(....in my opinion) It seems to be an eternal debate: Are you shallow if you place importance upon looks and are you spiritually superior if you don't? I'm sure we've all noticed many times, an extremely good-looking person who has learned to rely only on their beauty to gain the things/people they desire, while the less than beautiful people busily develop their wit, compassion, and sense of humor. On some occasions, an individual is fortunate to have been blessed with both inner & outer beauty. As for me, I am of the primal species from planet Earth which indeed is first attracted by one's looks. I won't lie about it. Though I can see beauty (or not) in various types, I have a definite type I prefer to get close to, (closer than "just friends") and those types I just really wouldn't care to. Some people prefer blondes, some prefer skinny, some prefer their own sex, some prefer a specific skin color or ethnicity, and that's perfectly acceptable to me. Are these people all shallow and judgemental? No, they're humans! I do believe it would be great if somehow, everyone loved themself enough to take good care of themself and be the best that they could be, inside and out, but I realize that this is a fantasy. I like to believe there is someone for everyone, and if we all liked the same One, well...we'd be in big trouble, now wouldn't we? Come to think of it, wouldn't you feel best knowing that your your mate was indeed discerning and adored only your "type", specifically you? Imagine a gigantic garden with thousands of gorgeous flowers, each one identical to the next? We need variety in this world. I repeat that this is only my opinion, and I hope it doesn't seem shallow. But I am honest. What do you think? |

I think the question isn't between being shallow or spiritually superior, but it's between being honest or not, to oneself and to the others. I agree with you.

being physically attracted to another is usually the first step in a friendship that you would like to lead to a meaningful relationship. Most times, all that beautiful person has to do is open their mouth, and in a few interactions, you know quite a bit about the person, if not most. you make sense and I don't perceive you as shallow, just purely honest........ ......when a door in life closes....another door opens....

And we can be attracted to the most interesting of aspects of a person! He can have a big nose, or walk bowlegged or laugh funny and if the connection is there, nothing else matters!

Well, I am a total hypocrit. I can't help it. I am most turned on by physically attractive men. I want strong, muscular, athletic . . .however I am not in shape at all. I want men to see my "inner beauty", and be crazy about me just the way I am. But I am not attracted to heavy or out of shape men. Probably why I am not involved in very many relationships!! HA!!
