But interestingly enough the paring of the two 'beautiul people' were rated at the bottom in happiness/success. Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of the study participants. LOL!

seems to me it was done among college students doing the ratings. so perhaps getting 'shot down' was more fresh in their minds.
However, think about it - how many 'successful' marriages are there between two 'beautiful people'. Seems to me the last famous one, Brittainy, didn't last even a whole day.

In the pretty/not-pretty pairings, the assumption would be (in order to GET the pretty one) that the not-so-goodlooking person had something going for him besides looks, which would translate into future income. Income translates into comfort, which is conducive to happiness
