I don't think it's too much over the top. It's pretty common knowledge that good looking people get treated better than not so good looking people. If the person has been good looking from a very early age (e.g. my younger brother!), they very quickly become trained to expect a certain type of treatment from others because they are attractive, and that usually becomes manifest in adulthood as a certain arrogance and smugness that is fairly unattractive to most people.

So, yeah, I would mostly agree that people who have been considered physically attractive all their lives tend to be less attractive personality wise than average-not very attractive people.

As for attractive women going out with unattractive men, there was a spot on the today show recently that made the claim (based on some study or another) that that sort of pair bonding was more likely to last and be very satisfying to both partners - one of the main reasons being that a less attractive man is more likely to try harder to make the relationship work than would an attractive man.

(Besides, for anything other than a quick roll in the hay, intelligence, wit, charm, kindness, consideration, sensitivity and humour (and a whole host of other qualities) all beat out looks by a long shot for most women when they are listing preferred attributes for a long term relationship. I think most women pretty much figure that sooner or later their man is going to end up bald and fat, so you really need to select for important things because the looks don't last! ;))
