...socially"? Before everyone makes a call to arms, I am not saying that beautiful people are absolutely underdeveloped socially, or that all beautiful people are underdeveloped compared to all ugly people. What I mean is, with all things equal, a physically attractive person would be not be as socially developed as an ugly person in the same situation.
The logic being that less attractive people tend to been forced to compensate for their lack of physical attractiveness by developing other aspects of their personality. Science constantly employs the principle of Occam's Razor; to select the hypothesis that makes the least assumptions or in other words, the simplest answer is usually the right one.
Likewise, it seems ridiculous to me to think that a beautiful person would feel the need to develop their personality as much as an uglier person in their position. Thus, how is it unreasonable to further conclude that beautiful people typically are less developed socially/psychologically.
I suppose I was shocked that what I considered a rather trivial conclusion seemed to offend the people I was with. They acted like I had said something completely bigoted. Could someone offer me a rationale counter argument?
