Are you shallow?

Question

How so, how not so?

Answer 1

yes, I swallow...

oops, misread THAT question...

Answer 2

I would certainly not consider myself a shallow person. Nor do I believe that anyone who knows me call me that. They might call me a lot of other names but not shallow. Ha! I like to share with others and try to put their needs before my own. But at the same time I do not hold my thoughts or feelings inside and will tell people exactly what I think. Sometimes they don't want to hear what I think at the time but usually after some thought realize that I am only being honest with them.

Answer 3

I don't think I'm shallow but I do have standards and they may be high...
there's a difference in having standards and being shallow...
to me, being shallow is dating people on their looks and they maybe even better looking than yourself. Being shallow also means not giving other people that aren't "physically gifted" any of your time or day so you act pretty much a snob just because they're not good looking.
I for one, have standards. I think there should at least be some kind of physical attraction and spark for a relationship to happen. But I would like to get to know someone more before dating him so I would know his personality and qualities and other things that would make him "boyfriend material"...yet I haven't found a boyfriend because I am picky...maybe it's because I want to find someone who is worth my time...I'm mean that by saying I'm not gonna date someone just because he asked me, and I'm not gonna date him just because I think he's cute....there has to be something more to it....

Answer 4

I might be. I'm not sure. No one has told me I am. I do have my standards. This makes me wonder what makes a person shallow. How far is too far? Most people will not give ugly people the time of day. If your not physically attracted to someone than it's just not going to work. I've tried dating someone based on their personality. That part was nice, but I couldn't get physical with the person.

Answer 5

I would say any amount of self interest could be construed as shallow in the big picture.

I would say I was reasonably shallow in that I think it important to maintain hygiene, a neat appearance, with well maintained (ironed, clean) clothes. However, I would never place more value on my clothes and hygiene as I would another human beings feelings, and or well being.

I hope that is what you were after.

Answer 6

Sometimes. But I have a deep side as well. I can be shallow about wanting to look good. Nice clothes, hair, nails, designer bags, cute shoes etc.

But I don't obsess about it. I obsess about spirituality and studying various belief systems a lot more than material goods. Doesn't mean I don't want them though!

Answer 7

Depends, if your asking if I ever dated a Fat Chick then I'd say no, I'm shallow. However, I'm one of the most caring, giving individuals and I don't judge people without meeting them. While this sounds contridictory, I'm just not ATTRACTED to someone who weighs in at 250+ LBS.

Answer 8

yeah- but not conventional shallow like make up and nailpolish. I have this thing where I can't tolerate stupid people. Superficial people get my back up a bit too. I become over sarcastic and quite mean - but generally only to people who don't notice that I'm doing it.

I'm the first to admit I'm not the nicest person...but I have kickass taste in books, music and movies ;)

Answer 9

It depends on who I'm around. If I want people to leave me alone I can be very cold and shallow. When I'm around friendly and people I love being around I'm very extroverted and friendly as well.

All in all, I'm not shallow.

Answer 10

I'm pretty open minded about most things. I am shallow on my belief in Jesus. There is no other way.

Answer 11

Yes, been accused of that often but I am also a bit of a fibber. So, you be the judge, Am I shallow or a liar? Hmmmmmmm...deep huh?
