Does self-image explain who will believe that “looks don’t count”?

Asked by VzzBzz (2784points) April 8th, 2009

In a past discussion http://www.fluther.com/disc/41026/if-you-were-raised-on-the-belief-looks-dont-count-did/ the jellies shared a few personal outlooks. This made me wonder if the way a person perceives themselves (beautiful looking or not so much) would influence their belief in the idea that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.

This might work two ways—less goodlooking people might be more likely to believe it in an attempt to equal the playing field, or goodlooking people might espouse the view just to show they are like ordinary people.

What do you think? Does this relationship exist?
