    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

    But "attractive" is a subjective term, people you may find attractive, others might not (and it isn't always about looks either) which is why calling people shallow because they don't see beauty the same way you do is a fairly simple way of looking at it.

    I actually know one person who isn't shallow at all She's goodlooking herself, yet she dates a dude that wears make up and still looks like someone who's face got bashed in. He's the hope of all ugly guys

    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".

    well if you use the definition that liking someone based on looks is shallow, then most males may be genetically shallow.

    Oh yeah, nothing worse than dating a broad that makes you cringe (almost) everytime she opens her mouth.

    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.

    Problem is, I don't have a dating or sex life, never had, so I just like women, they however, don't want anything to do with me.
