I'm not shallow at all. I really am not. If a man is nice to me, I'll be nice to them-regardless of how they look. If they had no nose and teeth, I'd still talk to them. I might not necessarily find them physically attractive but I will treat them the same as someone who I do find physically attractive.
No offense, but you must be ugly. Because if you have choices then you'd obviously choose the hotter guy.
It's your generation and it is NOT just men who are shallow. My students are doctoral students and in their early 20's... so they are generally smarter than the norm and more achievement-oriented. Their shallowness quotient is lower than the average, but they still care more about Facebook than doing something "serious."
I would suggest you look to yourself. Anyone painting men with a black brush to this extent might have some issues.
I'll assume you're joking because you couldn't possibly think that a negative response to such statement would indeed be a clear indicator of shallowness on a man's part.
Or could you ?
Yes, I am joking. I don't care enough to get upset. I posted my opinion and how I would handle the situation.
Pretty people get more attention than lesser attractive people, period. All through life. Sometimes it's blatantly obvious, like when I walked into a big box hardware store looking for the nail isle and a real pretty girl at the first checkout said "We sell nails?" I then noticed looking down the register row that it seemed an entire cheer leading squad was on register. I then made a comment "You can tell a guy does the hiring here!" and she pointed to the crows nest where this middle aged balding midget was hold court. And I could picture the letch up there j---in o--. Pretty people get hired over you, they get out of traffic tickets, they get offered seats more, you just don't see that many NBA players, baseball players, or even little runt Nascar drivers with homely wives, do yah? But you do see homely NBA players, homely baseball players, and little sawed off runt Nascar drivers with GORGEOUS wives ALL THE TIME, so whose shallow?

Moderator, shut this thread DOWN. I asked a simple, idiotic question. Now people are trying to give me some type of psychiatric session. Give me a break.
When you grow up you will realize men are not shallow through everyone's eye's, that possibly, it is only your eye sight that needs attention. At your age, young people just don't have all that many life experiences, so sometimes their opinions are quite slanted. Now days young people also seem to have an entitlement attitude. I would think when it comes to helping someone out of a snow bank we can still pick and choose who we help. In my opinion, tight clothes make you look cheap, not at all someone I would approach...

The other day, I was trying to dig my car out of the parking lot since it happened to be covered with snow. Another young woman, who was very attractive, was doing the same thing-digging her car out. A man who happens to work with maintence at the apartment walked right up to her and asked her if she was okay and if she needed assistance. Here I am, eyes watery from the brisk cold, hair frizzy, wearing a puffy coat digging my car out with desperation before it got towed.
This isn't the only scenario.
When I do have tight fitted clothing, maintained hair and so forth, I get many more guys saying hello to me, holding the door for me and smiling at me.
Some won't even engage in a conversation based on how I look that day. It must be my generation. What a pity.
Just so you know... It is probably not your generation, it is probably your attitude.
