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


I pray you increase more in wisdom.. God bless you.

In addition to that, seriously, beauty fades with time, good character last forever. Beauty does not guarantee a happy home, good character does. Even with beauty that has the right character, character still superseded beauty. Coz if not, why do we have the most beautiful women today, that are not yet married? Why are there beautiful, divorced couples?

Character is the real beauty of all human and not the physical beauty. The physical beauty is just a plus.

Paying of bills of a married couple is based on agreement between them. Most times you decide who to work and who to take care of the child....

For it's my peace of mind over beauty. I don't want to say away from my home because I have a wife who can nag over petty things. I want to come home happy and be happy to be at home.

I have very high specifications I want from my to be woman and I know its difficult to find. What point did you decide to settle for Character over beauty or did you get the high requirements you wanted.

No insults please

Beautiful with good character still dey. The sensible thing to talk about is compatibility. Most guys no wan reason am. You get some good money, next thing you marry a fine girl who blushes at your smile because of your money and the sense of convenience you offer.., but those are temporary. Some few months or years into the marriage money flow drastically reduces. Things start bitting and she bites even harder because you guys were never compatible.
Marry a woman you can take a walk in the field with, with just 2 bottles of coke and 2 packs of gala and still have her unwavering attention.., holding both meaningful , nasty and mundane discussions without feeling you’re wasting your time. Look at her physical blemishes and be creative on what your lifestyle becomes next with her.
There are “ugly” women with beautiful smiles. There are “beautiful” women with ugly, shady eyes, borne from psychological turmoil.
The day you know that beauty is relative and not constant, is the day you fully outgrow your adolescence. There’ll be a time you’ll desire a beautiful family than a beautiful skin. Beauty is perceptual. It comes with other vibrations than light and sight.
Don’t marry who you can’t be proud of walking with in public. You just first have to work on your mind and outgrow mixing frivolities with necessities.
For me, my wife is a witch. I don chop her juju. Me too be witch doctor. She don chop my concoction.
We fit just sidon dey discuss stupid things for hours, lazying around. Time go done go before we remember say we never take real food, if the kids are not around. She too dey gossip. My own na to dey add fuel make the talk continue. She just enjoys talking.
Las las every woman is beautiful.

Its not bros but as long as Oluwa in involved, u re good to go! Dont expect too much from ur woman otherwise she might fake things for u just to please u. Most times try n do litmus test on her while u re still courting so as to know her true color( at least 60/70%). try as much as possible n work on d one u have because u wont get a saint or Mr Right anywhere

Nobody is choosing beauty over character now o!

Tomorrow, some will come and complain about how their wives have put on a few kilos after childbirth and are looking shapeless, then, start running after the beautiful ones.

Character has the upper hand, if I were to choose but they complement each other. The physical features usually attract you. If you didn't find her pleasant-looking, you wouldn't approach her in the first place. But nothing is fixed. Beauty can get ugly tomorrow. Good behaviour can get corrupted.

But choose character, always. And make do with however beautiful she might be.

Very correct, I use to consider women beauty as yardstick to relationship. But as I have grown and married. Characters supercede that.

LivingSage:
We look for beauty only at tender age but as we age, we have different perceptions towards our desires.

Well, I don't know what your high expectations or standards are but make sure you're the right person for such high standards because some people want what they can't give.

Also, I believe you can get what you're looking for except you're looking for it in wrong places or the wrong way.


As touching character and beauty, you can never get enough of beauty. There's always someone "more beautiful" (physically) but one the other end beauty is in the eye of the beholder because I've seen people call someone beautiful and another set of people oppose such remark. That's the world for you


Personally, I admire and appreciate beauty but I cannot be moved by it. I've grown in understanding to know that it's just physical appearance because there are alot of beautiful people that will disappoint you after you interact with them. Their understanding is terrible, their perspective of life is so rubbish. Many of them struggle in their own personal issues.

I believe there are and have seen beautiful people with good character.

You can have both but I recommend that people stop acting impulsively whenever they see beautiful people.
Instead, they should interact and get to know them better before making decisions. Some beautiful ladies are not worth your time or investment (any kind)

IT'S NOT CHARACTER OVER BEAUTY PER SE, IT'S CHARACTER BEFORE BEAUTY (The right progression).
please do you have a beautiful girl with character for me? I’m in the medical line.

Yes I was deliberate actually. Engaging beauty without character and I knew I'd be fvcked for life, so my MO was that if you're not at least a 7.5/10 in my aesthetics assessment scale I'd have nothing to do with you beyond hi hi... then out of this subset I naturally scanned intensely for character and character flaws. With GOD's help the rest is history.
Hope it helped.
