I'm not going to hold it against the OP to think like that. Deep down, everyone compares themselves to someone IMO, whether they admit it or not. Is it shallow to think how she thought? Probably, but it's probably coming from a sense of bitterness at not being with this fellow.
That said though, some people also hold themselves higher than they actually are. Like they'll think they're better looking than they really are. I'm not saying OP is or isn't good looking as I've never met her, but from my experience some people clearly do think they're somehow better looking or have better qualities than other people when clearly they don't.
I'll just finish by saying yes I do think physical attraction does matter. There are tons of times when I see a hot chick with some loser looking guy and I'd be thinking "wow, what does she see in that ######?". I'm not ashamed to admit it.
