Why do girls say looks matter when how I look has only ever gotten me surface level praise?

All my life, even from some girls I thought of as physically attractive: "Oh he's so cute lol" and compliments from adults etc. Yet I've never gotten close to establishing any relationship. I tried Tinder once and found a girl I found unattractive because I couldn't find anyone else. She was so eager online, we both seemed desperate enough to push things VERY quickly, but suddenly turned me down in person. If the gender roles were reversed with me and her, I feel she would never reject me because if you take an "unattractive" guy and put him with a girl considered attractive by society, he'd be nuts to turn her down (ESPECIALLY if he was desperate). Yet girls keep saying as if physical appearance matters. I just can't wrap my head around, understand the inconsistent logic.
