Hey now...what is this dependence on men nonsense?  Pffffft...I've never depended on a man for anything other than his sperm and I didnt even ask for those.  I think shallowness depends more on AGE than anything else.  Younger people (teenies and early twentiers) tend to be more shallow than older people.  Too much MTV and BET.

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.

I think women are usually shallow when it comes to the size of a mans wallet and men are shallow when it comes to the size of a woman’s breasts it is just the way nature made people women look for supportive males and men look for women who will produce healthy babies. I don’t think you can really decide which sex is more shallow by discussing their personality traits men are usually strong and supportive and women are usually deep and emotional though that does not mean that I think members from ether sex cant be all of the above.

I personally don’t think there is a difference between the sexes in terms of who is more shallow it is just that men and women work in different ways.

Some people are shallow; some people are not.

That's really what it boils down to.  Any "men vs. women" questions are going to get a variety of answers and speculations which will ultimately flare some tempers.

As for the argument of women being shallow because their husbands supported them...it is laughable, unless of course one thinks raising a family and running a household in days prior to television, technology, conveniences such as washer and driers and dishwashers (oh my!)....does not require cognitive and strategic thinking, planning and organization skills, budget management skills, and incredible patience, to name a few.  Oh wait - the same skills needed in the work force!!
