I was in your situation and I married a woman I was not attracted to. **Take my advice and don't listen to anyone else's speculative musings.** Years ago I met a girl who checked all the boxes, debt free virgin w/o tattoos or piercings, intelligent and caring, very attracted to me. I held off dating her because she wasn't my type and, like you, I didn't feel that initial rush. We had "chemistry" but it was more of a social comfortableness I felt around her than me wanting to spend every second with her.
Eventually though I realized that what I wanted and what I needed in a wife were two very different things. Back then I was young and degenerate, and I wanted that passionate feeling of what I thought was love. I wanted excitement instead of stability, and physical attraction instead of emotional compatibility. I decided to commit to her, and after dating mostly long distance for almost four years, we got married. At the time I still felt like I was settling. Rationally I knew I was making the right decision but emotionally everything felt wrong and horrible. It was so bad that I can honestly say one of the hardest things I have ever done was walk out to the alter on my wedding day and stand there before God, feeling like a hypocrite and a failure.
Years later though, we are happily married with two beautiful children. She respects and cherishes me, and I love her more than I have loved any one in my life. When you're young and immature you never actually feel love. It's just a mixture of lust, jealousy, and horniness. Love is something you grow over time, intentionally, that can carry you through anything. You can be attracted to someone's body sexually, but as soon as they get fat, ugly, or old that disappears. If you love someone's body it's because you love their soul. I recommend you give this girl of yours a chance. Remember you're playing the long game, and a few years of anxiety when you're young and stupid is well worth a fulfilling marriage for the rest of your life.
The last thing I'll say is that about a year or so into our marriage I became extremely attracted to my wife. Even after two kids I still am (if you know what you're doing this doesn't actually change much), and she is to me. Appearance is way more malleable than you would think and after a year or so of eating right and exercising you're basically a new person. You are incredibly fortunate you have found such an excellent woman, especially in these times. I know you may not feel this way, but trust me that in a few years you certainly will. God be with you and feel free to reach out if you have questions.

If he wasn't, why are they together now? He must at least enjoy spending time together or they'd have never hit it off.
We are in a church small group together so I got to know her a bit before considering anything romantic. Also, she asked me out first. I wasn't attracted enough to make a move, but I knew she had enough to offer to say yes.
asking the important questions
Go to the gym, take her with you. Go hiking. Etc.
Anyone can have a good looking body when they get off goyslop and get active.
are you sure "she" isn't a tranny?
In any case, I will say that physical attraction is a key component to any healthy marriage. Before I was redpilled, I was in a relationship with a woman who didn't take care of herself. I thought I could overlook it, but I was wrong. On the other side, though, in a healthy marriage, many men grow to love their spouse in spite of their physical flaws, especially as they provide them children and a loving home.
If it's worth pursuing (for you), ask her if she'd be willing to get healthy with/for you. No need to pussyfoot around the subject, just be gentle. Most good women, if they're dedicating themselves to a man, will strive to be what the man needs of them.
