There has been a common belief floating around among people who start making out statistics how likely a pretty-faced suitor get a nod from a lady he courted. It assumes that a handsome guy has 95% success/failure courtship rate whereas an odd-looking guy has 5% but he can still make it up by his approach and style of courting (commonly called as diskarte).
Facial profile has been one of the foremost highly regarded physical assets of an individual. Even though when people starts with their career lives the shift of preference will be on job security and financial stability, the mere assets does not easily dies down. For example, if two men work for the same field and commands almost the same level of income, the value of those who has the better looks still adds up provided they all have basically the same in terms of assertiveness.
This preference for a pretty face permeates well even for people looking for more serious relationship that would lead into marriage. It was told that one of the reasons why men prefer pretty ladies is because “a character can be changed but the face won’t change”.
However, for some people of younger age, those who possess material things have better edge than those with pretty faces. Take for instance those who have the wheels or simply a car or any motorized vehicle, this sort of possession give so much plus factor in favour of the suitor.
Courtship can also take many forms and on the ladies side, they may start asking their friends how to tell if the gent asking their hearts is true to his intents. In many cases, it is often suggested that the way to tell if a young suitor has good motive is when he is shaking a bit at the time he starts delivering his first few statements in front of a lady.
Moreover cultural inhibitions like for example the manner of saying straight is sometimes discourage during the initial stage of courtship. Thus saying “I love you” is not preferred words from male suitors when they’re at the point to tell the lady their feelings and they opt instead for less ‘cheesy’ like ‘may gusto‘.
And tradition has started to wane in recent times giving more freedom to individuals. This is a far-cry from the practice few decades ago where in some places, people considered it a grieve insult if a lady would not face the house visitor even if she didn’t like the person — by his looks or attributes — or uncomfortable talking to the prospective suitor.
