Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
It is true that they do, but that is not the case all over the World, but in most 'westernized' modern cultures it is.

Why? Well in a word MEDIA. It's the image they foist upon the young girls and thus it is that that they learn to mimic.

Truth be told it's true for men/boys as well.

If you perceive that it is more pervasive in the Female population, then if that perception not be falsely skewed, the explanation may well be the Female's greater emotional response.

I think OP is being a little too sexist in pining it ONLY on young women, but then again.... this should make anyone literally sICK to their stomach:

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
Because they can be.If I was a hot girl getting hit on by a bunch of horny guys that only wanted me for my ass I would be to.Treat women with alittle respects and you might be amazed what happens!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 528035


The poster above has it ass backwards. I doubt women have changed much over the years but here is what I learned over many years ago.

In my 20's I was skinny scrawny geeky but super nice guy who got a professional degree. Girls/women would say yes to going out, but then stand me up time after time (about 50 times between 22 and 30). After the first 5 to 10 times of being stood up I always called and REconfirmed the date for the weekend on Thursday night ... and STILL time after time I would show up and they were NOT around.

After about 50 times of that I finally gave up even trying to date... women were just inconsiderate selfish bitches. After about a year or so of moping I decided to just act like an ass hole myself, which was hard because it is NOT me. My attitude became, if I could get them to go out at all I would use every trick to get them into bed, and then after a few porks head out the door.

Voila, within 6 months I had women coming out of the woodwork chasing me. The worse I mentally treated them the more there were around to "service" me. (I NEVER engaged in any physical abuse and if some girl ever said NO, or even hinted NO I never forced sex). I was SHOCKED.

Same dorky looking guy ... but the girls/women couldn't get enough of me.

My conclusion? Girls/women do NOT want to be treated nice. They WANT to be treated as Sex Objects. In fact girls/women WANT a guy to treat them like they are Disposable Sex Objects and that he can get another one to replace them at the drop of a hat with no trouble at all, and to reinforce thought that he needs to do that to each of them at least once.

Sure they will be MAD about you sleeping with another woman while you were sleeping with them ... but they will come crawling back. Some will crawl back more quickly than others, the longest it ever took for me was one year for one, though usually a few weeks is all it takes (during which time you just go out and have a grand time with other women).

Another lesson I leared: As for married women ... MOST who have any looks at all are going to play around on their hubby at some point in time, though of course they will deny deny deny (they do lie better than guys do, I will give them that). NEVER expect any woman you date or even fall in love with you to be sexually faithful over the long run. She IS going to play around. The question is only when and how much, NOT IF.

I lost my respect for women when I discovered those aspects of women. I also started having a LOT more fun when I stopped treating them as some sort of equivalent human being and started treating them as the lower life form I concluded that they were (it is definitely MORE fun to have a coupld of women you are dating than to be going through being stood up monthly). FUN to be around, but like a dog, they are NOT on the same plane of existance as you are and never will be.

-------------

WHY do women CRAVE being treated as Sex Objects, Sex Objects that can easily be replaced by another woman? I have really scratched my head over that one for years since it makes no logical sense to me, though that is the way IT IS.

I finally concluded that maybe 70% is due to the sub-conscicious driving them to pro-create above all else, survival of the species and all that jazz, but the other 30% is how women are socialized in society with it's emphasis on Looks, Makeup, Party Lifestyles, ie: make themselves as a desirable OBJECT for males. Give em the lines of BS that their brains have been conditioned to upon hearing say to them ... "OH he is a desirable sex mate" ... and voila even if any limited logic would tell them the line of crap you are feeding them is complete BS they will eat it up time after time.

Strange but true. I wish it wasn't so since personally I CRAVE the deeper thinking type of person, but alas it is.

They are spoiled by the media (sitcoms, reality shows, magazines, internet etc. ...TV in general)

they think that men have to live up to those unrealistic shows, and they love the drama of those shows. they think the unrealistic world is the real world. they've lost their sense for reality. they think it should be like in those tv shows and men should be as perfect as those in the media; but this can never happen because it is fictional...not real.

