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?

Okay, stop trying to misrepresent my argument. I never said a damn thing about genes and that's not what we were debating. Can a person's attractiveness (or lack of) affect their personality development in both negative and positive ways? Yes. I view confidence as a positive trait but too much is a bad thing. The regular definition of better. That just further proves my point. People kill for a wide variety of reasons. I don't see how killing people has anything to do with countering my argument.
