Men and women are shallow!!!!
Everyone can be pretty shallow when it comes to meeting people of the opposite sex. No guy will talk to a girl that he is not attracted to and vice versa.
We all say i wont date him becuase he is too short or too hairy, or too ugly. Or we might feel attracted to him and find he is awful in bed and say goodbye. Is this shallow? Or just human nature? or a bit of both. Why can we not look past things? Does a personality not matter enough for us to think that maybe we can work on other things?
What about people who want a partner who looks good on their arm, like an accessory. You need to fit a certain image or criteria! Again is that shallow?
My male friend thinks that women are just as "shallow" as men. What about a man's height, always hear "won't date a guy shorter than me because it makes me feel like the man and weird" yet when dudes say they love nice breasts and a plump ass we get called pigs. Lol
I don't believe in "shallow"; as if going for someone's personality makes you some morally superior individual, these days peoples personalities can be masked and faked so easily. What is morally superior about being with someone who is confident? Confidence can be faked, especially in environments like clubs. This isn't to say everyone is a fake, although I do believe we all act to an extent in social situations. Discuss.

Everyone is platonic to me....so I can accept them as they are, whoever they are...the good and the bad.

Yes a lot of people do look at others that way. What a sad thing that at times that is how we look at things. I try to not judge anyone that way. I know how it makes me feel when I'm judged that way. Guess even as we grow older there is still some peer pressure that we let get to us.

Re: Men and women are shallow!!!!
Since every new moment we live, changes us a tiny bit, in some way...people are always changing, people have moods, people are reacting to stimuli... I just accept the moment for what it is, and who people are in each moment, even though I know, I won't always be given that same consideration by them.

Re: Men and women are shallow!!!!
I go with my first instinct, the first time i speak to someone i know if they are my type of person. It's how someone first approaches me that catches my attention. However, if they look like eminem, i couldn't careless how much of an arse they are!!!

Re: Men and women are shallow!!!!
Unfortunately we all tend to have preconceived notions of what we want from other people rather than allowing a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, or even the same sex to develop without using some artificial standard(s). Part of these standards is a product of our culture and part due to peer pressure and the human need to be accepted by others. I tend to agree with Kareena that these ideas, even though they are not correct, are quite shallow.
