meaning of homeliness and fleshy skin

[Klpno]

Hi everyone.

I'd like to ask what does 'homeliness' mean in the following passage? Does it mean lack of beauty/attractiveness? And what is a fleshy skin - is it a thick skin or not?

Those with an appreciation of human beauty claimed that he was not particularly handsome, his face a touch asymmetrical, the skin rough and fleshy, while his thick mahogany-brown hair looked as if it was cut with a knife and his own strong hands. Yet that homeliness made him intriguing to some human females, judging by the idle chatter.

KLPNO,
Judging from the context, homeliness here means lacking stylishness or elegance, rather than lack of attractiveness because 1. his hair is a mess and 2. the ladies like him

Fleshy skin, to me, is skin bulging with meat...suggest that he's plump or fat. It's hard to picture skin both rough and fat...but that's what it says.

Thank you very much, diverhank.
