From personal experience the path-of-least-grief is to assume that attractiveness, intelligence, personality, and diligence are all uncorrelated.



Very good.

However, I also remember that some things do affect the outcome. For example, there are studies that being tall or attractive provides some advantages, or that being short or bald provide some disadvantages in controlled experiments.


Since people value attractiveness for its own sake I think it makes more sense as outcome itself.
