This is quite an interesting topic folks, and I was interested in getting you all's take on this. I was in a conversation with my cousin over the topic of choosing a mate who could become a potential wife and he said to me, "You know bro, based on what I seem to say, many good looking guys end up with average women or not so-good looking women because they tend to make better wives, whereas a majority of those who are often perceived by themselves and others as being in the 'hot' category often tend to bring in a whole lot of drama and fire in the home."
That was quite an interesting perspective that I hadn't really considered. Except perhaps for the world of celebrities, etc. where two individuals with star power and a balance in terms of looks could hook up, what do you all think about how it really happens in the real world? I remember very many years ago, a lot of people tended to criticize Pauletta Pearson, Denzel Washington's wife, judging that they didn't think she was good looking enough for him. Yet he knows what it is that he finds in her, hence I don't think it's fair for people to judge others to that extent.
So my question to you guys is: what would you really prefer to do? Settle with and get married to a woman who is hot and very physically attractive even if her pride, ego and attitude are unbearable and whom you can parade around to friends and acquaintances like a trophy...or settle with an average looking woman whom you get along with better and who is more longterm relationship/marriage material?
We all normally have a preference for hot women and so do I. But as you get older and hit your thirties for instance and consider certain experiences you've had, good conduct, humility and personality equally begin to count as opposed to merely physical attractiveness. I have rarely met a so-called hot/very physicaly attractive woman who is down to earth, level headed and humble. Most of the time there's often an excessive amount of pride and drama and conflict involved.
