paperboy48 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 10 to 15 years ago, I would have definelty said Men were more Shallow...in this current AGE (makes me sounds old). I think (for the most part, ladies) women tend to be more shallow than they were 15 years ago. I don't think looks and job class, etc meant as much to women as they do now. I am justing coming off a bad divorce and have some self-esteem issues going on, so maybe its just me...I don't know. I'm curious to hear opinons of others?
Necromancer Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I think we are equally shallow. Women do not care as much about personality as they say they for the most part.
LittlePrince Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 It has always been important to women. More women are more straightforward about it.
123321 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 If you really look at it from a reproductive strategies standpoint, both tend to be very pragmatic.
MrCastle Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 I think it depends on the person. I don't agree with the idea that all women are shallow like some frustrated men on here claim, nor do I agree with this idea put forth by other men and women on here that your dating failures have nothing to do with the other person or your looks but something in your personality. Fact is, there are women out there who will reject you for how you look. We all know the story of men and how bad they can be, but just like women, it's a case by case basis. Some men are terrible and reject anyone who doesn't fit their very specific idea of beauty, but that's not all men. I don't think one gender is better than the other in that regard.
oaks Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Shallow people are to be avoided unless they are really hot. 2

I suspect both genders have grown more shallow. Although I admit that I think men tend to be the more shallow gender. Most men with an internet connection and eyeballs have much different standards today regarding women then previous generations.

Eh, men typically have things they look for and so do women, women however are typically more complex but just as self centered really. It's a product of our genes trying to make copies of themselves as expressed in the two different types of gene vehicles.

Could such definition be apply to one gender more than the other one? Perhaps, it's really a very individual characteristic.
VodkaShots Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Women are more likely to let looks slide if she likes a man enough, whereas men tend to pretend unattractive women don't exist in their lives - i.e. they don't befriend women they wouldn't consider sexing. I also think women are more inclined to accept their level of attractiveness and stay in their "league" whereas you always see unattractive guys trying to get with attractive women. I.E. how often do you see or hear about unattractive women try and guilt trip attractive bodybuilders or athletes (or something) into dating them just because they're "nice"? Yet the internet is clogged with tiresome stories about the friend-zoned nice guy who gets ignored by attactive women.

BS76 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Women are more shallow by orders of magnitude. I see it every day. Look at your standard club environment. Watch how women blow guys off like they're nothing. They don't know a thing about these guys beside the external. Then watch who they leave with. Says a lot about the OP's questions. Guys are looks driven too, but it's more than looks and I think we can all agree that personality matters a ton. But that goes right back to what I'm saying, women don't tend to select mate based on looks the way men do, so when a woman who blows off a guy without getting to know him, that is a demonstration of how women are shallow.

It's hard to put into words and this is a pretty clunky explanation. Another way of judging shallowness to look at all the things women have on their mental checklist a guy needs in order to have sex with or date him. Certain level of looks/fitness, height, personality traits, job prospects, etc. Guys, they just want a hot chick that'll treat them well.
threebyfate Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Who's more Shallow: Men or Women? Women for sure! If men aren't 10s, we're disinterested in them.
threebyfate Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Just give it up guys. If you're not a 10, don't bother.
threebyfate Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 you come off as shallow.Yes, I only date, have relationships and marry 10s who are rich and have big wangs.
Oxy Moronovich Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Can the OP give his/her definition of shallow?

Play again next time.
