Objectification is bad, but remember: physically attractive attention doesn't have to be shallow. Someone's physical shape reveals many things about how they carry themselves and what their lifestyle is. Some people like the physically fit shape simply because of how difficult it is to attain, even.

That said, the zeitgeist is awefully harsh to "ugly" people, though if you're not a shallow POS, an "ugly" skilled person can be pretty damn hot, if you get what I mean.

It definitely would be nice for the zeitgeist to understand the above and appreciate more than shallow appearance for sure.

We see this historically in the west. When the working class were mostly agricultural labourers, pale white skin was prized. Once a large part of the working class became industrial/factory labourers and could stay pale, having "a tan" became the new beauty standard.

Likewise, before adequate nutrition was available, being thicker was considered attractive because it signified wealth/prosperity/being able to bear children (in cis womens' case), then after industrialized food production made it quite cheap, it suddenly became about having the type of perfectly sculpted body only a personal trainer and/or cosmetic surgery could get you.
