DUH, I’ve known that for most of my life. :wink: :biggrin:

Beautiful people don't just get all the breaks, scientists say they're likely smarter than most people, too.
A study in England conducted by researchers at the London School of Economics found that attractive men and women generally have higher IQs.

Newscasters and actors would seem to disprove that theory. tongue:

Then again smart people may realize looking attractive has social and financial advantages so they spend the money on makeup, hair plugs, plastic surgery because it will payoff in the end.

Some things are testable and thus objective. Beauty is subjective and held in the eye of the beholder. News report states that the study graded beauty. Who did the marking and what criteria were used is not stated. sample size may also be questioned here. Regardless, some of the comments above are great.

RD, good points. Jessica Simpson would be a good example of a subjective beauty. The girl doesn't do much for me.
