Does he find her attractive even though she's not the average beauty?

The point of this sonnet isn't so much whether or not he finds her attractive.  Shakespeare avoids comment on that.  Instead, he speaks of her attributes in even, unadorned prose, avoiding any embellishment.  His point is that he loves her for who she is - it doesn't matter at all what she looks like.
