Look, the reasons why anyone goes out with anyone else is the business of that person alone.
I agree with that to a fair extent, not entirely because someone who's attracted or unattracted to certain people for superficial reasons often not only end up making themselves less happier, but possibly those that they end up not associating with.

But there are good reasons to pair with attractive people.
Attractive people (in general, I know there are exceptions) typically feel good about themselves and aren't weighed down (figuratively, no puns intended) with a lot of excess baggage (still no pun intended). I want someone who is faithful and isn't a b!+ch, and women of certain body types generally don't act that way.
My experience is that less-than-physically-attractive women are more forgiving about certain things that more attractive women will complain about; they have lower expectations and are less inclined to passive-aggressively expect princess treatment. I'm not sure if I'd say that "unattractive" women have better personalities overall, but I've appreciated their friendliness more as I've aged.
That said, being overweight suggests lack of discipline, along with being less appealing to look at for most people, so it's something I think people should generally try not to be.
