In my high school, the cheerleaders were not only the better-looking
girls, but also the more studious.  Several of them were straight-A
students.  Perhaps this is because in the South, scholarship is
considered to be a feminine pursuit (boys were often embarrassed
if their grades were too high).

As to whether a beautiful woman has any incentive to develop her
inner traits, it really depends on what sort of man she expects
to attract.  The more you have to offer, the more you can get.
A woman who is ONLY beautiful may choose a man who is ONLY handsome,
or perhaps a rich, ugly man.

But if the woman has all three:  brains (educations), great beauty, 
and good character/personality, then she will probably be better
able to attract a sexy, successful man who is a real nice guy,
as well.

Conclusion:  the more the better.
