Would it be a first impression or over time? Sometimes kasi, parents always have something to say about the suitor/bf just because of their looks and appearance, the car he drives, social status, his relatives or connections etc.... but sometimes, over time as they get to know the person, minor flaws will be overlooked. Also, this holds true in a marriage- you will always marry into the family. My brother married a pretty girl, she came from a good family who are religious. The brothers are well off & employed in good companies. My parents liked her when they met her. Sounds good? Unfortunately, may topak si girl. Very reserved & introverted. A few years ago, my bro found out she had a bf in the US. Kaya pala frequently travels. Di lang yun, kinaliwa rin yung bf kaya tatlo sila. You think you will know a person by looks alone?
