So it's like the "Hall Pass" thing where he singles out a girl from her friends and shows her real attractiveness.

Interesting to take note of, but actually not terribly helpful in terms of worthy, actionable advice.

The reporting on the study they're citing is poor and leaves out a lot of details, such as how significant their findings truly were, in scientific terms. (Such information rarely makes it into "science" articles because it's not sexy enough.
Focusing on looks, in general, is a distraction from your attitude and mindset, which you actually have more control over and which have an impact that can override looks.
Going out of your way to surround yourself with "the right posse" is a waste of energy and gets one thinking in terms that aren't helpful because the idea that you're not good enough by yourself is destructive to confidence.
Overall, focusing on this is a needlessly self-limiting idea.
