Do you think that beauty matters ? I think that girls ( but not all of them ) are searching for financial wealth , more than everything from a man . Men are searching for lovely women , because they need to be loved . If you have a different opinion, please let me know . That`s my opinion . I mean , in a couple, and in society too , but more in the couple i`m interested to see what`s your answer .

I think women are searching for a understanding, caring, dependable men and men, sorry I have no idea of what they are looking for, maybe a woman that they THINK beautiful. Why beauty is not important? Please don't compare it with something like intelligence or personality, I mean who says that the intelligent girl can't be beautiful? or the all the beauty are always mean? They can achieve all of it, so why not? Physical beauty can make us women confident. Why? Because human beings are attracted to many things about each other, one of which is physical beauty. When they are attracted, they will pay attention, they will listen, will ask for opinion or seek for company... and that all make the one who has physical beauty more confident, more daring, self-assured, courageous ect ect ect. Every woman is already beautiful in her own way, but they can be even more beautiful by taking care of herself.

I loved the last part , they can be more beautiful by taking care of herself . That`s so true . Nowadays all the girls that care of herself are so nice, even if they are not the most beautiful . I belive that we shouldn`t think just about beauty, and we must think of other thing before, but to be honest, first, you see the "exterior" of a woman, and just after a wile you`ll see her on the inside . So, she must have something nice to attract you ... no ? Just a little bit nice, not beautifull .

Hey delkar! I haven't seen you around much. How's it going? I agree with you in a sense..I think A LOT of girls & women are looking for men who will support them financially, possibly men who will buy them things. But I think these chicks are very shallow for doing so. Money has never been part of why any of the relationships I've had failed or succeeded. It's just not that important, although I don't mind if he buys me a gift on my birthday or Christmas. But I know what you mean. You make really good points. Whereas a lot of women are after money and those types of materialistic things, a lot of MEN are after LOOKS and hot bodies and other superficial aspects of a relationship. It's horrible! Why can't we just look for love? Instead of looking for the perfect body, hair, and eyes? Or the fattest wallet? I don't get it.

Hy maezee ! I`m so happy because you felt i`m not around here :P Anyway , i loved what you said , the last part , but nowadays, on money and beauty resumes everything . You said a lot of true things, and for that i realised that you are a wonderful girl . I just hope that you will never change yourself . If there would be just gifts on Christmas and birthdays, it will be so nice , but girls want gifts every day if you can .

okay so here's how Im going to put this: In the book/movie Anne of Green Gables (one of my favourites) Anne poses the question of being beautiful or clever. I always answered clever because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but stupid is unstoppable.

I agree I think if your beautiful you stand a better chance of landing what you want whether it be men or wealth or all of the above. But the smarter you are makes it all the better. Men need to communicate too.

Hi delkar, I think women who seek men solely for their bank account lack self-confidence and are shallow. Since caveman times, women have sought men of status( i don't know how much status a cavemen can have, lol) and who were financially secure to care of her ( I don't mean in a gold-digger way). However, It depends on the kind of woman that you meet and where her values are. Example! I tried the online dating thing and there were two guys that put their income status on their profile in increments of 150,000+. They contacted me but to be honest, although they made a nice living there was no chemistry, and I wasn't attracted to them. So, although beauty isn't everything, a man should at least be able to take care of himself financially, and should have some money to support his partner. But if there is chemistry, a connection, shared values and stability, I think that's what women really crave. The flipside, is that some women who are desperate will seek the Donald Trumps of society and the bank account. Just look what happened to Anna Nicole Smith. Hope this helps!

Dear friend, I do appreciate beauty, it is another gift of god not to all. Moreover I do prefer to be with those who have beauty in heart. May be good humans. On the other side I like girls with beauty. Even our nature have beautiful and worse places, but most people like beautiful places. I do like beautiful girls.

HI DELKAR, I think as many said beauty is in the heart and if the heart is beautiful- the whole world is and everone is. A girl want wealth then it means that she want her future secure and when she think about love then she is ready to work hard to make a beautiful family and to spread love in the family.

Hello, Delkar.:-) Firstly, beauty has nothing to do for men to be loved. But, still, beauty depends upon the eye of the beholder as the old adage says.:-) Who can say what is beautiful or not? We all have different preferences when it comes to beauty. I may look beautiful to my partner but ugly to some.LOL For me, though, it is important that one must possess a certain beauty, not just the one that meets the eye but also the one that satisfies the soul. Beauty from the outside withers as time passes by. we all grow old, wrinkly, etc. But, the beauty of the soul last forever and it reflects in your physical aura and in your relationship not just with your partner but with everybody that surrounds you.:-)

Well its a very interesting discussion. I would go for a man who cares for me alot rather than a wealthy man. If a guy is very handsome and wealthy while he does not care for his wife then its like ...... same as living in hell. Beauty also matters but its not more important than loving with each other. Beauty, wealth comes later for me. I look for the person who is good from heart.

Hi there, I love beauty... I love pampering myself with a lot of things to keep me glowing inside and out. I like to stay beautiful even when I get old, not to just attract people but also to feel good. Even if I love beauty, It doesn't mean beauty is above... for me having brain means a lot of thing as well. In my opinion, balance is more important... you have to be beautiful inside and out at the same time to be brainy or clever. People who knows balancing is more attractive to me and more highly to get a good life. As you can see in our present world, beautiful women who were clever are more to have a better life than those women who are just beautiful or who are just brainy. Well for men, I think men look for women who are both beautiful and brainy for physical beauty attracts them and smart women give them challenges, and I think men like challenges.

yes, i think beauty matters especially for the young girls. i don't know the matters in your country, here in china people pay much attention on one's apparence especially on girls. sometimes the beauty can help you to get a job. for example, if there are two girls applyiing for the same work, and both of them can do this job well. the director will choose the more beautiful one.

well i reckon that beauty don't matter. if your beautiful or your handsome i bet you are pitiful because many might be like you for your physical appearance but not your own personality. i guess that majority of us looks on books by its cover but not on it's content. but i don't generalize people i reckon there are some exceptions on here.

beauty dosen't matter. what matters is a woman's character. you need to find a woman who loves you for who you are and not just for what you have.

I liek pretty girls ,I wouldnt lie about that ,I mean they are easy on the eyes and all of my three girlfreinds so far have been pretty.And all of them are now my ex girlfriends because sometimes the prettier the girls the more selfish and self absorbed they are .Some of my best people I know are not pretty.So in my opinion I would say that beauty doesnt matter it is the quality of the persons heart

Well, I don't think that beauty should matter. Unfortunately, it matters to a lot of people. I, myself, have never been a beauty. My husband thinks so, but I don't. I have always been the smart one in my family. And you know what? It paid off. My cousins are stuck in unhappy marriages and being forced to live off of their husbands because they never went to college or even tried to get jobs. I, on the other hand, am a good mom to my four children, am going to medical school, and don't need to have someone else pay my bills. So, to me, education matters more than beauty.

I believe that their are women as well as men that are searching for wealth and materials. I also believe that their are people out there that are searching for love and companionship. I'm a woman that has found love with my husband, but his money never attracted me to him because he didn't have any! I guess, it depends how old the person is. I met my husband when i was 18, in college and had 0 money. I love him for who he was. On the contrary, I think some older people (not all older folks) who have already established themselves and their careers just want to find others who are financially compatible to them. I guess because they have alot to lose like their earned assets. As for beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder as cliche as it might sound. It does play an important part though, I thought my husband was hot! even though my friends and sisters didn't think so.
