I always found compliments about my personality to be much more impacting than any compliment I ever received about how I look. I think she is just trying to say that she doesn't want to be seen as just a pretty face, I think she honestly wants people to see the inside, which is what matters more anyway.
Surprisingly, this does strike home with me, not because I've been complimented for this reason (it's rarely happened) but when someone comments on my appearance I can't help but feel superficial since I obviously had no say in how I appear; same reason why I don't like make up, if someones going to like you then let them see what you're truly like, not just 'fatten' up your appearance. I think the fact that you've thought of this is beautiful within itself
Well you don't have to work to be beautiful. She's not being conceited, she just doesn't see the point in complimenting her on something she didn't really do. I'm sure the ST would much rather like to be called smart or interesting, because those things take time and effort to accomplish, while being pretty is effortless and shallow.
To all the people who are upset with the ST for her point of view: Calling somebody pretty and never seeing beyond their appearance can hurt just as much as being called ugly. I've been called both at different times in my life and believe me, it sucks either way.
