Dear Pastor,

Sometimes women spend too much time trying to look beautiful and not enough time trying to get educated. Some women often forget about getting an education, because they have the mindset that, once they are beautiful, they will find a man to take care of them.

However, men are now looking for women who can help them if the need arises because, "one hand can't clap". Even though beauty is skin deep, and it sometimes shines from within, it is not something that is achievable by all, except beauty from within.

So I believe the majority of men would prefer beauty over brains because a man can stand by his woman and encourage her to improve herself with an education in the future. No matter how beautiful she is, a good man would stand by her side and show her that he also cares about her well-being and her future.

G.J.

Dear G.J.,

If I understand your argument, you are saying that men would rather have beautiful women and help them to become educated. So it is beauty over brains. I am glad that you do not speak for all men.

Pastor
