identical twins?

I've always thought that identical twins were usually quite plain looking but obviously kept this to myself. Recently a friend of mine found out that she was expecting twins and rang me up all excited to tell me. During the conversation she said "my Mum is upset cos they are going to be identical and that means they won't be as attractive their older siblings"

I asked her how she felt about this hurtful comment and she replied that her mum was right - how often do you see good looking twins? and you are lucky if one is even attractive.

I know obviously that looks are such a small part of a child's make up but I'm the wrong person to try and boost my friends confidence on this even though I have tried.

What do other Mumsnetters think?

I have known three sets of identical twins (two male, one female). All very good looking, especially one of the male sets. Unbelievably gorgeous looking.
