Answers:

There has actually been a lot of research into the effect of birth order and personality.

The firstborn kid is a trailblazer. Kids that come later on are able to look to an older sibling as a role model. Consequently, the older kid learns to be bold, more comfortable in strange situations, and is more likely to reach out and make friends.

If you perceive them as more attractive, well, there's that, too. Much of being attractive is being confident. You smile more. And if you smile at someone, they smile back. If they don't smile, you're afraid to approach them.

The last kid born also has unique personality traits, because he's babied longer than his older siblings. If he's a "bonus baby" - one that arrives six or eight years after the other kids - it's even more so.

You'll notice that the fathers in those families are always henpecked dumbbells. The only father since the 1950s to be intelligent, warm, and caring was Bill Cosby. I'd like to point out that the writers of those series are men, and in this case, the characterization is actually self-deprecating humor, and that most fathers are intelligent, warm, caring, and are strong leaders.

Oops. It's my wife calling, I gotta get off the computer and go see what she'd mad about now.
