No. It's a descriptor. I am very visual. I love visually enjoying women, nature and trees, the sky and moon, seascapes, etc. I take much pleasure in visual beauty. That could just be a male thing, at least in particular when it comes to the other gender. I am certainly not shallow, but I do enjoy the supreme beauty of a woman's body. Don't know if I fully believe it, but Libras are also supposed to be 'aesthetes'.
Yes. I would say humans in general are shallow. We literally evolved to navigate the world by vision, and audio. We can go past this, but I doubt it will happen collectively as a species.
Well some guys are shallow, but the saying refers to how guys respond as in to visual stimulation, it's not in reference to looks. It's not a general classification though as many guys respond to emotion too.
Because women like to pretend they aren't visual creatures, surrounded by cute and shinny expensive things they love because they are visual creatures.
No, they are visual because of their biology & how they made , hormones playing a huge factor. Doesn't mean they're shallow, unless they repeatedly try to use that as an excuse for inappropriate/wrong brehaviors
No, because such a statement simply highlights initial attraction. No matter how hot a girl is, a bad personality or a lack of substance, or depth means lack of attraction.
That is untrue for most men dude. Majority of my friends put up with so much shit from their gfs just because they're super hot and they're punching way above their weight
No, it’s just another way of saying “I don’t know anything about men, and I don’t care to take the time to understand that men are human beings with nuance, varied and complex interests”.
Men are visual creatures. It is some leftover part of our evolution. They needed this to be effective hunters. Then it served to enhance mechanical skills and the ability to build shelter. Shallow has nothing to do with it.
@Highcountry Lol I’d rather stay single than being with someone that doesn’t care about what I do in the name of the freedom ! You say it as if you two are best friends and are not being in a marital relationship, if you don’t care about her checking other men out, how will you be convinced she’s not gonna cheat on you and the same thing as for her !
Easy to type that on a phone or maybe you are the extreme few. Nobody is going to reject a potential husband or wife they knowingly that person has a lot of money unless they have a lot of money themselves.
It's like you flushing a jackpot winnin lotto ticket down the drain... not happening and you know it.
Not shallow, that’s the way nature intended it, it the reverse in the bird world, all the male birds have bright elaborate plumage to attract the females who are vastly dull brown.

No. It means they like seeing females naked, or just partly naked. They get turned on.

What's the alternative? Never have I ever met a woman that had anything else to offer. Instead they only ever want things from a partner.
It's rather narcistic and selfish to pick at and try to fault with the only reason men could even consider suffering for women.

All humans are visual. I look at mens shoulders... their face... their crotch. Does that make me shallow?
No, it's a way to state the obvious, that a mammal who's most accurate sense is sight is a visual creature.
You are also a visual creature. Your occipital lobe is 18% of your cortex, the most dedicated to any single external facing sense.
So why the reason for this saying about men?
Because women like to pretend they aren't visual creatures, surrounded by cute and shinny expensive things they love because they are visual creatures.
It's a way of describing a way in which we process information.
It's neutral.
WHAT we do with that information is what makes one shallow or not.
No. It just means that we tend to notice appearance first.
No, they are visual because of their biology & how they made , hormones playing a huge factor. Doesn't mean they're shallow, unless they repeatedly try to use that as an excuse for inappropriate/wrong brehaviors
But doesn’t it mean they choose women because of their appearance?
Well, it's the first thing that would attract them, usually.
No not at all. It's a proven scientific & biological fact in their wiring. It's not a judgement call at all.
No, because such a statement simply highlights initial attraction. No matter how hot a girl is, a bad personality or a lack of substance, or depth means lack of attraction.

That was made as a convenience for women
Most Women don’t know how to be sexy
Can you imagine if women had to actually work to turn a guy on so we would have sex with them the world would be under populated
Women really take the male sex drive for granted
If we said we weren’t in the mood or don’t feel like it when they want it they’d be really annoyed and irritated
No, it’s just another way of saying “I don’t know anything about men, and I don’t care to take the time to understand that men are human beings with nuance, varied and complex interests”.
I have heard guys say this phrase too.
Well, "shallow" usually has a negative connotation.
Being a visual creature isn't really positive or negative. It's just fact. It's science.
Men are visual creatures. It is some leftover part of our evolution. They needed this to be effective hunters. Then it served to enhance mechanical skills and the ability to build shelter. Shallow has nothing to do with it.
We girls should be thankful men are so visual coz if they weren't none of us would be getting any attention coz lets face it lots of us are bitches
You get a lot of attention?
Yes I enjoy looking at a beautiful woman. I notice that my wife checks out the bums of men that are her type. Is she shallow?
What do you think the reason is for this saying?
What in the actual fck of the couples lol, how do you allow your wife to look at other men and vice versa! Wow
@Pumpkinspice009 You cannot control another person.
@Highcountry Lol I’d rather stay single than being with someone that doesn’t care about what I do in the name of the freedom !

No. You think women aren't visual creatures? Then why do they buy expensive purses and jewelry? Oh right because it looks good to the eyes. 😂
I’m not saying they’re not. But this famous phrase only talks about men. So I’m just wondering why that is.
It's a bias. Everyone is a visual creature. You wouldn't be with a guy that was physically hideous to you, would you unless he had a ton of money?
I wouldn’t be with a guy I wasn’t attracted to, even if he was rich.

I’m not really interested in having a husband at all to be honest.
