Its funny to me to see how people these days are only concerned with what you look like in a bikini. When I was growing up my father instilled in my sister and I the importance of having a quality education. Now a days the only requirements it seems are what are your measurments!!!! What men and women both have to understand is this. Today we may look like supermodels but what about in the next twenty years when our looks begin to slowly fade. I dont know about anybody else but what a person looks like has always been closer to the bottom of my list of requirements. What I want is something that is solid. Something that is real. Something that will last through the good times as well as the bad. I dont know....maybe I am the only person who feels this way!!!!

Easy man to love, I really like your words! Well said. But the young lady is correct, the looks will soon fade.

It takes looks to capture a mans attention, a mind to keep it and a tender soul with which to hold his heart...

Hence the saying: Give me a woman lovely enough to hold my gaze, smart enough to hold my attention and kind enough to hold my heart.

Looks are fleeting.  They help in getting a person but they don't work in keeping them.  In the long run, your father was right to focus on education and charater.  Good for him.
