I suppose being un-shallow is as simple as being open to discoveries and affording ourselves and others the chance and time to surmount the immediate hurdles. ;)

I generally try not to be shallow because I think its a silly attitude to take and one which results in missing out on a lot of good things.

I dont actually think that people "try" to be shallow, just as much as they "try" to be genuine.. I think you just are, or you arent that way inclined. If you are trying to be either just shows you are neither !
 
Stuff worrying about being shallow. I'm not a charity, if I don't like something about someone, stiff shit for them! :D

I dated a Taiwanese girl briefly last year who wasn't all that great at English. I tried so hard to like her enough to look past it but I just couldn't. We were never going to have much of a relationship if we couldn't communicate properly :\
 
^ I probably should have mentioned that I was trying hard to like her cos she was so hot :D
 
Being shallow is extremely fun. People keep thinking there may be some depth hidden beneath, but you constantly rebuke them with insulting gestures and whatnot. Yet for some reason they still think there is more.

Being shallow may be bad, but being stupid is far worse.
 
I stumbled upon this article on ITM and thought it might be relevant.

Singles embrace cuddle parties

Lonely hearts tired of online flirting this Valentine’s Day might want to consider the ultimate antidote to virtual relationships — cuddle parties.

Billed as non-sexual "snuggle workshops", the gatherings see strangers engage in hand-holding, cuddling, spooning, back rubbing and massage.

Some participants form a "puppy pile", in which two or three layers of people lie on top of each other and giggle or sing.

Australian cuddle party organiser, Anne Hunter, says the parties foster togetherness in a way digital communication cannot.

"As human beings we have a biological need for touch which isn't met by online interaction," Ms Hunter said.

“We all need a certain amount of safe, nurturing, non-sexual touch — and most people don't get enough of it."

The parties started in the US in 2004 and the trend has since expanded to Britain and now Australia, where participants pay $20-30 for the privilege of touching others.

Pyjama-clad participants at the living-room gatherings are graded as "cautious cuddlers" or "confident cuddlers" with the latter earmarked for the "puppy pile".

“Most touch in our society is sexualised — only 'allowed' in the context of a sexual relationship," Ms Hunter said.

"Most people avoid touch for fear of being misunderstood in their intentions."

While the cuddle parties were not specifically aimed at singles, Ms Hunter said they provided a potential alternative to online dating.

"[Cuddle parties] can offer people a safe space in which to be more themselves and more authentic with other people and I suspect that would facilitate more promising connections," she said.

Lija Jarvis, from dating website RSVP, said while online dating lacked certain physical elements, its big advantage was that users could use technology to narrow their search.

But Ms Jarvis didn't rule out cuddle parties as a future event for singles.

"If the demand for cuddle parties was there, that would certainly be something we'd consider introducing into our mix," she said.

I wonder if the cover charge includes a complementary MDMA cap...

Shallow people are a lot better at being "people pleasers" than the "stupid" people and tend to have a lot of equally as shallow friendships/relationships.


Id rather take people at face value and risk being duped by a shallow person than be seen as one myself.

Meah, what do stupid people have to offer other than being infuriating. Seriously.

Shallow people are never actually really shallow, they just choose to act that way because of the choice sthat life has offered them, although they may not change at least there is more to them than just being stupid/naive.

I'd rather be an ass because of what life has made be rather than be an idiot because I'm too stupid to be otherwise.

Seem harsh? Sure. But at leasr there is options available, last time I checked there was no cure for stupid.
 
There are shallow people who don't know how to act any other way. It is not a choice and while there may be more to them, they certainly don't know it. That is why they are shallow.
 
These 'stupid people' could also be referred to as optimistic, hopeful, tolerant, idealistic, caring, sensitive, etc.

I'm sure these traits get them into trouble on occasions, but when they land themselves in good/positive situations, at least they never have to worry about fucking things up because they were aimlessly preoccupied with being an arse.
