Ah, I see what you're doing. You're equating having preferences to being shallow. Everyone has preferences. What is shallow is refusing to even give someone a chance if they don't match your preferences 100%.

In this thread we've got guys saying they would refuse to date anyone under a '6' and the like. They're essentially basing this entirely on the person's looks. That is as shallow as you get. It's not really comparable to refusing to date someone because they smoke or are obese, because aside from some extreme cases in the latter, both are things that people choose or have control over. Looks are not something someone has control over.

Regardless, this is all tiresome waffling about semantics. The bottom line is that if your dating decisions rely entirely on looks, as is implied in the OP, then you are a shallow ****. There's more to a person than just looks.

You just sucked that out of your thumb. Women who are better than 6's looks wise have personalities too, ya know?

Interestingly, read the OP again and look for the words "looks" or "physical". Yes, he uses the word "attractive". Do you know what makes a woman attractive, or not attractive, to the OP?

Would you date a short man? I'm just curious.

I think you guys are misinterpreting what Zewp is saying. Don't complicated things.
People have preferences when it comes to a partner, or call it things that attracts them. That's not necessarily shallow.

You see, this is not hard to understand, I don't get why Zewp is struggling so much.


Thanks Sam, always go my back. :brofist:

I'm surprised you chose that and not "seriosity". :whistling:

I think you complicated English there.

And this person you're talking to gets physically ill if I'm around cigarette smoke for too long. I can barely go to clubs lately because I want to puke after half an hour of inhaling smoke.

it might be the best person in the world, but Zewp might be someone who can't handle the smell / taste of a smoke breath....and realizing that the chances of that person giving up the habit is pretty glim, he decides nah, not worth the effort

Or should that be Sinker Sam?

I get physically ill when I'm around ugly chicks for too long. I can barely go to clubs lately because I want to puke after half an hour of seeing uggos.

We're not so different after all!

Yes, as are women who are 'sixes' and who are lower than 'sixes' too. That's entirely my point. This number rating system is ****ing childish and ridiculous.

Wow way to stereotype an entire group of people. They make you physically ill? Damn.

Oh please. Let's not even pretend the rating scale in the OP is for anything other than appearance.

And yes, I'm going on a date with a shorter guy tonight.

Dress it up all you want, but this is exactly the same sort of shallowness that you have accused others of exhibiting. Shallow is requiring certain superficial traits to be adhered to in order for you to consider dating someone- you've already provided a few of your own.

In this thread we've got guys saying they would refuse to date anyone under a '6' and the like. They're essentially basing this entirely on the person's looks.

Actually, the only person that assumed this was you. The OP actually mentioned that it was because of their attitudes that he would not consider dating them. Their attractiveness on that moronic scale was a descriptor, not the measuring stick.

That is as shallow as you get. It's not really comparable to refusing to date someone because they smoke or are obese, because aside from some extreme cases in the latter, both are things that people choose or have control over. Looks are not something someone has control over.

Says the person that would not date an obese person? Ah ha, right.

Regardless, this is all tiresome waffling about semantics. The bottom line is that if your dating decisions rely entirely on looks, as is implied in the OP, then you are a shallow ****. There's more to a person than just looks.

Cool, date an obese person and prove that you actually believe this.

Let's look at the reasons for the OP not wanting to date these sixes, shall we?

I've found them 6s in general to be demanding, controlling and like to act as if their better than everybody else and like to put other women down

If you want to be offended, you will find things that offend you everywhere.

EDIT: In response to your above post, yes I was joking. Apparently this subject makes you really upset?

But it is shallow by definition. Whether it be a tiny bit shallow or wholly superficial, it is what it is.

Haven't read the whole thread but back to the OPs question.

Women who are 7s and 8s have lots of experience with many men and know that things like looks don't matter and personality is more important. Women who are 6s are still waiting for that hot guy them believe they deserve. 6s of course won't get long term hot(8+) guys but might get them as one night stands so they end up waiting for the one until the urge to settle finally catches them

And so fccking what? How doe's it affect their world, or yours for that matter?

It doesn't, but I still think you're a pretty ****ty person if you do it. Hey, opinions. On the internet. Who would've thought.
