Theory:
Maybe one percent of the population is actually attractive. The rest of you are, quite simply, not. A person can be ugly on the inside or on the outside. If you are ugly on the outside, there's nothing you can do about that. No matter what you do, you'll be ugly on the outside. Most attractive people are ugly on the inside. We know that we are attractive, and we become arrogant, and our arrogance is ugly.
Do you agree?

A boy in our youth group was just talking about the same thing. He said he doesn't like the girls who spend so much time looking pretty, because they are typically shallow with ugly insides and not worth his effort. He's wise for a high school student.
I agree.
However, some people might disagree because they find arrogance attractive. In this case, your conclusions would prove false.
Most people only find arrogance attractive in themselves, so I think we're safe.
People change through time. You could be blond and tan now only to become bald and wrinkly later. Or they could be scrawny and pale now only to become slim and smooth later.
While it's important to be attracted physically, why not add emotionally and intellectually to the list?
Never put all your eggs in one basket.
I look for the whole picture. Brains& personality that click with my own are far more important that the package it is wrapped in.
Arrogance is only one kind of internal ugliness, and one not possessed by all who have outward beauty. The false dichotomy of either external or internal ugliness is born of insecurity (a different form of internal ugliness).
The boy in *sara*'s youth group, based on the description in 1st comment, is apparently eager to discard whole people because of a single personality flaw (real or perceived). Perhaps some call this "wisdom"; others may call it another form of internal ugliness.
I find it very funny that you put "we" in that last paragraph.....
