't come across in dating apps, so you need to get out there and show your strengths.

That's likely quoted from Red Green, a 90s TV show where the titular character always says that phrase while making absurd contraptions out of duct tape. (For example, converting a car to use gull wing doors, using only duct tape.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvgS2numBo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvgS2numBo0

Although I like the quote I do not think it is good advice for the younger generations. No early 20s to early 30s girl is going to settle for a guy just because he is "handy". It takes much more than that. It is also not fun being with someone who is not into you physically.

  I actually disagree. If you are only a moderately attractive girl, and want children especially in this economy, a handy guy is the only way that's going to happen regardless of his perceived handsomeness. As long as he's not a stereotypical Reddit neckbeard, he'll probably be fine. > It is also not fun being with someone who is not into you physically. I don't actually believe this. Our prime of physical attraction only lasts 20 years give or take; but is then followed by another ~40 years of very limited attraction no matter who you are. Even for the healthiest and most attractive, it is completely inevitable that there will be a time without physical attraction.

My sweet summer child, young women often have kids with guys who are handsome losers. I don't just mean accidents either. They do it on purpose because the guy looks good or they just really want a kid quick.

  No matter who you are, you need to have self-acceptance and emotional maturity. Very attractive features

Bingo. Dating apps were my biggest nightmare. I don't think I've ever landed a good date out of them over the years. Meeting someone at a friend's BBQ? Easy as. I still get PTSD seeing my friends swipe Tinder. So cruel.
