If anyone has ever taken psychedelics and looked into a mirror you might have noticed the effect of seeing yourself in a different frame of mind. When we look at ourselves we form an opinion on our own image that holds constant however when other see us they don't form the same image. When you look at yourself do you focus the attention at the good eye area first and ignore the mid face length
and jawline? How do you know the other person hasn't created the image of your face by the jawline and midface first only to notice the eye area last?
Here is an additional though experiment. If a you first see a new coworker at work and they are 25% body fat you would frame them in your mind as being chubby, if a few months go by and you see them at 12% you will perceived them as having lost weight and their attractiveness has increased. If you see the same coworker at 12% originally and they end up being 25% bodyfat they have gained weight and lost attraction. Another period of time has gone by and the coworker in both scenarios is at 15% bodyfat, your perception of the coworker will still be that chubby guy in the first scenario and that skinny guy in the 2nd.
My point being how you frame yourself directly impacts somebody's perspective of how attractive you come across. A lot of posts of why Ryan Gosling is attractive, if you were put in movies all the time a familiarity grows between the viewer and yourself, Jonah Hill would be a lot more offensive to the eye if you hadn't been familiarized with him.
TLDR
Perception of attraction consists of more than an autistic list of features. Being perceived as good looking or ugly consists of preconceived ideas, how the subject is framed and how familiar the subject comes across to the observer.
Also partly how body/height/hair halos work
