Rate your shallowness on a scale of 1-10.

1-10 scale : 1 is less shallow and 10 is superficial
-- 4 --

I am interested by looks, but attracted by personality and conversation. I am some what shallow- because there are people that I just wouldn't date in this world. I don't think it is shallow, but more as "respect" for myself and who I am.

I go for nerds but I'm still shallow.

um I guess I will say I rate myself a 8? or 7. must admit I am pretty shallow about looks.

I voted that I go for nerds and don't care. Out of all the people I've ever met, the socially awkward, the highly intellectual, the misunderstood, the outcast, the chronic internet users... D&D players... guys with imagination... the shy ones... the ones who are great with computers... those are the people I love to associate with. I was raised by two engineers though, so what can I say?

I don't think I am all that shallow at all really. Looks do not matter to me. What trends you follow does not matter to me. Whether you have a brand name bag or not doesn't matter to me. I really could care less. It's hard for me to be around smokers because I have asthma and I don't like the way they smell. It's also hard for me to be around unhygienic people >_> I would say, as long as you don't smell bad and you take care of yourself, the bigger thing that attracts/repels me is personality.

I think a better definition of shallow needs to be made. I'm a very deep person, and I love philosophy and theology. In a sense I can take things too seriously. At the same time though, I am a complete goofball and like to keep some relationships on a superficial level (at certain times) because it makes things more fun! So are you meaning materialism or lack of depth in thought and relationships?

We'll put it this way. I myself hardly ever wear makeup (except on special occasions), and even more rarely wear jewelry. My favourite clothes have come from Target and thrift stores (and as soon as I can learn how to make my own that will be even better!), the only brand name things I own are gifts from people and I keep them based on their sentimental value, I enjoy music of every genre (whatever tickles my fancy) regardless of what the top songs are on the chart, and in middle school I owned a pair of neongreen shoes that didn't go with anything (they were my favourites). I'm not one of those people that jump on the bandwagon, I didn't drink on my 21st birthday, I enjoy reading (but despise romance novels), and most of my friends are not of the "material" type. I'm not sure how you would rate it at all. I suppose I am any where from 0-3. I'm sure I have my days (I'm a woman... I fluctuate of course!).

What do you rate yourself?

I don't think caring about looks makes you shallow. You have to be physically attracted to that person to have a healthy relationship. I don't get how someone could be with someone they thought was unattractive, that would be like forcing yourself to like them?

I am a Libra so I can't help it, I admire beauty and I often am initially attracted to ridiculously good looking guys but then again I like guys who could be considered "ugly" too. Even though they're "ugly" I still find them attractive so I don't know really what to say about that lol.

I wouldn't say that I'm shallow because I don't follow what other people say. A lot of my friends make fun of me because they say I have the worst taste. I don't feel like I have to impress other people with my choice in men. If I think you're cute then you're cute to me. I would never date a guy who didn't have personality and other qualities I liked just because he looked good.

So I guess I'd give myself a 5.

I voted A) and I ranked myself an even 5.
There are times when I have totally wanted someone because they looked good and other times when after establishing a friendship, I have found myself attracted to the person.
Usually with just looks, it was a superficial attraction that faded with time but I always fell hard for guys with personality, despite their looks.
I'm no beauty queen myself, so I guess I have no reason to place so much value on physical appearance. The guys that liked me thought I was cute until they got to know me ... then they thought I was beautiful. That was something I appreciated greatly.

I'm really not sure how to even rate my shallowness. I mean, if I'm not physically attracted to someone, then I won't be able to date them. However, I don't care how muscular or tall a guy is, or other shallow things like that. Most of the guy's I've been attracted to in the past would probably be considered only averagely attractive. So, I guess in some ways I am shallow, and some ways I am not.
