Attractive women may gain the competitive edge by letting their temper flare more, research suggests.

Researchers found women who rated themselves as pretty displayed a war-like streak when fighting battles to get their own way. They interviewed more than 150 female students to gauge their temperament and how they handled conflict.

The study found that the women who believed they were good looking were more likely to respond angrily in disputes. Attractive women also had higher expectations of what they deserved.

When the researchers examined the findings further, they found the results were also true when the attractiveness was judged by other people, rather than the women themselves. And so did hair color, with blondes rated as more attractive than brunettes and redheads.
