People with symmetrical faces are more self-sufficient and less likely to co-operate, new research suggests. Kate Moss, George Clooney, Natalie Portman or Cristiano Ronaldo may be many people's ideas of dream dates, but pioneering research that combines economics with biology suggests they may not be perfect life partners.
According to a study by Santiago Sanchez-Pages, who works at the universities of Barcelona and Edinburgh, and Enrique Turiegano, of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, people blessed with more symmetrical facial features, which are considered more attractive, are less likely to co-operate and more likely to selfishly focus on their own interests.

Or is it just that these people have been surrounded by others who tell them they are special and better then others. When you have a culture that caters to what ever the ideal of beauty is, then people in that ideal become selfish and spoiled. Different culture would have a different set of "beaufiful" people.
There's a difference between oblivious and selfish. Some attractive people are oblivious to the fact that they get special treatment, as LadyBelle noted above. But I think some of the most selfishly greedy people in recent history are also some of the least attractive.
yeah we're kinda like that.
