Have you ever noticed that an attractive woman becomes unattractive when you find out that she has bad attitude. Have you also noticed some women who aren't attractive but has a good personality becomes attractive? I noticed that with one of my friends. The first time I met her, I didn't find her that attractive. As time passed by, and as I got to know her personality, she became more and more attractive. The reason might be because of her positive attitude and good personality.
According to an article I read in Life magazine entitled "A Reason to Smile", Leslie Zebrowitz, Ph. D., of Brandeis University said that an attractive woman with a displeasing personality does become ugly in time. In a personality test she did with certain objective observers, she found out that men who were judged physically appealing during their youth were most likely to be agreeable and sociable adults. Women on the other hand are very different. Leslie Zebrowitz found out that women who we're sociable when they we're young were considered to be more attractive than those women who were not very sociable during their youth, regardless of their original physical appeal.
So the reason why I'm attracted to my not so attractive friend must be because of her personality. We were already friends since we were kids. She has been my friend for over 14 years. I know that she's really kind and all that but she wasn't really that appealing. Although she wasn't much of a head turner back then, as time passed by, she became more and more attractive. I also noticed with another friend of mine. Actually, were not really that close but she was very attractive. At first she was, but once I got to know her more, her beauty faded away. she wasn't really attractive anymore. I noticed all her physical and personality flaws.
Leslie Zebrowitz said in the article that the way a man looks influences the kind of personality he develops, but the kind of person a woman is influences the kind of appearance she develops. In other words, your personality affects your appeal.
For me beauty isn't really that important. It somewhat is, because I myself wouldn't want to wake up seeing a face that would probably ruin my whole day. But all in all, it doesn't matter whether she's beautiful or not. As long her personality is good, she'll look beautiful.

#9 Facial Symmetry
Full lips, bright eyes, pointed nose, white teeth, hourglass body. These are the things that makes someone very attractive. It is what makes everyone's head turn. A head turner for short. If you have traits, then you have been given the face of an angel. But even though one possesses all the traits mentioned, if it's not placed in the right position, one would look ugly. This is where facial symmetry comes in.
According to a research made by Little and Jones, which was posted at faceresearch.org, which talked about facial symmetry, says that their are two reasons why people are attracted to symmetrical faces. The first would be the Evolutionary Advantage View. The Evolutionary Advantage view states that the reason why people are attracted to symmetrical face is because people who possess such trait are found out to be more healthy than those who does not have a symmetrical face. Facial symmetry indicates how healthy a person is. The more symmetrical your face is, meaning the features of left side of the face is horizontally aligned with the features of the right side of the face, the more healthy you are. If your face is not that symmetrical, it means that you are not that healthy. The next reason is the Perceptual Bias View. The Perceptual Bias view says that people who has a symmetrical face are more attractive because the human visual system can process symmetric stimuli of any kind more easily than it can process asymmetric stimuli.
People would most likely choose a mate who has a symmetrical face because of the two reasons stated awhile ago. If you think about it, healthy and fit people does look more attractive than those who are not. They seem to be a more healthier mate. Their off-springs would probably attain the same characteristics as their parent.
Symmetrical faces are found to more attractive than those who are not due to the fact that people with symmetrical features looks more healthier than those who does not. Bearing this in mind, if one is healthy, the probability of having a healthy offspring is pretty high. That offspring would most likely have the same feature as its parent. Making the offspring and the parent both attractive. This would probably be passed throughout the next generation.

#8 Relationship Chess
Breast implants, nose lift, Botox injection, Face lift, liposuction. These are the things that some women are willing to do in order for them to look beautiful. They would do whatever they can just so that they could easily attract the opposite sex through physical appearance. They would try out possible surgical procedures to make themselves be noticed by men.
In an article I read entitled "Playing Relationship Chess" which was written by Kevin Chappell, he talked about a moment in his life where he heard a scream in a mall. He followed the loud shriek. When he reached the area where the scream came, he ended up at a jewelry store. In that store he saw a girl having her ear pierced. That girl was only around 3 years old. What bothered him was that, while the little girl was screaming, the mother told tried to comfort the daughter and said "Don't you want to look pretty?"
That also bothered me. Do women really need to have their ear pierced just so they would look beautiful? Do women really need to do whatever they can just to look attractive? In my opinion, they don't. Physical beauty will fade away through the years but inner beauty won't. Physical beauty does have a plus when it comes to attraction but if one must only look at the physical attributes of a person, the relationship would most likely be short. Just like one of my friend who only courted a girl because she was beautiful. He didn't look beyond the girls skin. He did not know that the girl, sorry for the term, was a bitch. Their relationship ended up in the dumps.
Chappell said in his blog, "While looking pretty is nice, it can provide a woman with a false sense of security and a man with a false sense of accomplishment. Until both men and women begin to give more attention and more importance to a woman's inner beauty. Both sides will lose."
In order to have a good relationship, both the men and the woman must value each other not only through the looks but also through their character. Both sides must be able to value each others thoughts and opinion. They must be able to work their way out of a problem. Both sides must be able to uplift each other during hard times. Even if one does not look that attractive, if they are able to possess the qualities mentioned. Their relationship would most likely bloom and last longer than expected.
