TWO WHOLE FRIENDS! Stop the presses!
The research has been done on this. The undeniable fact is "pretty" people have a clear advantage in life.
I know that may make you feel uncomfortable, but it's the truth. The same as being poor is a disadvantage so is being ugly.
Just like someone who grows up poor can overcome it, so can ugly people. But that doesn't mean the disadvantage isn't there...
You called one person being that way an outlier, so I added three more from my own experience (two friends and myself.)
And yeah, maybe that is still an outlier. I'm willing to accept that, because I have something that might explain why it's more common with the people I know. The three of us are part of a Christian fellowship, and Phillipians 3:3 says we have confidence in Christ and not the flesh - interestingly enough, I literally just got back from a Bible study with that group where we hit that verse.
You also might know three people that are more confident in themselves because confident people tend to be outgoing and know lots of other people, compared to people who aren't very confident.
Well then most people would know such a person.

Yup, they would, but that wouldn't really dismiss the other guy's point.
I have this strange suspicion that you find yourself to be ugly.
This wasn't the point as i read, the question was about confidence. And this has little to do with how "pretty" you are. Your confidence is only in your mind. Sure if others think of you as ugly, it's harder to gain confidence. But I think especially a lot of girls have confidence issues with their appearance despite looking "good".
