As an imperfect human beings. We can't always have the best in life. Indeed, it's so easy to choose character over beauty. But if you are in a situation being a person with good character. You have plenty of friends and many people adored your character but if at the of 30 you're still single because you appearance is really unlovable. Will you not choose beauty over character?

What are surgeries for? Some people don't care about their appearance. If they have the money, they undergo some surgeries. Lovable character still counts. Some people don't care about how we look, they care about our character. Happy mylotting.

it is a catch 22, rather have both but it seems they rarely come , what I would prefer is character for the sole reason I will leave a lasting impression in people all over. beauty will feel nice to me and others but that one fades. character remains and at 30, you are bound to meet someone who knows the difference and it won't matter much then. all the beauties will come to you for the sole reason that you have what no one can take.

Hi kassych,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts about this. I also believe that beauty will fade away and character will always remain. Anyway, man will only look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart and that is the most important thing in this world..

If you have both you are very lucky but we cannot considered all are perfect in this world. If happen you obtain only one and that is lovable character, don't worry. Time will come you will find a person that they don't mind your appearance. For me, face is not really important as long as she own a very good character.

I believe that beauty is the eyes of the beholder.
There are people who sees the beauty within rather than the outer look.
I understand that having a pretty face is a plus factor and always a great deal for many others.
I have few friends who are in their 30's and still single.
They are not unlovable- but they are practical ones.
They're not rushing to have partners because they want to enjoy being single/free and grow more with their career.

for me having good character is a beauty already. in fact it is a true beauty that lies within if we have it... then it will eventually manifest outwardly...

Obviously I will choose beauty over character even before that and will not wait till I become 30 to find out that I am still single and the reason being-I am not that attractive.How worse can it be ?With so much of beauty creams and make up kits sitting in the market,is it not easy to transfer a ugly face to a gorgeous one?So why would I stop myself from transforming into a attractive person.This way I can stop myself from being a loner though I am a man of virtues.

I don;t think you could choose between the two...because when it comes to love that person must have something that would attract you. so you can't say you would choose exclusively character because a person like that, who has a beautiful character would make the perfect candidate for the status of best friend. I know it's said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I"m not saying that person has to be miss/mister univers. but it simply has to have something that would attract you, that would get you atention and would make you consider him more than a friend
now when it comes to beauty..what use would it have the fact that the person next to me looks fabulous if he treats me like sh**.
so in my opinion it has to be a little bit of both.
we're not perfect but love is what makes us like this in the eyes of the person that loves us...and when I say perfect, I mean perfect from any point of view

Beauty over character? I must prefer character for it is never ending if you wanted to. Beauty will pass over the years. Well it is somewhat true that the looks is seen first in liking a person but if that particular person, lets say, is pretty but with a bad character or attitude, the attraction will fade. For me, yes, the face is judged but what matters most is the content of the heart.
