Description

beautiful: having beauty; possessing qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind: (in this case, physical beauty)

"go after": to exert effort to achieve (gain a job, or gain a partner in life)

career: an occupation/profession undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress.

Preferable: Would be more beneficial than negatives, both sides considered.

Assume the woman is heterosexual. Con cannot win by saying "neither way is good", it is either one or the other.

Reason:

Okay... this one was weird.

Pro opens nicely; however, con easily refutes. In the following rounds, pro says con said things con did not say. I don't think that is considered a proper refutation. Either way, Con either says he did not say it (true) or properly refutes it. I also feel like Con better fufilled his BoP.

Tie for souces; both used them.

Grammar and conduct was also fine for both.
