No but a better personality makes someone prettier

There's enough variance that its impossible to generalize.

However, everyone has a different cross to bear.

Across different cultures and over the centuries the assumption that physical beauty and moral beauty correlate seems prevalent. Just ask the folks at Central Casting.

People get treated differently, and its hard to remain indifferent to the way that one is treated.

I've met a few "beautiful people" in my line of work. I would say that those in the top 10 % seem somewhat shallower. But among the top 1 %, I've met some of the brightest friendliest people.

In my opinion this may be the difference between the kind of beauty which makes you popular, and the kind which makes you unapproachable. Those women whose beauty is staggering were often the gawky ugly duckling in HS; just look at the school pictures of some world-class beauties. And as adults, they've had to make their own opportunities.

While the "girl next door" type attracts guys who are look-ist, the "goddess" has to make it on her own.

I can't say that I know any of these women well. But one of my co-workers was a guy whose looks were enough to make Bradd Pitt look like Ernest Borgnine. Not only did he have the looks, he also had the intellect. But his studies were through sheer determination. The rest of the world assumed that a guy with his face and physique didn't need a classical education. If he'd been any less determined he might've succumbed to the temptation constantly before him to coast through life on his looks. Its hard not to be damaged by such treatment.

As for the rest of us, we know from within our own skins that the good and the handsome don't equate. In the long run, its the personality which makes or breaks a relationship. Sometimes the contents and the package come together. But if one holds out too long hoping to win the lottery, a lot of great opportunities to live in the present become lost.
