Yeah, and whatever little chance he might have had to get love as a beast was further sabotaged by the transfiguration of both the castle and the nearby forest (and the latter was strongly implied by the stained glass window). Heck, regarding the servants, they got transfigured too, and they're likely to die as a result of the rose's last petal falling. Beast would have had a chance if the servants remained human. At least the maid could help undo the spell that way had she remained human (loyalty to her boss, after all).
And as far as real life ugly men snagging beautiful women, you forgot to mention Jean-Paul Sartre, one of the more famous, or rather, infamous examples of this, and Jean-Paul Sartre's actions, not to mention the girls falling for him despite literally EVERYTHING about him being extremely ugly (not just physical appearance wise, but also the content of his character), just rendered the idea that true beauty comes from within completely meaningless. His womanizing and sleeping with countless women young enough to be his granddaughters, and then cruelly tossing them aside and having more joy at breaking their virginity than, well, them as human beings, would have been enough to put Gaston, Lumiere, and Claude Frollo to absolute shame (and in the case of Gaston and Frollo, be profoundly disgusted with him.).
