Do you find it common that the more attractive the person is the more terrible their personality?

Question

Yes, there are exceptions. But most of the time it seems true. Why do you think that is so?

Answer 1

They don't have to have good personalities when they know they have looks...generally speaking.

Answer 2

It seems like people that have grown up knowing that they are attractive are like that, but people that develop into attractiveness aren't usually. If you have looks, you don't need to develop a good personality to get people to notice you, so they tend to think they are better than everyone just because they've been told that they are pretty a couple of times.

Answer 3

Actually, I think it's *more* common for a not-so-attractive person to become even more attractive with an awesome personality!

But attractive people who have terrible personalities probably happens because they feel they are instantly liked by others for their looks and feel like they don't need substance to back it up.

Answer 4

If they are a terrible person they are not attractive (at least to me they're not). I think you meant on the outside. I think it's mainly becuase they feel too much pride. As if they're beauty on the outside is an accomplishment on it's own. And I guess they think it gives them the idea that becuase of this "accomplishment" they have more rights than other people do and that they are better than everyone else.

Answer 5

My experience is they are spoiled, which means raised with a bad sense of values.' I'm special' or 'the rules don't apply to me' or some such. This thinking leads to Hell. I once knew an average-looking fellow who was an only child, and raised as his parent's pet. He thought he could do no wrong, and had attrocious manners, even though he was in his 40's. Lying, stealing, drunkeness, he was God's gift and wouldn't straighten himself up. Sponge off people, in-and-out of jail, no discipline, and yet he would openly tell people he was better than they were. He would lie to your face and expect everyone to believe it, because he wanted it that way. Mention church and psychiatry to him, and he'd not only claim he didn't need it, but that he was better than teachers, doctors and religion. The word denial entered the english language because of him. Talk to his parents, and they were just as bad. Trailer trash with evil, selfish values--no credit to America. Although he probably was beaten up through out his life( I don't know), his mom knew lawyers that would protect her special,spoiled pet. Awful. Without a change of heart, these people are to be avoided because they will drag you down to beneath their tragic level and produce nothing good in return.

Answer 6

That's not always the case, but it can be quite common. People get caught up in that "High School" mentality, where looks and perception are the only thing that matters. I think the older people get, and the more intelligent they become through life experience, the more they realize that things like that are not o important. Except models. Vain, uneducated, really annoying people, at least in my opinion.

Answer 7

Mostly in the case of some girls. They'll use the fact that they are petite and pretty to do not-so-innocent things, and they usually get away with it.

In the case of good-looking people, sure there are the arrogant ones who take their looks for granted, but for the most part a good-looking person usually lives a pleasant life, so they usually have a pleasant personality.

Answer 8

They've been told all there lives how pretty/handsome they are..and how they'll have no trouble attracting the opposite sex..

I think they end up believing the hype and start prancing around like they're God's gift to the human race.

It's true though..this isn't for all attractive people. It's only for the ones who don't know who to handle compliments properly.

Answer 9

Actually, yes and no.

One reason I think that is true, is that people who are physically attractive have a very large ego, and begin to think they are better then everyone else.

But that doesn't mean there aren't people who just naturally have great personalities, and it just so happens they are physically attractive as well.

Answer 10

No, I have not found this to be true. Most of the really attractive people I know are nice and have pleasant personalities.

Answer 11

I don't know about it being common, but I have met a lot of people who think (and act) that just because they are better looking, thinner, etc than someone else, that makes them somehow 'better' or 'superior' and it often shows through in the way they behave, especially around the people they feel they are better than.
