I know what you mean, people don't like it when you show your real picture, and others wonder why people have to hide them selves by using different pictures..i don't see why it even matters.

Yes society is very shallow,but concerning the "avatar" thing, well, there wasn't much to work with,these things can never show you a true person's "real self", but if you look closely you can find out a lot about people by what they choose for extras--and of course, a screen name speaks volumes.

Yes i do.
And one should always treat what their teachers teach them as "shallow",too;
for if you dont, the probably is that you will "have-a-feeling"
that something you learned is also shallow,but you wont
know what.
(So i am saying that "shallow-ness"is a property of the
results of bad teaching;and then even No worthwhile
"teaching" either!)

I would not say shallow, but unrealistic. Most people probably look nothing like their avatars.

i kinda look like my avatar, inasmuch as i'm lacking most of my hair, but i'm fatter and not as handsome also. and my wife says i'm somewhat of a horse's butt, however they did not have one of those available as an avatar that i saw or perhaps i'd have used it instead of the good looking fellow with the shiney head.

It's not really "shallow" per se. The avatar is supposed to represent you, or who you want to be, or who you want others to see... so, you are putting that image out there.
That's like calling someone shallow for believing a person who uses racial slurs is racist.

people seem shallow because that is all we care to see. we don't go diving into one's soul or reasoning. We see only the tip of the iceberg and we are judged by it.
I'm sorry but, I ain't going to be "diving" into your inner depths anytime soon.
