It's not any less shallow to be demanding on personality than appearance
I disagree completely.

There isn't much I can do to change my height, my big nose, my scars, the fact that I'm knock kneed or any of the other physical deformities I've been rejected for.

I've seen people change their personalities more times than I can count. If you put effort into it you can be both extroverted and introverted...I certainly did it. It may not be easy, but it can be done.

Change is for the weak. Accept you as you are or forget it.

Why is it more noble to reject somebody because they don't have the income or education you want?
As was said, I'd rather be judged on a variety of characteristics than just two. That way, if you meet say 7 out of 10, you get consideration.

IRL I have a few female friends who have ridiculous demands. But a lot of it is focused on just looks and income. So for them it's also just two things.

But most women I know do have several preferences, but they don't demand that every guy they date fulfill all of them. Just several of them, which I think is normal and healthy.

Ace take my advice stop the gender war threads. You probably can't see it but everything balances out in the end between the sexes. Not all women are as judgemental as you seem to think.

people are perceiving this as an attack on women thread and it really isn't


It's a defend men thread. I'm tired of guys being labeled as shallow when both genders are plenty shallow


I don't actually have a problem with how selective/demanding women are in their partners

Is it my understanding that the OP believes that women are never called shallow? I'm not even sure how to respond to that.......

not never, just not nearly as much as men are


To me, we should just get rid of all these labels. Attraction is attraction and it's an involuntary response


Stop the shallow nonsense and stop shaming men for requiring that their partner actually be attractive (which both genders do really)

Read my previous threads. I blame my failings on a variety of different things - horrible luck, working in a male dominated environment as well as an invisible force field over me that makes me absolutely repulsive to women

and last I checked it's still a Man's World so they don't actually need "defending".

Women - "having standards is fantastic, don't ever settle"
Men - "you won't date a girl who is 25 Lbs overweight when you are in great shape yourself, you are shallow!"


I'm complaining about that nonsense ^^^

I won't date a guy that is 25 pounds overweight and I am in great shape.

Whatever. Call me shallow.
