Are good looking people 'nicer' because they are treated better by everyone?

Girl A or Boy Z are born into the world and from the beginning of their life experience, they get treated well by their parents, their family, their extended family, their peers, their friends, their teachers, the postman, the delivery man, the shopkeepers, their co-workers, their employers, and by total strangers. Girl A and Boy Z are really nice people and very popular because of the preferential treatment they get for looking good. Generally speaking, they are estimated highly in all areas of their life.

It would be a lie to say that attractive people do not get treated better by everybody because of their appearance, scientific research has suggested this statistical truism, and this becomes their worldview of life, that people are generally nice to them and this is the way the world is to them, and they become nice as a product of being treated nicely by others.

Is there any grain of truth in this?

Why not
Yes, it makes sense.
Nope beauty varies quite a lot from person to person. So i'm not sure if it would be universally true. However in more capitalist countries (USA) the rich are definitely treated much better than the poor and that's pretty much a fact.

This is simple evolution they were born with desirable characteristics therefore received preferential treatment it is mother nature at its finest as it means the human race will continue to improve.
To an extent, yes. It's true good-looking people defo get treated better. But it could lead to them being nice or just some self-entitled, arrogant, spoilt person.
