Many people claim that they are not shallow... but most of these then prove that they are. A lot of women have told me that they care only about the personality, only to see them rejecting perfectly sane, but ugly, guys.
Heck, I had a lot of female friends with wonderful personalities, but the two women I only felt in love with were really beautiful. I never fell in love for a girl considered "ugly". Am I shallow?
Studies have shown that the tallest and "prettiest" people always get the most jobs, even against ugly people more qualified than them, and even in cases of men hiring men and women hiring women. (thus proving that's not just a sexual thing).
Heck, you need look no further than celebrities. Why do they make millions while others have to slave their lives away for a miserable income?
Is our society really shallow? How shallow?
Are *you* shallow? Why? Why not?

Is it really shallow to want to go out with someone that you are physically attracted to? Being able to sustain passion in a relationship is important.
I don't think that is shallow.
I do believe that we are as a society obsessed with looks and products that make us "cool"
But I also believe that we are deep too. People start off in relationships many times because of looks but will eventually end the relationship if there is no grater connection.
If a person is hired for looks, which does happen a lot, and then is a horrible employee they will get fired.
So we are not that shallow

Don't even ask, but if you have to, you probably already know the answer in your heart.
As shallow as a puddle on the ground after a light rain.
But it's even worse when the people deny it an pretend not to be, but they really are. Hey i confess, i am somewhat, but i don't date based on looks (though i force myself to confess that they do play a role in the selection process), but i won't date a hot slut.

I think every society is quite shallow. Most things are based on appearance. However, I don't think it is really being shallow if you reject someone who you are not attracted to, because it is necesary for you to love every single feature of your significant other, in order for you to love them fully. If you find someone unattractive, don't go out with them. You won't treat them the way they deserve, or the way you would to someone you are attracted to.

it style of feels obvious which you're no longer conversing approximately people who rather know one yet another, yet incredibly random those that are in basic terms considered by capacity of the choice intercourse. At that factor, what standards does a individual ought to base a judgment on different than seems. till they have some type of psychic capacity, they have not have been given any gauge different than seems. I disagree that as quickly as people are starting to be to nicely known one yet another that seems is their in basic terms standards. I do see your factor that it incredibly is complicated to coach what you should furnish in the event that they do no longer supply you a raffle interior the 1st place, yet i ask your self whether you're being somewhat too judgmental approximately what's a organic charm.

We are raised in a society where we judge things by the cover, their clothes, thier looks, thier cars, the amount of money they have. I think we are all shallow. If we weren't they wouldn't sell make-up, padded bra's, hair spray,brand names etc.
As for celebrities, they work very very hard, They start young, in acting classes, vocal lessons, dance lessons etc. Their lives are constantly going, they are told what to do what to wear what to say where to be etc. i think that would be miserable myself.

It is true, but unfortunate. But consider this, would you buy an ugly piece of art, or an ugly car, or an ugly couch? Problably not. The truth is that people prefer to be around things (including other people) that are pleasing to the eye. The better looking piece of art may not hold it's value as well as the ugly one, but we buy it anyway, the better looking car may not be as reliable as the ugly one, but we buy it anyway...the better looking couch may not be as comfortable as the ugly one, but we buy it anyway. That's just how we are. It sucks when people suffer because of it, but chances are that nearly everyone has chosen a better looking thing at the expense of some other quality at some point in their life, even ugly people.

I agree! Society is very, very shallow. I have never had feelings for a girl who wasn't good looking. And, no you are not shallow. You are just like everyone else! And girls are very much like guys in that they want good looking guys, just like guys want good looking girls. It's just instincts, I guess.
