Can someone explain the joke for me?

Is it something to do with smiling in such a way that someone can see your gums is artificial? Is it a customer service smile or something?

    Usually this is seen as unattractive by societal standards. People, men and women, are generally much nicer if they feel they are unattractive. Larger people, physical deformaties, general insecurities, things like that. "Ugly" people make up for not being "attractive" by being nicer.

    Using quotes because beauty is absolutely in the eye of the beholder, and I don't agree with society on beauty standards.
