I don’t consider myself a shallow person. I have been interesting in some very unattractive guys before, just because they make me laugh or have a great personality. But, I have noticed something. I can not date a guy that is shorter than me. I know it is shallow, but I just can’t do it. So, anyone else not consider themselves shallow, but have one thing (or more) that they are shallow about?
Please, cause it will make me feel better 
I give up instantly on snobs of all kinds.
Wine snobs, fancy brand chocolate snobs, people who can’t recommend their gym/club/polo team enough.
I’ve sometimes wondered if I’d been too quick to judge and they might not have been snobs but just trying to impress me.
But, hey, snap decisions is what shallow is all about!
Ummm, I was gonna’ say just about what improbably blonde said. If I notice snobbery, you don’t get a second chance.
Jesleigh, I wouldn’t call it shallowness if you don’t want to date guys who are shorter than you. In that case, they either make you feel it or they don’t. If for some reason the short guys don’t do it for you, well, shrug.
I don’t consider myself shallow at all. I am open and honest at all times… sometimes with the need to exercise just a pinch of tact, though!
What you see is what you get, with me. I can’t stand false or pretentious people.
Also, I will always speak from my heart (life’s experiences have taught me to think long and hard before shooting off at the mouth!)
But jesliegh, the fact that you don’t date men shorter than you, in my opinion, doesn’t make you “shallow”. To me, I think it’s just that you have a personal preference for your guy to be same height or taller than you! My interpretation of a shallow person is someone who is not being honest with either themselves or the rest of the world.
Ooops! Sorry I mis-spelled your name… *jesleigh 
I’ve never had a long lasting friendship with anyone who isn’t an avid reader.
I won’t date smokers, or drinkers (I don’t mean someone who has a nip now and again, I mean Drinkers).
And though I have dated a few, I am seriously NOT attracted to skinny men. Not only do I find skinnyness physically VERY unattractive, in my experience, skinny men have bad and mean personalities.
Shallow, huh? Well, where do I start?
I don’t go for men younger than me. I also not interested in men who aren’t educated or clever enough to challenge me intellectually. I don’t trust non-drinkers (except for ex-drinkers or those with health issues), or people who don’t know how to party hard.
Looks-wise, I can deal with an average face, but I’m decidedly NOT attracted to men who don’t exercise regularly–and the buffer, the better.
Pale skin, lack of confidence, bad hair and hairyness ('cept on a big guy) are all major turn-offs.
… yep, I gotcha shallow right here!
That’s not shallow, it’s sensible. I wouldn’t date guy shorter than me, but then, he’d have to be really short. It’s just a hassle, but on the flip side, I wouldn’t date a guy over 6’, either.
None of these are shallow. Shallow people won’t date you for really stupid reasons that effect they way THEY look. People who base their whole choosing process on looks or status.
I’m shallow when it comes to really beautiful young women. I figure they are all just about looks and don’t have any real substance. Usually, very conceited and dumb is my first impression.
I guess its a Jessica Simpson complex. Ya know, girls like that.
Is this fish or chicken?
Here I go… :rolleyes: Just a little rant… What makes a person “shallow” is, supposedly, a person of no substance… ALL of us are people and have something to offer, just whether or not we have the confidence to display it… so NEVER judge anyone as “shallow”… just take a step back and perhaps (before giving them that “personal tag” as being shallow, remember that perhaps they are just lacking self-confidence)
guzzles yet another glass of wine :o … sorry I’ll leave now! 
I’m incredibly shallow about clothes, shoes and make-up. Yeah, I’m vain AND I’m a label-snob, but, hey at least I admit it! When it comes to guys though - nah. Nothing else matters as long as they make me happy :).
Heeeeyyyyyyyyy…I may be bad and mean, but … what was the other thing you said?
I am the same way, I have to admit. A guy has to be significantly taller than me. And I really like skinny guys and not that into chunky guys. I could totally like the guy, but the attraction would just not be there in the bedroom. Harriness or balding don’t bother me all that much though. Also, I hate to admit it, but a guy has to at least have the same education as me, which isn’t too hard because it’s only a bachelor’s degree. I really don’t think I could be with a guy without a degree. I feel guilt sometimes about these feelings, which could be labeled as shallow, perhaps. But I just can’t help what I am attracted to, it must be programmed into my genes!
I have you all beat. I broke up with a guy because he was too short for his accent.
And I broke up with another guy partly because he put cheeze whiz on nearly everything I made. Dumb fucker.
I wonder if that’s a bannable offense. It probably should be.

That and double posts. See y’all. It’s been nice.
