So the basis of your opinion is you’ve met a few Instagram models and strippers?  Great.  I use science, and there is a big pile of data over there that says there is no link between brain development and outward appearance.  I do think you can infer some personality traits from outward appearance, but there is absolutely nothin to suggest that an uglier person is more likely to be smarter, kinder or more interesting.

And for clarification, I wasn’t saying pretty girls are superior mentally either, only that there is no link at all.  In your excitement to disagree you assumed I was saying the opposite. I’m not “white knighting”, but you do come across as a bit InCel.

*tips fedora, good day.

You're claiming to use science when you haven't provided anything. That bolded part is wrong especially if it's worded as personality development.

 A person's attractiveness level can affect their personality development as they age in both positive and negative ways. It changes how society treats them and their individual experience. An uglier person is more incentivized to develope a better personality (like trying to be funnier) so they don't become an incel (which you accused me of being lol) or have no friends. It can also have an inverse effect. Anyway, "there's no link between brain development and outward appearance " is easy to refute.

You can also use common sense.

Do you think an attractive person is more confident than an ugly person in general?

Science is pretty solid that pretty genes do not inhibit personality genes or intelligence genes.  Do you view confidence as a negative personality trait?  When you say an uglier person is incentivized to have a better personality, define better. We’ve had a few ugly people go on killing rampages lately because they can’t get sex.  When was the last time a pretty person went and killed people because of having so many people wanting to shag them?
