I once met an ultrasound tech who disagrees with you there. And I, apparently, have a very pretty uterus!
More seriously:
To someone shallow, 'pretty' requires a barbie doll look. I'm sure you know the standards they set. Yet if you look at artistic representations of beautiful women over the centuries and across cultures; you'll see just how varied standards of beauty are.
I, personally, think that beauty comes out in how a person uses their body. In expressions, mannerisms, behaviours.
My grandmother, who I knew from ages 70-ish to 90-something, was and still is the most beautiful woman I have ever known: and there was no way she could ever meet the barbie doll look. Her facial wrinkles were those of someone who smiled and loved a lot, and even when she was old and in pain, her mannerisms and movements and expressions showed love and care. (just .. also pain.)
Anakah, I have no idea what you look like. But if you live beautifully, lovingly, caringly, then that is what will develop in your face as you age. If Ms Shallow remains shallow, she'll probably become a 'cat-butt-face lady' as she ages. Guess who'll be beautiful then!
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Alternatively go for the classics with a bit of G&S: "I have a left shoulder-blade that is a miracle of loveliness. People come miles to see it. My right elbow has a fascination that few can resist. It is on view Tuesdays and Fridays, on presentation of visiting card. As for my circulation, it is the largest in the world. Observe this ear. Large? Enormous! But think of its delicate internal mechanism. It is fraught with beauty! As for this tooth, it almost stands alone. Many have tried to draw it, but in vain."
I doubt you'd get through it all, but have fun trying!

I agree with the others. Don't let these shallow, self-absorbed jerks dictate your own sense of self worth.
