Are men shallow?

[A-ManESL]

Belle falls in love with the Beast in his "beastly" form but prince falls for Cinderella only after her fairy godmother gives her a makeover. It proves that men are really shallow.

My friend came up with this example to prove her point. Can someone give me an example of the reverse...(its all in good fun)

Ariel (from the Little Mermaid) fell in love with the prince guy immediately upon seeing him, and went out of her way to try and be something she was not in order to win him over. To be fair, the prince was just as shallow, although he at least waited a couple days before deciding to marry her, whereas Ariel was ready from day one.

Of course, all of the examples both of us have provided are completely and utterly fictional, and come from a company notorious for imprinting such bad morals on children (Disney). Can't really think of any real life stories of true love, let alone true love starting with someone in a "beastly" form, since true love is a lie.

Romeo and Juliet are about as shallow as it gets.

You can also look at Cinderella in another way. You can look at it as Cinderella was not willing to go to the ball without the Makeover. Cinderella automatically assumed that the prince would not like her without the makeover.

I see homely men all the time with good-looking women with them. But I also have seen somewhat homely women with good-looking men. So I think that some men can be shallow and some women can be shallow.

 

[Madhuri]

Honestly I think that most people are shallow.

People often bring up the example of Julia Roberts marrying Lyle Lovett. Then again, I've always seen that situation in the reverse, as anyone who would marry that annoying, horse-mouth skank must not be shallow at all.

Princesses are notorious for not liking us until we change from a frog into a prince.

Are you referring to Lyle or Julia?

Think of it as a koan.

No, not all men are shallow. But I assume you didn't really mean all men.

Men are deep. Only their thoughts and speech are shallow.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

Men who want a woman because of her looks are just as shallow as women who want a man because of his car.

Okay so yeah...men are shallow.

Women don't suffer from this inconsistency.




They're shallow to the core.

 

[Willamena]

Are men shallow?

That's a rhetorical question, isn't it? (Just like this one.)

 

[Sunstone]

Is this the "How Much Beer Can You Drink" thread?

The prince tried Cinderella's shoe on every woman in the kingdom, suggesting that he was so enamored of her beautiful mind that he didn't have the foggiest idea what she looked like.

You wish.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

You wish.

LOL well played, sir. :clap
