It's not hard to be attractive for cosplay. I'm a mid woman, but I can easily look nice through working out (if you are fat/chubby), and learning how to put on makeup. It is a lot of work to learn makeup but honestly if you put effort into your appearance you will be fine. That's why if you go outside 80% of the women you will see will just be so much more attractive than men on average, it's simply because women put more effort into their appearance. Taking care of their body, taking care of their hair, using makeup, knowing how to style clothes can easily raise someone's appearance.
