Coming at this from a larger perspective I think the more a person is attached to their ego the more they suffer.... period. From a completely objective stand point though I guess you could say beautiful people have more objective success than ugly people, however, they do not suffer any more or less because of it. I would say they probably suffer more because they are more attached to their image/ego, so in the grand scheme of things it's probably worse.

I mean think about it. The more beautiful you are at 20, the uglier you are in contrast at 40 or 50. You gotta see that everything has an opposite, for every pleasure there is a pain associated, the same goes for beauty. The only way out is non-attachment.
