Looking Good…

How Important Is It?

Carrie: “I’ve married the wrong men four times in a row because they were all fine, but I finally learned my lesson.  It takes more than good looks to sustain the relationship. The last guy moved his parents into my home without my permission, and I had to sell my home to get them out.”

Mark: “My cousin saw a picture of a friend who was absolutely gorgeous and insisted on meeting her.  I knew he could never be interested in her because she was super dull.  And just as I figured, after they met, he wasn’t and moved on.

• Cheryl: “I don’t care how a guy looks as long as he gives me all the attention I need.”

• Michaela: “I’ve seen too many fine brothers with not-so-fine sisters to know that looks aren’t so important.”  I think both men and women are more into personality and who makes them feel good.”
• Maria: “I used to view looks as an important factor in sizing up potential in a guy.  But after so many heartbreak encounters with “Mr. Good To Look At” I gave up.  Now, I look for kindness, cleanliness, intelligence, and an even temper, in that order.”
• Marilynn: “For me, I can’t begin to get into a guy without his looks playing a major role.  He doesn’t have to be fine, but I have to find something on him that I can enjoy looking at.”
• Carla: “I used to be stuck on the outside package but I’ve learned that attraction might not happen at first, but being around someone and getting to know them firsthand can sometimes bring about an attraction later on.”
• Kyle: “When you’re involved with someone who is good-looking, sometimes their physical presence can often carry you through the days when everything else about them strikes you as ugly.”
