It's a popular and accepted theory that self confidence is a byproduct of attractiveness, but I wonder if the reverse is more true?

@mawr Feedback loop I figure. Pretty much everything is cumulative with a big chunk of initial investment. So if you're pretty, you've got an advantage towards being self-confident. If you're self-confident, you've got an advantage to being pretty.

@Leucrotta Yeah, that's probably it.

@mawr I'm not sure about "more true", but this does anecdotally seem to be true. I do find myself far more attracted to people with healthy self confidence than normatively pretty people. This might also be because their confidence helps put me at ease.
