unattractiveness
Absence of beauty
Unattractiveness is the quality of not being appealing to look at or consider.
The word applies to physical appearance but extends to anything that fails to draw interest or desire: the unattractiveness of the investment, the sheer unattractiveness of the proposal.
Unlike ugliness, unattractiveness suggests a lack of positive qualities rather than the presence of negative ones.
