A Word about the Ideal character of manhood and womanhood. The biblical book of Proverbs says a lot about an Ideal Woman that applies equally to both woman and man {Evolving to Manhood & Womanhood}. The attributes and images of one's appearance are important, but it is more than just your looks. Yes, a man is handsome and a woman is beautiful- yes, you are, but not because of your physical appearance, is more about and because we are made in the image and likeness of God., additionally, due to strong character, great wisdom of the nature of God, an enormity of Godly skills with both empathy and compassion for others.

Finally, both strength and dignity are also amazing achievements due to the results of the reverence for God.

However, it is both prudent and wise to be cognizant of upkeep and appearance of self, but it may be a surprise to note, appearance is not the wherewithal, but more of the attractiveness, err on the side of character maintained that denotes genuine attributes and divine traits, which is both exhibited and portrayed on an ongoing basis.
