In reality intelligent aliens might look like anything from fungus(a cooperative symbiotic microbiological mind) to a Coke machine(a compact artificial intelligence) or a myriad other options.

I take it you base your
assumptions from science fiction movies. Star Trek much? Star Wars? Sightings? Any of the other
<inappropriate language removed> gypsy crap you watch? You probably believe movies like "war of the worlds" and "independence day" depicting alien beings as hateful beings too stupid to take care of their own planets but smart enough to build space ships the size of multiple american states aren't flawed. Honestly, if those alien beings lead such a destructive existence up to that point of their biological evolution, they wouldn't have had the common sense and organizational abilities to develop enough of a common understanding of the universe to design space craft capable of interstellar travel, especiallly any that isn't 100% sure to be explode before they even see any sign of life off the ground that the craft crashes into after takeoff.
What we know is what we know, and as your brain is not separate from your body, neither is the truth. To know the truth, you must reflect it. If you think the truth is subjective in the way that these other beings in outerspace look like slimy cock roaches, think again. Think of a tiger. Fast, big, powerful, strong, but for what? He's all these things to speed up his own 12 years of life to death. And if he isn't any of those things, he dies even sooner. The tiger is a slave to his prey, he is a prey to his prey. He relies on them, and thus the ground upon which their prey bleeds to death becomes the tiger's ultimate fate. You are what you eat...
So basicallly, advantages are disadvantages. YOu have to live in harmony with the universe to have the understanding it takes to travel light years. Not destroy everything. You are what you eat (destroy). So these aliens aren't going to be grotesque looking beings that just kill
<inappropriate language removed> because that's what they do, they're human. Beauty is objective, because truth is objective. And as blue eyes seems to be the most beautiful eye color, it sounds about right that aliens would know this too.
