(this is largely irrelevant to the discussion, but it's an interesting sidetrack, I think) >Physical attractiveness correlates pretty well with income. In the bit of the world where I live, there seems to be almost an inverse correlation between physical attractiveness and income, just because nearly all the high-income folks I know are serious computer types, which (at least before a few years back) correlated with not taking particularly good care of your body, in part because physical attractiveness mattered a lot less when getting a computer industry job than in nearly any other industry. When me and my friends or co-workers went out to lunch, the service staff was almost always way more attractive than we were. Now, there's some pretty obvious selection bias there, of course, and I don't doubt that you are mostly correct (if you correct for age, first) with a large enough and random enough sample size, but in the context of this website, the sample isn't particularly random.
