Men are less shallow, deep down we all know this, and yet we don't get any credit for

[danmorisson]

All we get is fantasy Internet lies like "I see slim models dating fat guys all the time"

 

Guys care less about looks! Heck a guy will bang you just because you are a woman!

Really? And this is supposed to be seen as 'less shallow'? The fact that a man will bone me as long as I have sufficient female plumbing, rather than actually looking to see if I have a brain that isn't equivalent to oatmeal?

 

Lucky me.

 

Willing to bang almost anything/anyone does not = less shallow.

[OnyxSnowfall]

Thieves --- yes, you are supposed to be impressed.

 

Many guys will bang ANYTHING remotely akin to a hole. The ones that will just bang any female have standards at least.

 

Everything's relative, you know.

 

(In all seriousness, there are many forms of shallowness...).

Yes it does! We were engineered to seek less things in a woman

 

Edit: Less things in the opposite sex I should say. But we don't get any credit for it

Slim models date fat guys? Hmmm never heard of that. Yes, I agree most guys will stick their dicks in anything.

[AHardDaysNight]

Everyone is shallow, to some extent. Some are just better at hiding it than others.

Very, very true

I don't know about that but men are not as shallow as people think we are.

No, all your examples proves is that men look for less when it comes to sex. Actual relationships, well she better be damn perfect.

 

But seriously, you want credit for men that they're willing to have sex with pretty much anything?? That's not "less shallow," that's "no standards."

[danmorisson]

Men were engineered to seek sex. No complications. But women seem to have a problem admitting that they were engineered to seek good genes. We're not that much different from animals btw.

We aren't different?

 

We are animals just with highly evolved brains.

Maybe we don't get any credit for it because

 

- the people (women) who would presumably give the credit, are shallow

- we live in a man-hating society

We live in a society where women are made out to better at everything. I'm not hating on women -- I just hate how most people hide the truth to make us to be equal (or pervingly make women out to be better most of the time) when we are in fact very different

[ChessPieceFace]

You still have some control. Stand up for yourself. I just unfriended someone on Facebook for their man-hating comment, and messaged them why. If men stopped accepting it, it wouldn't happen even close to as much as now.

When it comes to being shallow the sexes are the same. One female poster here who's name I forget talked about how she dated a really obese guy who didn't shower for weeks at a time, and he got another girlfriend after her. There is another girl on my facebook who's slim and cute and dating a guy who has to be at least 350 pounds, whenever they post a romantic picture it makes me want to throw up but hey it works for her.

 

Ever see harvey weinstein's girlfriend?

I do think men are capable of great emotional and intellectual depth and of deep, deep introspection --- in general, I have found men to be far less superficial than women.

 

UNLESS they are around other men / peers... then you can literally feel their IQ / intelligence TAKE LEAVE. WHOOOSH. (I have noticed it among men up into their 60's).

 

It's a strange phenomena.

 

Of course, there's always exceptions.

 

I've met some extremely simple men whom, when observed and probed over-time, just really had barely any depth to them... and I've encountered some amazingly deep and wonderful women (one in particular I mistook for being a high-maintenance spoiled girly girl - she does have those qualities, but there's a lot more and some even have their place considering).

 

Nonetheless, I've found that both genders are usually about "image" and "appearance" (not even speaking visually as that's already obvious)... and there's more or less to them than want they want others to perceive... it's so rare to find adults who are true to themselves and who wear their hearts on their sleeves.

 

A lot of shallowness is contrived as some kind of armor...

 

A lot of people are uncomfortable with raw feelings and thoughts... at the bottom of most of it, people generally just want to be accepted and loved.

 

They learn ways to extract (even if illusions of) those things, and even if they are terrible ones...

 

Most "men" that tout about "hotties" constantly are generally are just adhering to some outdated peer mechanism they developed when they were younger. Often times, on the "inside", they are not at all like how they seem to think they need to appear.

 

Of course, I've met some genuinely chauvinistic, superficial men too There's probably something behind that too, but it's not very interesting lol (for me at least).

EVERYONE is different, if even only a mote / shade of them is what separates them from someone else

That is quite a frequent occurrence, but why do you think that is strange?

 

It is significantly less strange than what happens when you put a group of women together.

 

Now that is not only strange, but a lot more insidious.

That's not something you see very often. Usually the other way around. women like her are rare. Maybe he's good-looking and was thin when they first dated?

[Hot Chick]

Because I am educated in a professional career, I meet the kind of men who will not just bang anything that moves because it is female. The men I am accustomed to fraternizing with and dating are the kind that are looking for intelligence, class, intriguing personality, etc. They aren't stupid and won't risk getting an STD over a quick lay with a local tramp (certain STDs are still transferable with a condom). They are seeking women with similar educational backgrounds. Honestly, you don't see too many doctors married to waitresses and hair dressers. Sorry, but it's true.

Shallow means lacking in depth.

 

Will bang anything that moves = shallow.

 

However, luckily, not ALL men are that shallow. Those that will bang anything are absolutely shallow, as in "lacking in depth."

 

Shallow does NOT mean picky. In fact, the two are closer to opposites than synonyms.

The dating scene is much easier for women than what it is for men. That's what I mean. But men don't get any credit

Less things does not mean 'less shallow', though. That's what I'm saying. If all men mostly look for in a woman is the fact that she is a woman, it's still pretty shallow. Why? Because any smart person with more than half a brain knows you shoud look for more in a person than just 'Are they the right gender?' Because that one thing you do look for doesn't guarantee more important things in a person, like if she's actually interesting, or will she be a good girlfriend/wife.

 

It makes you simple, not necessarily less shallow. A bit of a difference.

Women have more options then the man whos on her level so they can be more picky/shallow

 

Plus men bangign anyhtign and giving compliments to mediocre looking women inflates womens egos to where they believe theeyre better looking then they actually are a lot of times
