Shallow

Dear guys,

Many women today are becoming increasingly frustrated with the ridiculously high standards that have been placed on us all by men (and society). We are expected to have perfect bodies and perfect hair, yet are unappreciated for our character and mind. Finding "the perfect guy" might be easy for those of us who have great bodies and great hair, but much more difficult for an average woman. A lot of far-better-than-average women are overlooked by shallow men looking for a great body rather than a great character. 

I'm not saying that all men are like this. Some genuine men look for lasting qualities before they pursue a dating relationship. Intelligence, confidence, love, care, loyalty, and honesty are all qualities that can make or break a relationship. If you were to start considering these qualities before, and not after you look at the outside, maybe more relationships would last.

I'm not saying that attraction isn't important. It's definitely important to be attracted to someone you plan on marrying, God designed it that way. I am saying it is important to be aware of the influence that one look can have. Don't assume that just because a woman has a nice body that she has a nice character. Don't assume that just because another woman is just "okay" in the looks department that she isn't a 10 in the character department. 

A nice body won't last. Skin will wrinkle with age, boobs will sag, and a woman will lose her perfect curves. Nice hair will thin and grey. Teeth will yellow. But character lasts.

Character is who you are when no one is watching.

Be a man with character and pursue women with character.
