Inner beauty is typically the only beauty that LASTS. But the problem is that many boys are looking primarily for the outer beauty at first meeting, so they don’t give themselves the opportunity to recognize the inner beauty. This is oen reason among many, that I oppose dates being made through the shadchan, as opposed to the boy and girl talking on the phone or (dare I say it????) on-line and setting up a date themselves. Many a fellow has been attracted to a girl’s personality before ever meeting her in person. And if he is already in a positive mindset about her warmth, her humor, her intelligence, he may be less preoccupied with her looks when they meet, or more predisposed to liking those looks.
