What do you guys have to say about the infamous (now taken down) OkCupid study on correlation between looks and personality?

What is there to debunk...people are attracted to good looking people? Bold observations.

OKCupid is a heavily-filtered subset of the general population. It (and other dating spites) focus on the photographic and physical element because that's how indirect human communication works. *In person* there are lot more factors in play.

Not to discount physical attraction, but we have to be aware of the study's bias and information filtering, otherwise we'll come away with a skewed understanding.

Attractive people are perceived more positively and get better treatment in every area of their life the science is pretty clear on that. Attractive people are also more likely to score highly on all sorts of metrics of well-being and happiness. I think these are well established truths. What I don't understand is what about them specifically would be solved by a red pill ideology. Maybe if you could explain why you perceive this as being evidence in favor of the red pill I could answer those concerns better.
