I think women like her are a large part of the explanation for the collapse of good looks. At one time a very attractive woman would be pursued by many men eager to plant their seed in her. She'd select a 'good provider' to marry (even if she had a good job herself) and, like other women, have 2 to 5 kids, but they'd be good-looking.
For the past 40 years at least, the same woman has seen fit to stay single and enjoy being pursued for many years longer, living better, etc. She doesn't want, by having kids, to 'ruin' the body that underwrites the good life of romance and a certain amount of luxury. If she finally does marry she'll have one or two kids.
Meanwhile, the meh or unattractive woman snags a husband a lot earlier while she still has a shot at one, and has multiple (not very attractive) kids, also earlier.
If she can't marry or doesn't want to, she may well turn to the government for money and have all kinds of kids. (The govt. pays them more the more they have.) The important thing is that she is likely to have more kids than the 1 to 1.5 that the really attractive woman does. Four to six in a lot of cases.
In this way the population becomes less attractive. And since good looks correlate with intelligence and wealth, the population becomes stupider and poorer at the same time.
Btw, hardly do I exclude men from this process of decline. Good-looking men likewise shun or postpone marriage and children for the most part more than the less-attractive ones, and for reasons similar to those of good-looking women.
Lastly let me add that these are of course generalities and of course exceptions abound. But I think it's safe to say that there's a bit of a Pareto distribution going on. E.g., the least attractive 60% of women are having 80% of the babies. Something like that.
