The study was conducted by social psychologists at Harvard University and found good-looking people are more likely to struggle with maintaining long-term relationships.

Director of the study, Christine Ma-Kellams, told Broadly that she was interested in the research as most existing literature notes that attractive people have all the luck. Coined โ€œthe beauty premiumโ€, good-looking people have been found to make more money in their careers than less attractive co-workers and receive more attention both in school and at work.

Through her own research, she got her answer, concluding that โ€œbeing physically attractive is not without its liabilitiesโ€.

Now, before you feel sorry for them, you should know that one of the main reasons highlighted in the research is that they have too many options. 

Ma-Kellams explains, โ€œAttractiveness gives you more options in terms of relationship alternatives, which might make it harder to protect a relationship from outside threats. In this sense, having too many other choices is likely not beneficial for relationship longevity.โ€

They may have their looks, but a study has found that physically-attractive people are less lucky in love.
