^beauty is subjective.

not everyone places value on the same things.

most men do not think like women. That's why they're men and not women.

Okay and that why men keep chasing beautiful women and putting up with them until they are tired of them.

Mrs, Chima:

Comprehension is important. Let me repeat.  An honest man will tell you that he prefer a beautiful woman over an ugly woman with perfect manners until it becomes unbearable that he will get another woman (beautiful woman) to replace the first one. 

I mention nothing about replacing because of looks but whatever it is that unbearable to him. 
Mrs Chima, sorry i got it twisted earlier on. But you don't have to sound like you know all.

I cannot really comment on this from a man's point of view - because men definitely think different from women as I am finding out ALL THE TIME.

But I can say from a woman's point of view - that I want a man who knows how to act, who has etiquette - his looks come second to that. But I also know that looks are definitely subjective.

What turns me on in a man FIRST is his behavior, his views and his voice and how he smells.

I have seen some men that would be considered "not so attractive" by others - and he was a HUGE turn on to me. Also - as I am starting to get older - I am noticing that what I thought was attractive when I was in my teens and early 20s - now I don't value as attractive anymore.

I just love very masculine, deep voice, serious acting men. I am not turned on by men with high voices unless they sing in a very high voice - I like to hear that on a song but I don't want to sleep with it or date it.

To add to the thread

I have noticed that men seem to like women who have good etiquette for wives

As a girlfriend - they seem to love women who look a certain way but that doesn't necessarily mean that she will be taken as their wife - especially if she doesn't know how to act.

yeah, shy gurl, u're on point dear. I perfectly understand u. Okay, lemme rephrase d question so that you can speak your mind from a lady's perspective. A handsome but arrogant man and an ugly but down-to-earth man, which would u prefer?

Re: A Beautiful Lady Devoid Of Manners And An Ugly One With Perfect Manners? Which Would U Prefer? by ShyOne(f): 1:50am On Sep 18, 2011
I would take the handsome arrogant man.

The ugly down to earth man might be too down to earth for me.

The handsome, arrogant guy can be revised enough to appreciate me and withhold much of his arrogance for the sake of the relationship.

Bottom line is that if you are not "Handsome to me" - there will be NO RELATIONSHIP.

I have to be honest with myself - can I roll over every morning and open my eyes to look at him - alot of times a healthy amount of "vanity" - can make those men rid themselves of bad breath in the morning before trying to talk their bad odor in your face.

I dated a "down to earth man before" - he was too "down to earth for me" - passing horrible gas in my presence, no etiquette after we were together for a while - he relaxed too much around me - would yell at me in front of others - too relaxed, too down to earth always ready to "Tell it like it is"

Well NOW his brash, abrupt - down to earth backside "ISN'T" - HE NO LONGER EXISTS IN MY WORLD. Thank God. Shackles off my feet I can dance.

beauty doesnt keep a man.

I agreed with you when you said men do not think like women and that is why men change women when they have realized there is nothing else beside beauty.

You are right beauty doesn't keep a man. Ask Halle Berry.

I respectfully disagree. You can't change most people, especially men. If he changes his behaviors for the sake of the relationship, then it will only be for the short term; once you are in his nest, he'll be back to his arrogant ways. Never assume a man will honestly change. Never.

@topic
I'll proudly choose the former. To hell with perfect manners.

You got it wrong this.
The world most wise man that ever lived, and who coincidentally had dealt with women more than any man you can think of said and i quote '' BEAUTY IS NOTHING, CHARACTER IS THE MOST NEEDED (book of Proverbs 31 vs 30). Marrying a woman b'cos of beauty only last for the first 6 months of marriage after wards the beauty will fade and what is left is character. that's why majority of couples got divorced most of the time, 6 months after marriage.

So it is good to go for a seemingly Ugly girls with genuine charcter who is band to make you happy all your life than going for a beautiful beast who gives nothing but sorrow.
You cant change a man/woman character unless he/she is ready for change herself. STOP LIVING IN THE WORLD OF FANTASY!

The problem with humans is that we allow the world o dictate to us. We want people to see our wives ad say whaooo. irrespective os whether we are happy with him/her.

I WILL ENJOIN EVERYONE (Muslims and Christians alike) TO READ PROVERB CHAPTER 30 FROM VERSE 10 THROUGH 31. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF SENSE IN IT.

There is nobody that has a perfect character or perfect manners, at the least provocation or misunderstanding, anybody can become a beast, that is the truth. We are only living by the grace of God. Good manner could be deceitful, beauty is even the worst,infact,it is not good for a woman to be too beautiful,it could be problematic,if it is not properly handled or controlled. However, a woman that tremble, whenever she hears the commandment of Lord, is a jewel of inestimable value. Proverb 31: 10-end. If you read all these above scriptures,then you will need to have a rethink on the person you want to marry. God bless you. God2man. 31: 10-end.

God forbid, God forbid, God forbid me Joe to marry an ugly woman, what am i gonna tell my children for God's sake if they should come of age and discover i'm the source of thier pain of being classified unattractive.
Why should i consider marrying an ugly lady knowing fully well it's effect on my unborn children, i cant even immagine waking up every morning and the first person i would set my eyes on is an ugly woman laying on my bed, that alone would spoil my mood and eventually spoil my whole day (That meant i might just have to spend the rest of my life unhappy)
I'd rather remain single than marry or even date an ugly gurl,
So help me God!

This is a lot like judging a book by its covers. sad
It doesn't matter what the person looks like, green, red, pink, ugly with sexy lips, beautiful with lots of pimples etc
Its the individual personality that counts. undecided
Like the proverbial book, try reading its contents, you would be very much surprise by what you find. shocked
That goes for both gender. undecided

I will choose a beautiful ill-mannered lady anyday over an ugly duckling who has manners. You can at least mold the beautiful lady into a well-mannered lady, but you cannot mold that ugly-duckling into beautiful lady. Besides, what guarantees that the ugly lady will not change her manners once you get married. With a beautiful lady, at least you have some eye candy to look at, and you don't have to pop viagra to get excited when it is time to get to business. With an ugly lady, you will probably have to take an overdose of viagra or think about a beautiful lady just to get your "Uncle John" to stand at attention.


Ugly women spoil your mood, bring you bad luck, and for me it is not just worth the stress. That is why so many Nigerian men who marry all these ugly Naija chicks because they cook efo riro and jollof rice cheat at an unreasonable rate, as they are out there looking for a beautiful woman with whom to have a good time. If you have a beautiful woman at home, you don't have to be constantly in the streets. All my friends who married ugly girls are always at nightclubs looking for a fine akata chick; just all the ones who married beautiful women always want to stay at home, claiming there is nothing out there in the streets. I will die a bachelor than marry an ugly woman. God forbid bad thing.
