i agree with QURIUS n BOSS .......
their r a lot of factors involved while searching for a bride.....
right now we r looking for a girl for my brother in law ......but everyone in our family knows we don't go for looks.......yes we do consider it but its not a priority .....n to me its the manners n upbringing kinda stuff which contributes in ur looks too..........
n believe me or not we don't go to visit everyother one coz we r on a "mission" we just gather information n if we find suitable then just check it .....like u say if she is a professional then meet her on work etc. without letting her know that she should wait for that painful selection /rejection..........
plus i know myself i was chosen not for my looks ..........partly coz of my own reputation n partly coz of my family n parents n all......wy husband first saw my pic after engagement ......so.......
but as i told u earlier .....now we r looking for a girl ......but we really feel .....LARKION KA QAHAT.......!!!!....sigh
