Are All Beautiful Women Boring?

I repeat: "Are ALL (physically) beautiful women boring?" In a recent article from a journal Psychological Science, a group of scientists went about to discover whether women who are physically attractive would also have equally appealing character traits and values. Guess what is the result of their findings? They found that physically beautiful women tend to focus more on conformity and self-promotion than independence and tolerance. Initially, I did not really pay any attention to this article and I simply shook my head and shrugged it off as some attention seeking article to comfort the unattractive women like myself. Until I arrived at the office and recall a conversation in the pantry with my boss's personal assistant, who is really a good looking woman - physically attractive, flawless face, nice skin, manicured nails and a very good sense of dressing. However, she has a lot of problems relating to her peers and other women at work. Only then, did the article strike me when she totally lack the various traits and values that would make her easily approachable and get along. From her account, I did some checking around with our other colleagues and gathered that she could never hold a conversation for more than a minute, has a high sense of her own opinion, could never take a joke on her account, does not tolerate people's mistakes, stubborn and stuck up. Compliant only to superiority and authority other than that, she is simply a tough nut as far as being sociable is concern. Also, recalling my high school classmate who was a princess of the class who could never stop gloating about her endless range of beauty products she uses and her collection of clothings. At that time, while she was the hot favorites with the guys in the school, she just could not fit in with the rest of the girls in class. Just the other night, my husband was commenting on one of the television serials where he said that beautiful women (leading actress) never seem to be the first to admit fault, give in to an argument or comforting to their male partners. They sit so high and think so highly of themselves till they are unreachable. So, hurrah! For the imperfect non looker me, but I am still doubtful about this article. My doubt is in the area where beauty being an eye catcher does has its advantages as far as appeal is concern. They (attractive women) would not have to work as hard to attract or befriend people when they can be impressionable on first appearance and look. Compared to the buck tooth and pimple faces who would need to work on traits like sense of humor, good listening ear and interpersonal communication skills to overcome their shortcomings. However, I have to admit that I have cut out this article for some self comfort and motivation. Is there anything wrong with me? What do you think? Do you agree with this article and the findings of the scientists?
