I wouldn’t be wrong if I say we choose a partner mostly based on what we see…in other words, we choose a partner based on superficial things.
There is nothing wrong in settling for a partner that you term attractive, but where it gets wrong is when you set looks as the major criteria in choosing your partner; anyone who does this doesn’t really see the full picture.
I have six reasons why beauty isn’t gold when settling for a relationship partner:
1. YOU COULD BE PRONE TO CHEAT
I don’t believe that there is a ‘most beautiful girl’ in the world or a most handsome; so how far can one really go to look for that beautiful lady or handsome man? If beauty is what majorly attracts you to a person then you would never have enough of it, and this could mean you would end up cheating on your partner in order to satisfy that quest for beauty.
2. LOOKS DON’T GUARANTEE COMPATIBILITY
Compatibility is essential for a relationship to be successful, but the fact that a person is absolutely good-looking doesn’t mean that you would be absolutely compatible with that person. Most people who indulge in such relationships or marriage rarely have a success story to tell.
3. YOU COULD BE FORCED TO GO AGAINST ALL ODDS TO GET THAT PARTNER
This is mostly common in men, but not only men; women also go over the odds to get a man that they deem good-looking. When this happens, you could let yourself down in the process, and your value might not be really felt by that partner. When beauty strikes a person to go over the odds to get a partner, you might get that partner, but your value might never be worth it…you could probably get used.
