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 ^^^
Just overlook it buddy. I learned to....it's not $220 either....I just looked. It's over $242......then guess what? Those same have the gall to ask me for $10 on the street. Should hang your head in shame......REALLY!


Just let it go, complaining gets you nowhere.

The next time a woman gets "light duty" because she can't lift 100 pounds.....AND still makes more then you......just smile.

This will eat you up inside if you let it.

OP, you're paying way to much attention about what women say about you and giving their opinion to much weight. just be who you are and let them chirp.

by their standards, i'm a shallow guy. my i no longer apologize for my biological desires, and frankly their criticism doesn't help me satisfy my sexual or emotional desires.

At least men are judged on things that are in their control.
Really

I'm 5-6 and bald


try again


Also, all a woman really has to do to is be thin............THAT'S IN YOUR CONTROL

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)

If men call women shallow, or women call men shallow it doesn't affect me either way. Honestly, I could care less.

How does it affect you?

Why is it more noble to reject somebody because they don't have the income or education you want?
Women get called "shallow" all the time, by both men and women, for all kinds of different reasons.

I think what you're thinking of is men who put looks above all other criteria when choosing women. These are the guys who will put up with all kinds of rude, obnoxious and even abusive behavior from women they consider "hot," while treating kind, funny and supportive women like they don't even exist if they aren't "hot" enough. That is shallow.

I would say men have less requirements and things you have to check off in order for him to date(or even marry) a woman

If a guy is physically attracted to a girl, and she makes him feel good(loyal, great personality, loves him etc) she's like 98% of the way there in terms of requirements. I mean...women have gotten married of those 2 things alone

Bc on a whole most men are more shallow than most women. Even as a guy I have to admit that.

People should date who they want regardless of whether they are viewed as shallow.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel the need to "defend men." I don't need to defend my thoughts/actions let alone those of others. There are more important things than how men are perceived in general, which is a silly concept since there are so many of us.

^^^^This.

It's funny how some guys say that they have a short list of requirements in a woman, and they say that like it's a good thing.

If you're looking for a relationship and a partner to share your life with, you should need and want a lot more than "hot".
