Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think "average" girls are hotter than "hot" girls. If that makes sense.
Blame the media, to be honest, everybody expects a girl to portray a striking resemblance to Megan Fox, or Angelina Jolie, or if you're a bit younger, Selena Gomez. It's a real big shame that the majority of this world wants a girl like Kim or something. I prefer my women just average, with the best personality, the ones that can relate to me, not the one that is packing DD's and has an amazing ***, shit's just extras if she has it. Actually breasts are pretty unattractive past C's. But now I am rambling.
Funny thing is, it's not just the guys but most of the girls too. I mean, every guy wants to look like they're a movie star and every girl wants to look like they're a super model. (By every I just mean a lot, not exactly 100%). There's just the idea of looks in society and yes it is the media's fault.
Everybody on the planet is shallow. As humans we naturally have preconceived preferences to who we are attracted to, who we keep as friends, etc.
Society also plays a role in this, but I think saying "some people are shallow" is bit of a cop out.
By shallow I mean looks alone. No actions or ideals just looks. Idk I guess I'm just disguested at the idea of people needing to look attractive or wanting someone solely based on looks
The following are the kind of girls I am attracted to, the ones who are real girl-next-door types, there are a few others, but these are my top two:

Its because its easy to look at a person and dismiss them.
First judgments are first judgments. Anyone who says they don't walk down the street approving of person A and disapproving of person B immediately after seeing them is a dirty liar.
Now, how FAR you take that initial reaction to someones appearance is what makes you a shallow person or not.
Everyone makes first impressions and judges books by their covers. If not, we'd constantly be walking around trying to be best friends with every single person. Odds are, if a person has a similar style to yours, you're going to be more compatible than a person with a style that is the polar opposite.
Sure its not ALWAYS true, but if we're being realistic, most of the time it is.
^this.
Guys are just shallow by genetics. It's a fact of life. I'm sure you can train yourself out of it, but its genetics and nature to see physical appearance first. Where still animals, and we still have basic reproductive instincts that you may not be aware of, that are always at play whether you think they are or not.
So what your saying is if you, personally, find a girl physically repulsive, but personality wise amazing, you'll still **** her?
There's some girls I don't find attractive at all, but some guys soil their pants at the sight of them. Sure, society tells you what you SHOULD find attractive, but its not always the case.
Like Cy-kill up there. I find that girl not attractive at all. Yet he does. Finding people unattractive doesn't mean someone is shallow. I'm not even sure if shallow exist. I think its just a word people made up to make themselves feel better, because 100% of people wont date 100% of the people. Sex is an integral part of relationships and if your not physically attracted to your partner that will make sexy time extremely difficult for you.
Even if someone bases a partner SOLELY on appearance, that's just their criteria. Find someone else if you can't accept that. There's someone who doesn't, go find them.
To add to my previous post, I initially grew up in the country, so that is why I like the plain jane (aka girl-next-door aka country girl) look, but above all, I like women with a brain, regardless of how they actually look!
The meaning of shallow lies in the deviation from the norm.
No one is "genetically shallow".
Agreed. Its all about preference. Like I know a few guys who like girls that are...larger than normal. Myself, I dont mind average looking in my sense, but honestly, I guess Im more into a girls body. Call that shallow or however you want to call it, but brains and a nice body I like.
70% of those "looks" are questions regarding her health and her mental ability to look after it.
That's not a question of shallowness.
Also:
Humans act like birds. The female does pick the mate she prefers. (There are tons of reasons for that)
Guys aren't shallow and guys who think they are picky are actually delusional concerning what their subconscious would make them settle for.
Any guy will settle for any girl as long as she is appearing healthy and fertile.
That's why it's almost impossible to turn a guy of by showing him a naked chick and that's why naked chicks are 10 times more effective in ads than naked dudes.
Guys have no standards whatsoever you can call shallow.
I don't know what all of you are even talking about...
Im not sure what your talking about either....
no standards? so what your saying is if you have a vagina you should have like 1000 dicks ready at any point? Sure the women ultimately gets to choose, but not every guy will say yes to any girl that says "I suppose I'll choose you." I cant even follow your logic on this one.
Well im not the type of guy to go by looks tbh....i look at the persons personality first but looks are a plus....it wouldn't make a relationship tho. You wouldn't get anywhere if u have standards are only looks unless ur a player or just want to have sex with that person. I mean i did stuff with 4 chicks and 2 of them were skinny and the other to were semi big but all of them i actually liked something about them espically the bigger chicks, even tho my friends always gave me shit about it. One of my best friends is EXTREMELY picky its not even funny.....he hasnt even done anything or even had a gf and he's picker then shit, the kid thinks he can get any girl he wants but in reality he cant cuz his standard is looks. That's a big flaw with us guys.....just don't judge a book by its cover
But im not saying i havent been shallow to a girl before cuz i know i have....ive blown off tons of chicks cuz of there looks. But it doesnt matter now sense i have a gf and im gonna settle down with her
Shallower than the shallow end at your local pool.
i can be very shallow, i do not even want to talk to ugly people. but both guys and girls are shallow too.

Was saying people are seriously prejudiced than anything else. Too look at someone and simply discard them. I'm terrible at explaining things .... (I mean to judge a book by its cover).
