Blink. That first impression of a person is everything. So what is the first impression constitute of? 60% physical appearance, and 40% all other things like you attitude and what that person is doing at that time: reading a book, yelling at someone or ordering a coffee. No, none of us want to date the ugly. We all want Brad Pitts and Megan Foxes. The ugly wants the pretty and pretty wants the pretty; so how is this equation going to work? There's only so much pretty everyone can get (excluding plastic surgery from the equation for the time being).
I believe, everyone who says "No way. I won't date the ugly" probably won't WANT to date that person but end up dating it because there are so many other forces that drive them together. The answer depends on only one thing, if a person didn't had the experience before; why are you dating, in general? If you answer that, you'll answer if pretty is all you need or only what you prefer.
If you did end up dating an ugly person, you probably know that there is so much attraction forces among humans that it cannot be possibly limited to physical appearance. And trust me, no ones really ugly. People are just careless, and that is part of who they are. Maybe they like being natural and easy going. Maybe that is what will attract them to you. On the other hand, remember that "ugly" is a quite subjective term. Thus, this entire discussion is merely personal: depends if you are considered ugly or pretty to the other significant person, and how she or he considers you as well.
Overall, what I am trying to say is, no one will answer this question yes. Without meeting that amazing ugly person, how can they know? It is all about the experience; and understanding that everything is possible in this world. And one thing that should not be disregarded; if that ugly person somehow manages to at least get your attention or even make you fall for him or her, imagine how powerful of a character and charisma he has. Yes, it is all about the charisma; and do not forget, Hitler was considered the most charismatic leaders of all time. So, do not even bother answering this question no, and believing in your reasons because you really cannot know.
