How shallow can people get?

[Ronin]

People are shallow it's just how it is. That's why fat people end up with other fat people or ugly people. While hot people end up with other hot people. It's human nature to want the best "mate" society is following this pattern.

Shallow is a negative word, isn't it? English isn't my mother-tongue and I never know if I don't actually misunderstand words.

I am under the assumption that calling someone shallow is an insult.

That's why I don't get it, that the idea seems to be that everyone is shallow. How does that work out? Can you even call it shallow, just because people like some people more than others?
I assumed shallow means, that you neglect a person without proper reason.

Most of the time there are reasons enough. Just because we usually don't know them doesn't make them invalid.

This thread sounds childish to me. I am not saying that I am "a better person" or a great judge on "how to live life right", but the concept that everyone is shallow feels straight out non sensual to me.
If I am not misunderstanding things, that is.

It is an insult it means you judge someone before you get to know them. For animals this is ok but since humans are " self aware" and like to relate to one another it's seen as less acceptable. Let's be honest no one wants to be the ugly one that no one else wants most people want a mate. This is why being shallow is seen as a bad thing.
