Default Positive Correlation Between Attractiveness and Narcissism?

Do you agree that the more attractive a person is, the more likely they are to have an inflated ego, and look down and manipulate others for their own satisfaction? Is your answer based on personal experience?

No. I know some very unattractive people who are narcissistic. I would attribute it to their upbringing and personality. It seems like the question could be whether someone's physical appearance, or perhaps more accurately one's perception of their own appearance, can impact their personality. I know some drop dead gorgeous people who are humble and have a great spirit.

I think yes. It's a generalization not a universal rule but it's mostly true.
