Looks isn't everything
I had gone to the hair saloon this evening to get an haircut and while I was there, there was this conversation between my barber and another customer. They basically were gossiping about a lady who according to my barber was a very pretty lady and also someone he had asked to be his girlfriend in the past and she had rudely turned him down, and now she's back, trying to be friendly and all that.
That conversation suddenly reminded me of another conversation I was having with the guys a while back. One of them had asked me what type of lady I like and me being me, my first response was going to be "Anything that breathes" but instead I had gone with "I don't have a type" which was truly an honest answer.
Unlike most of the guys who pick their lady based on their physique, I've come to understand that looks isn't everything, yes it's important but definitely not everything. Like I always say to my friends, the look is what would bring me closer to want to know you, your character is what would determine if I'm staying or not.
In as much as everyone wants a pretty lady by their side, I feel the one thing that should be placed way higher above the beauty of a woman is her character, her behavior. A good looking lady with a very bad character will end up looking ugly to you, it will only take time for you to see her for who she truly is.
Unfortunately, not a lot of brothers think this way and that is why most of them ignore or try to endure the bad character because of how beautiful she is, while convincing themselves that she would change and that all she needs is time. Those people I believe are dumb.
And although I don't see anything wrong with a lady turning a guy down, the reason why I understood the way my barber felt (because he sounded like he was pissed off towards the girl) was because I've seen what this beautiful ladies can do to a man. Most of them think that their beauty is everything and that they could get any man they want, so they let that get to their head and end having this really rude character until life humbles them.
Anyways, I really hope we guys can do better and stop settling for anybody just because they have a fine face and a nice physique. We need to start looking beyond just what the physical eyes can see. Yes having a beautiful lady is good, but having an average looking lady with a really good character is best. Remember, looks isn't everything.
