No.

It's more than just looks.

For example: Let's say that all the girls in Miss Perfect Popular all went to the same prep schools, vacationed in Europe every summer, all talk about shopping/make-up clothes from the sme stores, play tennis together at the same clubs, and are all from the same area. They share common experiences throughout their lives, and yes, some of them might have the same looks.

If you haven't been to Europe, went to a regular school, are not really into the things they talk about, and don't like tennis, you are not going to have alot in common with a Miss Perfect Popular. If everyone in Miss Perfect Popular has similar interests, chances are good that they are going to be most interested in those girls who have the same.

Sometimes, a PNM will look at Miss Perfect Poular House and realize that they're great but not for her (not alot in common). If Miss Perfect Pop. cuts them, no biggie. They understand that they don't really fit there and look at the others that chose to invite them back.

Other PNMs might have nothing in common with them, but decide that they want to be a Miss Perfect Popular (because that's the type of person they WANT to be.) So if they are cut by Miss Perfect House, they refuse to look at others. They may have more in common with other houses, but they are stuck on who they aspire to be.

I find that it's the same for other chapter. Ex: Nice Regular House. They all went to the same regular school, maybe from the same small towns, enjoyed doing outdoor things and playing sports. They aren't really big on talking about shopping. If you are a Miss Popular House kind of girl, you are probably not going to be super interested in Nice Regular.

I could be crazy here and way off. lol. Feedback welcome.
