I think woman in general are shallow since most have depended on men for there well being and being provided for,from the very start of existance and therefore did not require to do otherwise,that being said i do not believe woman have the same capacity as men in there mind sets to change since it is inherent in there makeup of being the weaker species,this does not mean i believe woman dont have the capacity to change ,what i am saying is they dont want to.~l.b.~

I don't know which will provide the greater deterrent towards any future potenial female partners this particularly "special" individual may encounter. His atrocious spelling, piss poor grammar or his neanderthal views. Whichever prevails, it'll be a sure fire method of birth control so that the gene pool is quite safe from his contamination. Keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you!

*returns the discussion back to it's normally scheduled program* Shallowness is irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, cultural inclinations, age, or whatever yardstick you wish to rule it by. It's a personality trait, unique to an person. Fortunately, not one I encounter among my friends. My co-workers are another matter altogether...

Stay safe, play nice, & share your toys w/ others...

I think I can be shallow at times ... Not so much towards a certain set of looks or race or anything but more towards a certain aura ... I dont know .. Hard to explain.

Men who make me feel small, men who pursue me even if I say no the first couple of times they ask, or men who simply take without asking (I'm not reffering to sex or scening by the way ... Its a bit more subtle than that.) are very attractive to me. Men who do not do those things ... Arent.

I think at times both sexes can be equally shallow but it is impossible to spread a blanket answer to this poll question.

Wikipedia definition:

Shallow means not very deep. It can be quite advantageous, e.g. a shallow pool is safe for swimming and a shallow ore is easy to mine.
However, used metaphorically it is a derogative term used to describe people who are perceived to lack intellectual "depth". There is no standard definition of what constitutes "depth" in this sense, but usually an individual is considered deep if they seem to be interesting, original, creative, philosophical or intelligent. By contrast, somebody who appears superficial, naive, materialistic, petty, unimaginative or a conformist is likely to be denounced as being shallow, although simply lacking intelligence is not a criterion on its own.

From the above I believe all humans posses these traits - we all want what is best, safest, fun, loving, caring, etc - but who can separate and state their base needs without sounding shallow?

My best to all and enjoy this wonderful group to its fullest

I had voted yes-- I think women (at least I) find chemistry just as important as men do, but I think women tend to be less visual.

However, after reading this post, I wish I could change my vote. Being the victim of a patriarchal society does not make you shallow. Men wrote the roles, and then they blame us for those rules?

Additionally, in my opinion, women change 'there (sic) mind sets' far more than men do because women have, historically been dependent on men for 'there (sic) well-being.'

You can't have it both ways here--yes, historically women have been dependent on men, which means that they were far more likely to change than the men were. They went from their father's home to their husband's home. As 'property' they had few rights and had to adapt.

Furthermore, while I don't have kids, and don't plan on having kids (I'm one of those quite successful career women), I think raising kids necessitates huge changes in mindset. Raising a baby is very different from a two-year old, which is very different from a teenager.

Sure there are historical differences in the roles of women and men, but that isn't linked to depth.

Anyone thinking the other sex is more shallow, or stupid, or couragous, by belief, must see some degree of superiority in one sex over the other. Is that right?

Bullshit, feastie. Women are just as often to be as shallow as men, they just aren't as forth coming about it.

Flip that coin Mr Discipline.... men are less forth coming than most women in about everything.... including being shallow.

Are women as shallow as men?

Nicely worded trick question

If I say yes, then I am agreeing that all men are shallow, and that women are just the same. If I say no, then it can be seen as me saying that women are less judgemental than men.
Now, if you had asked " Who is more shallow; men or women" ; the question takes on a different perspective. In that instance, I would say that from my personal experience, I have found women to be more shallow than men ( and this is based solely on my own personal experiences, it is not a sweeping generalization ). From those whom I know personally, and have come into contact with casually; most of the women look for men who are physically attractive, muscular, tall, physically fit, and finacially stable. Whereas the men look for intelligence, humor, able to communicate effectively; with looks and body proportions coming up behind the rest.
( Again, I want to stress that this observation comes only from my own encounters with others. It is in no way meant to be a sweeping generalization )

Personally, for myself, yes, I like for a man to look good; physically. But that is not what will hold my attention. I enjoy good conversations that center around a variety of subjects; someone who I am talking with needs to be able to keep up

If they can't hold my attention with conversation then they will not be holding on to me for long.

OK, my knee jerk reaction to the poll question was that it was separatist and negative.

After giving it careful consideration I have changed my mind. I've come to the conclusion that it's separatist, negative, has no social value and serves no purpose other than to widen the gulf between the sexes which is quite wide enough. I see no positives to be gained from such a poll and many negatives and opportunities for flame wars to begin. I think it's belittling to both men and women and assumes superficiality of the species. I don't believe woman are as shallow as men because I don't believe that men are shallow. Each of us is unique and bring ourselves to any relationship with something new and different which no one else has and which can be of value to one or many others.

See what happens when you tell me to think before I type? lol

The complex or loaded question
"Do you still beat your wife"
A complex question is one that appears simple, but actually asks several questions. For example, the familiar "Do you still beat your wife?" can be broken down into two questions:
"Have you ever beaten your wife?"
"Do you still beat your wife?"

By asking this complex question, the asker assumes that the answer to the first question is yes. This type of question is often called a loaded question, because any answer makes the person being questioned looked guilty. More subtle forms of complex questions are used to catch people off guard. For example, Douglass Rushkoff (page 53) reports that sails clerks at GAP stores have been trained to ask customers "How may I help you?" instead of "Can I help you?" Asking "How may I help you?" assumes that the customer needs help, which may not be true.
