My colleague just showed me an article in one of the female magazines about how matchmaking agencies are investing grooming and etiquette classes on their clients. I could not help bursting out in laughter after reading that. In the first place, must people resort to going to matchmaking agencies just to be hooked up? In the second place, if matchmaking agencies have to send clients for beauty courses just to allow them to find a mate, one wonders if the ladies got hooked up on their (new) looks alone instead of their inner worth.
Those agencies interviewed remarked that in the past, those clients that were considered "gone case" had to be given up. But now they are collaborating with grooming trainers to give these clients a chance. One such client is a lady in her mid-twenties. She joined the agency three years back but never had a date. (Gosh, if she joined a matchmaking agency at her age, then won't someone like me be left on the shelf already?) There was once she went for a gathering organized by the agency and tried talking to a guy, but was rejected as he said she was too ugly. Well if a guy ever say that to me, I will remark that he is not particularly Greek God material in the first place! If he thinks he is so good-looking, why would he need to go to a matchmaking agency to find a date?!
Anyway the particular lady was one of those chosen by the agency to go for grooming and etiquette workshops. She started putting on makeup, changed her hairstyle and dressed up more fashionably. I suppose it really works wonders as within a month, she landed a date! And the guy has been her boyfriend for the past year or so now. She showed him old photos of herself and he could not believe she had changed so much. But he assured her he will still love her even if she looked like what she did. So sweet of him. :-) She got her revenge on the previous guy too. He met her once at a party and actually went up to her first. She rejected him outright by saying the same thing he once said to her. Serves him right!
Do looks really matter to a guy? I have been dumped twice before for girls who were considered more gorgeous. Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? Beauty is actually more than skin deep. If a guy can go beyond a girl's looks, he will realize that she is probably a much more interesting and better person than someone who may only have a pretty face. Ultimately, I feel that if a lady is to go for grooming and etiquette workshops, the main objective is for her own personal development and improvement, not because she wants to land a date.
What is the use of a pretty face? Looks will go sooner or later, be it males or females. Can you still love a person if he / she is no longer good-looking? Can you still stay together if both of you are old and gray and wrinkled? Love goes beyond physical attributes. It is being committed and being with each other through thick and thin.
