why being pretty ain't all it's cracked up to be

USA Today covered a study looking at happiness of people judged to be the most and least attractive.
So, the difference between the top and bottom ten-to-fifteen percent?

The 15% most beautiful are 10% happier. 5% is in economic benefits, 5% is in the satisfaction of knowing that lots of people want to bone you. (that's not in the study, but that's my best guess)

That's nothing to sneeze at, but it's a bit... small, wouldn't you think? You'd think that all those claims that being pretty means you earn more, or marry more attractive partners, or having people trust you more would all make you happier.

Oh wait. I guess those kinds of things don't actually make you happy.
