Do you think you are Shallow?

[Fightgarr]

It depends on the situation. Do I listen to music in a shallow way? Well lets see, firstly it has to sound good to me. If it sounds good I will like it. If the song has a meaning and a message that I enjoy then I'm likely to like it more. If the song has a message or idea I disagree with I'm likely to like it much less.

I might say I'm shallow romantically on the same level. I am attracted to attractive women as a foremost quality of interest. If I find a woman unattractive I am unlikely to find myself romantically interested in them even if I love their personality. I am much more likely to find myself romantically interested in someone I find physically attractive. Now, that's not to say that I'll still find someone attractive if they're hot but has a terrible personality, just to say that as a primary characteristic, romantically speaking, a person should be attractive.

I'm often confused about the definition of 'shallow' and what makes a person shallow or not.

That creates an unnecessary catch-22. The question hinges on how one defines "being shallow". I define it based on what I perceive to be the average male's prioritization of looks vs. personality (I see most men as a 70/30 split, or perhaps 60/40 if "slut" is part of personality). Thus, for me to be more tilted toward personality makes me less shallow, and thus not shallow. In the same way that I wouldn't call myself stupid for the same reason.

Every time i talk, a little more water drains from the pool ...er puddle

 

[scrambledeggs]

No, i'm not shallow, and I know i'm not shallow. Knowing i'm not shallow doesn't mean I probably am at all...

Well the only reason any of us like Neonbob is because of his avatar. I'm kind of shallow, but I don't know enough people to justify this statement.

Obsessing over your depth of character is another form of vanity.

You sire deserve a cookie.

i think not, but probably act it

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Becoming more than I was. My brother and friend aren't helping much.

 

[Gxas]

I'm not shallow, just extremely picky.

 

[AvsJoe]

I'm shallow and I know it. But at least I'm honest about it.

 

[VeX1le]

i am shallow which is ironic cause shallow people wont date me :/

So where's the real question/topic for discussion?
Seems everyone agrees that we are all shallow to some degree.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

the thing is everyone is shallow in some way shape or form

everyone decides to date someone they find attractive to them, not necessarily to anyone else but whom they decide is attractive to them. so in that respect they are shallow

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Yeah. I'm shallow, but I'm not the kind of shallow that just says: "Ugly...I won't bother getting to know them." The only time that happens is when they're truly repulsive, y'know, like the deformed guy from 300.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Yes. I think we all are to some degree. Everyone will always choose the hot girl over the "ugly" one. I'm not that shallow, I like to think I'm better than most people, my best friend insists that I am not, though I don't believe that any person can ever completely disregard appearances without some thought about it and how it's not as good as the one they saw 10 minutes ago.

 

[Low Key]

Yes I am. My critera for befriending people is ridiculously impossible to meet. That's why I only have a couple close friends. Everyone else is just acquaintances. I don't even remember most peoples' names, like at my job. I've worked their for 3 years and the same vendors come in every week and I couldn't tell you one from the other.

 

[traceur_]

I know I am. I like stuff that looks good, I'm not going to play a game with ultra-shitty graphics or date an ugly girl. I'll only go see movies that look good i.e Micheal Bay movies (explosions, hot girls, hot girls running from explosions).

 

[DoW Lowen]

I would answer that question. But you have no avatar, so that makes you a loser.

But seriously, humans are inadvertently shallow. If you knew nothing of two people and only saw what they looked like, you'd more likely go for the more attractive one. But weirdly enough, we prefer people closer to our self-perceived attractiveness.

 

[ragamuffingirl]

maybe, i'm sure i have been shallow about something, but i dont see myself as a shallow person in general.

Never.

 

[JenXXXJen]

I am very, very shallow. If we had a competition for vainest (sp?) member I'd win by a mile. And I have a hard time with the "It's what's inside what counts" thing, but I'm trying ^^'
