Nothing stops you from having a beautiful woman who also has a good character.

Just don’t be chasing slay queens and “repentant” oloshos/ runs girls/ any girl who is into hookup.

You cannot not overule beauty. Even character has some element of beauty.

And if you're referring to physical beauty, that's always the first thing to see and often last longer in memory.

So yes, you can only proportionate the physical beauty. Even if your partner is crippled, only you will probably see him/her beautiful.

Physical beauty is always a factor whether we like it or not.

It goes without saying that if a woman is ugly you are not attracted to her to even find out if she has a good character. Ironically it also works for a very beautiful woman. Very often a sharp man is only interested in a beautiful woman for sex. Most smart men marry women beautiful enough to be attractive not not beautiful to a point where that is all there is to her.

Fact: it is very difficult to find an extremely beautiful woman with good character. Generally, the more beautiful a woman is the more entitled she is, the more beautiful a woman is, the more scrutiny needs to be put on her.

Fortune118005:

Beauty can fade away at old age but character remains.
Modified: No woman is ugly, every woman is beautiful. Physical beauty without character is equal to annoyance and hatred. So, beauty is not by physical appearance only, good character is the real beauty.

Beauty fades and character changes also, both are subject to change with time, so you can't do away with either of them.

I can't marry someone that does not meet my physical taste just because she has character said to be good. I will just be lying to myself that I made the right choice while deep down I feel deprived.




This is what led many men into cheating..

true, but we all know that the first impression is what gets you to notice someone to remotely wanna get to know them... and that 1st impression is solely physical.... nobody sees an ugly girl and says:" let me get close to this woman and see if she has good character", that doesnt happen... your beauty/sex appeal is what will get someone to notice you FIRST, thats the initial foundation that you will use to build a r/ship with that person
You have said it all sir...
I used to be an advocate of character over beauty, but seeing some not too beautiful sisters around remaining single at marriageable age, while the beautiful ones with not so good character are getting married, I have come to the conclusion that beauty is almost as important as character. Forget what men says online, even married men still admire beautiful women when they see one. Beauty is what will attract & if that attraction is not there in the first place, there won't be any relationship to know if the person got a good character.

Character is everlasting, beauty is fleeting. That's why you must choose character above looks.

And even if you get your beauty standards, her beauty will become the new normal, just as your novel gadgets become ordinary. If her character is not right, she will quickly transform into the ugliest woman in the world.

Most importantly, the true meaning of marriage is tieing yourself with someone competent, so that you can both become stronger, and formidable together. Beauty cant look after you when you are sick for example, but a woman with a good character.

If marriage is a ship, then the couples are the sailors. In the midst of the storm, a beautiful sailor is useless, but you need a competent (think character) one that can sail with you and prevent the ship from sinking.

If you want to go far in life, you need an ally that will traverse this journey of life with you, and character is the engine of it.
this is the real answer to all the questions...but atimes ending up with ugly and pretender that has bad characters lady will make live turn to hell for man, only God know the best

Marrying a beautiful woman without good character, is like buying a house because of colour or paint.

Character is key, but can also be pretending. Those who marry just because of character will end up cheating on their partner.

In all your choosing, go for someone with a good character. If you marry a beautiful woman with rotten character, you will discover that after 6 months of marriage, that beauty becomes useless to you.

However, go for a lady that is well to do and has the right character that suits you. Leave poor girls alone.
When a guy is struggling, they call him broke. But when a woman is struggling, they call her an independent woman.

Character is everything. To show you the importance of character, people are naturally closer and more open minded with individuals who have good character. Nobody likes a person with bad character whether male or female.

In the end, even if you get married and you later discover that your wife has bad character, please LEAVE that marriage. Women may say you are not matured enough, but don't listen to them. A mature man is a HAPPY MAN. Anyone who says you're not a man because you left a woman with bad character, please tell such a person to go ahead and marry your ex wife. If they do, they will soon discover what made you leave her.

Shalom.

You shd've left it at the bolded.
Marrying a beautiful good looking woman is a given bro.
We all know d op didn't mean 'ugly' when he said 'character'.

A man with sense shd rather choose a '5' with character than a '10' without one.

And later, cheat on "character" with "beauty". Even sponsor "beauty" to Maldives, Santorini and spoil her with the choicest things of life while "character" stays at home praying and keeps being the meek wife she always is, hoping her husband changes from his philandering lifestyle.

Funny.

Very true but again do you realise that some people's perception of beauty changes over time. Like a not so beautiful lady can become beautiful in a person's eyes after some years of acceptance and also some ladies can become ugly to some people because of consistent awful character

Once you don't find her attractive, she will only get worse, you can only console yourself with those statements, deep down, you know she'll never be what you wanted.

To answer your question, never, never try to pick an ugly lady because of character, most of those ladies are worse but because of low patronage, they decided to be maleable, after marriage, then you will understand.
