Assuming that she is happy with her appearance and does not want to change (hey, one person's shit is another person's GQ), tell her to keep trying and re-evaluate her expectations. There are more "lonely" people out there who maintain that status only because, regardless of their own social status or physical appearance, they believe that they are entitled to the hottest guy/girl out there. This seems to apply to men because they are almost totally incapable of seeing their own flaws (like some balding fuck with a beer gut and hair on his ass should be commenting about the appearance of anyone) and women because at a young age they develop this vision of what "Prince Charming" should look like. I am not saying that she should seek relationships through the prison pen-pal system, but she should start looking behind the outward appearances and try to find a great loving guy who doesn't look like ___________ (insert cinema heartthrob here).
