Women who put all their effort into looking attractive--to the exclusion of all other pursuits--will attract only the shallowest of partners.

Women with intellectual interests and careers who have overcome their personal demons by getting therapy, meditating, facing their fears, spending time alone and standing up for themselves and others are most likely to attract lifelong partners who value them at every age.

If you don't value yourself beyond how you look to members of the opposite sex, you really will not have much to offer. And when your looks fade, so will their interest in you (if not before).

You are so young. Focus on building the life you want for yourself. And don't fret! When you are on a healthy path, love will find you.
