I think maybe the waters part and people avoid them because it is a touchy issue. You wonder to yourself "Can they stand to be away from a mirror long enough to socialize with us 'normal people'?" In other words, do they have massive egos and attitudes? When you're dealing with middle of the road looks like Mr. intuition and myself, I found there was less of an issue there. But when someone was butt ugly or marble statue gorgeous, you had an issue to deal with one way or another. Being beautiful can be as big a liability as it is an asset, simply because it further complicates things. A prospective couple can't help but notice their attractiveness, and while they certainly like that, it inevitibly will raise the question, "Do they think they're better than us?" If the answer is no, that's great. But it's just the fact that they have to wonder in the first place whether these 'beautiful people' hold a higher opinion of themselves because of it.

'Barbie-&-Ken'-ness has been a hotly debated topic around here. People get offended so easily. Everyone is right, and at the same time, everyone is wrong. When someone says "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.", it's a genuine plea. But at the same time, someone else takes that the wrong way, interpreting it as, "Don't hate me because I'm better than you." Now, of course, if that's the way it was intended, I won't apologize for being offended by it. I can't imagine anyone wouldn't be offended by being condescended to. But if they are truly frustrated because others are prejudiced against them for their beauty, I really feel for them. Their plight isn't any different than those who are...aesthetically challenged, shall we say. It's the way they are, and there's not much that can be done about it. You can't change everyone's minds.

This is just my best guess. I don't really have much experience in this area.
