Are You Shallow?

After having a very interesting conversation with some family of mine about my relationships the question came about as to whether I was shallow or not. I even had to look back and see for myself if how I chose the women I "relate" to was shallow. I personally do not believe I am and by the vast range of women I have dealt I dont believe that anyone else could say I was either. The dictionary defines shallow as:

SHALLOW
shal·low (shl)

adj. shal·low·er, shal·low·est

1. Measuring little from bottom to top or surface; lacking physical depth.

2. Lacking depth of intellect, emotion, or knowledge: "This is a shallow parody of America" (Lloyd Rose).

3. Marked by insufficient inhalation of air; weak: shallow respirations.

4. In the part of a playing area that is closer to home plate: shallow left field.

n.

A part of a body of water of little depth; a shoal. Often used in the plural: abandoned the boat in the shallows.

tr. & intr.v. shal·lowed, shal·low·ing, shal·lows

To make or become shallow.

What are the reasons for people being shallow? Is it that they lack the confidence in themselves so they look for all that they are missing in someone else? Is it based totally off of physical attributes? Is it financial? There are probably dozens of reasons why people choose who they choose and I can bet that most of those reason would fall in the category of being shallow. Now I do have preferences but I do not eliminate just because they do not fit the script of what I normally prefer. So does having a preference make you shallow? I think it can but it just depends on how harshly you approach your thought process.

This shallow thing goes WAY deeper than any blog or podcast could touch on. I just thought the idea was for everyone to find someone that made them feel good, stimulated their mind and mae them happy & satisfied. I guess somewhere we ALL lost that idea and went down the shallow road.

Me and Lizzy touched on this subject in out weekly podcast.
