From birth to age 18 a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35 she needs good looks. From 35 to 55 she needs a good personality. From 55 on, she needs good cash.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you want to stay young-looking, pick your parents very carefully.
There is no question in the world that educating a girl is good for her country and good for her. The challenge is, is it good for her parents who are living in extreme poverty, who need the girl's help to take care of getting firewood, water, taking care of young children?
People think they have to be ambitious. But at a certain age, all you want is to be around nice, decent people.
I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.
I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
If she has a good, strong, reliable father image, which is hard to find these days, that will be her image of men, probably for the rest of her life. She'll look for a husband who embodies those qualities.
In my experience, there is a very good reason why a good-looking young woman of around 20 is willing to go out with a man over 15 years her senior - she's nuts.
In order to be rated as good as a good man in the field of her earnings, she must show herself better than he. She must be more steady, or more trustworthy, or more skilled, or more cheap in order to have the same chance of employment.
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Good looks are not something you earn. But as you get older, how you look is a reflection of the life you've led.
