How do you guys judge solely on looks
As if that was all it took?
You have to love someone for who they are
A good sense of humor takes you far
Girls are more than just pretty faces
We get flirted with when we go places
but we are so much more than looks indeed
We are warm and caring, we're what a man needs
Yes, there are women who are un-faithful
That's no reason to give us good ones that label
Some men mistreat their women
like useless dogs under a table
Hopefully, you love us for more than just our face
We're smart enough not to let our brains go to waste
So looks-obsessed men please rethink your priorities
Every little thing shouldnt get you jealous
Besides being Hot, is there any other compliment
that you could tell us?
Let us know that our insides really do show
There has to be more than physical attratction
for love to grow....

( this isnt directed towards ALL men..just the ones
who go for girls based only on their looks..
you conceited guys out there know who you are )

Tell it like it is, Rose Petal. Beauty is nice but it doesn't hold a candle to substance....a man wants a woman he can feel proud to stand with...

Fortunately for you....you have both

Great and true poem RosePetal. It's a shame that some men treat women like a prize statue. Thanks for the read.

A man shouldn't have to live very long to learn that beauty really is only skin deep.  If looks is all there is many of us are in trouble men included.  A painful reminder worth making.

If you are dating men that only go for looks you are dating the wrong men...looks might get me interested but not for long if it's not a complete package...James

It takes time for them to grow up!  Quite clever, this, and from someone who has looks AND wit!  Well done!

Alan: Glad you liked it. I love your poetry as well. Thanks for reading and replying, it is greatly appreciated.

Balladeer: Awwww THANK YOU for the compliments sweet Balladeer : ) Unfortunately though I am way too young for you, hehehe. *wink*

Domzi: Yeah, it surely is a shame that some men treat women like their prize statue. Thank you for reading, and I hope you find some good guys over there in NY!

Larry C: You are 100% right. You have to see
what lies beneath the surface to find true beauty. Thank you dear

James: Hey, how are u doing? I don't go for men based on looks. I try to get to know their personality and it if's good then it makes them appear cuter on the outside : )

Sunshine:  You brightened up my day today : )
Thank You. I was always told that women mature quicker than men! Thank You!

Seymour Tabin: Very sweet of you to say about me! Thank you my dear friend. ((hugs))

How much I agree.  Here is a little something I wrote and you won't see anything physical in it  

Love is
~*~
One soul, two bodies
hearts beating as one, my love,
for eternity
