I guess attractive women can afford themselves to be superficial because many people already assume them to be superficial (because they can't believe that beautiful women can have brains too).
Unattractive women have learned through life experience how superficial men can be. Especially when the boys are trying to impress a very attractive woman.
I speak from experience here. They don't believe brains come in a package with breasts either. I can't even count the number of converstaions I've had at work where the guy never looked at my eyes. It doesn't happen anymore, thank goodness. One of the perks of middle age is that men stop looking at you that way. It's also one of the things that sucks about middle age
I would agree with this to a degree in both genders. I would not consider it "superficial" though, arrogance in varying degrees depending upon the individual, yes. Does not mean the individual does not possess friendly, down-to-Earth and good-natured qualities, however.
Some are, some are not. It just depends on the person.
To me, the most attractive woman is the one that does not act like she is gods gift to man. One who has developed a personally apart from her looks.
Is looking good important. Yes, but, it is not all consuming, over time looks fade.
In a way it is funny, especially with the younger girls. The one's that think they will look that way for ever. Cause we all know time spares no one. There will come a point in their lives where they won't garner the attention they were used to. It tends to be an eye opening experience for them, even more so if they have not developed a personality that not based on appearance.
I find that guys who I consider good looking, in their 30s and early 40s don't have any interest in me (I'm 40), and the overweight 50 somethings are the only ones contacting me on the online dating sites. I'm not a supermodel by any stretch, but my ex-boyfriends all think I'm pretty. I take care of myself, exercise, and am a healthy size 8 (with healthy sized b**bs as well) but I think younger good looking guys (and some of the older ones) are still fixated on the Hollywood stereotype and only want the size 2 stick figures.

I can relate.
But I wouldn't call myself middle aged.
I acknowledge that when I was a bit younger I had a godly trained body, but now I only have a divine body.
Now that I'm older ( and hopefully also wiser) I don't see the need anymore to impress the ladies with a divine 6-pack and impeccable pecs. I've traded my athletic body in for Shakespeare’s wits, its less physically exhausting and I get the same results anywayz.
Some of us prefer to keep both at the same time...
I confess to rather be lazy than tired. Why spend energy if it isn't necessary.

I myself cannot stand false modesty in myself or others so I'm far from being modest.
