Moq: Well said, great post. Also, since you brought it up: I find it ironic that many who bash boys for being too into a girl’s size/looks will have nothing to say of the common practice of asking a boy’s height. Shouldn’t they be equally distasteful?

“I think children need to hear their fathers tell their mothers that they are beautiful. Fathers need to say it out loud. They need to say to their wives and to their children “look how beautiful imah is” even when she is not dressed up for a chasunah, even when she is not wearing make-up, even when she is not looking her best.”
I don’t know, that sort of establishes attractiveness as something important in a spouse. Probably better to complement her on her middos.
Health: Touche. I should’ve said “some of us may be too into looks, money, etc.”
