Here some old advice from Jimmy Soul: “If you wanna be happy
all of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife.”
This works for some, not for others.
My wife is hot as an Alabama August. 13 years and more in love today than the day we married.
I married a 5 who was kind, faithful and loved children even more than the act of conceiving them. She still has skin like a 30 year old, silky hair like a 20 year old and is at least an 8 now. Best of all, we have three wonderful daughter who've given us four beautiful grandchildren (2 of each), so far.
What you look like up to age 30 is mostly due to the luck of your gene pool. What you look like after 30 is mostly due to how you live your life.
But what makes a pretty woman happy?
Speaking for myself (blush):
Knowledge, that old-fashioned concept. I think many other FReepers are knowledge freaks too.
