This is so important. Thank you for writing it.

Physical beauty, i.e. youthful perfection of face and body, is not only fleeting but also frequently a source of misery, both for its possessors and for the shallow men who can't look past it for the person in that pretty package.

A relationship is a conversation, which will never last without a meeting of our minds. Even as a young man, I was never drawn to beauty without intelligence.