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
Women's time of beauty and power is short lived.
They must attract a mate , And form bonds for a lifetime
So they share secrets and plot together, in desperation.
So they make decisions from the options they have,
Ugly girls have little choce.
Remember without sex ,Bountys would be out for women.
They have little to sell

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
The genders have been successfully divided, in case you've not noticed.

Girls have been brainwashed into finding Prince Charming, who's loaded and showers gifts on them. They're also taught about "pussy power" -- we've got it, they want it, so we're in control and we want to be SPOILED in exchange for it.

TV, movies, etc. has done a lot to fuck girls up. Then again, it's done the same to boys.

Boys are programmed to want sex ALL the time (so are girls, though. Note the rise in teen pregnancy, the younger and younger children having sex, etc.). Porn has damaged SO MANY OF OUR BOYS. Men have been taught, through porn, that women are here for their pleasure. More and more young women in my age group are reporting that young men are incredibly "selfish" in bed -- but then, look at porn. It's pretty much all geared toward men using women; it's not about men and women nurturing the relationship between them...hell -- there ARE no relationships in porn!!

Aside from that, our boys are being programmed into buying into only ONE form of beauty -- and that form of beauty is *highly* unattainable for *most* women (particularly after having children). What happens then? Men are dissatisfied with the woman they DO have feelings for (because she's not physically perfect), their woman picks up on it...she finds he's been looking at porn (which hurts her quite a bit), and all hell breaks loose. Hell, porn usage is now a common reason to cite divorce -- particularly if it leads to cheating, etc.

We can't blame either sex; we've all been programmed. My suggestion? Shut the TV off, shut the porn off, and you *might* have a chance at a healthy relationship.

Also, notice how men are now made to look inferior and stupid, while women seem to be gaining power and intelligence (and bitchiness lol). Look at the male/female dynamics on TV: King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, etc. etc. Women appear strong and in charge, men appear to be "adorable" screw-ups. Nice flip there; it's the opposite of I Love Lucy now.

Here is the most AMAZING bunch of YouTube videos on the programming going on RIGHT NOW in ALL tv shows, movies, music, pictures, etc...Including programming for VERY YOUNG children:

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
The foundation for shallow behaviour in women (note error in original poster's title, not specifically age constraints) is derived from the injection and cultivation of propoganda material which suggests girls are to seek out the Prince Charming fantasy at all costs.

This begins at an early age, and throughout rest of life, the male attraction denominator is equated to the simplistic formula:

1. Good looks

2. Rich (finances).

3. Status

Adherance to this ritual is strict and practiced by nearly ALL women, and most certainly, the "pretty" ones.

In doin so, such women will cast aside, and otherwise label all men who do not meet the Prince Charming criteria as "nasty villians" who are to be completely avoided in life.

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
Most young women are so superficial/shallow because most people are superficial/shallow.

If you think it's just more common in women then that's just your skewed perception based on your own bias and the fact you're not a woman so you haven't had to deal with men's superficiality/shallowness towards women.

If you think age makes a difference in the superficiality/shallowness that's also some skewed perception.

Most people aren't into the depth or character of a person unless they like the surface.

Re: Why are YOUNG women so superficial/shallow?
In what way are young women so shallow/superficial to you?

To me most people are shallow & superficial when it comes to dating. Whether they're straigh or gay, male or female, ugly or attractive.

1. Is it rejecting based on looks?
That's not some shocking surprise showing a new or deep level of superficiality/shallowness. Most people approach by looks reasonable that most would also reject by looks. It's called attraction.

Do you think most men go around approaching every woman no matter how she looks like or what she weights to get to know her depth? No most men approach based on appearance not that surprising that most women reject a guy based on appearance.


Understandable if you see women rejecting men based on appearance as shallow. Most women when rejecting a guy get the high standard, superficial, shallow label as she should have given him a chance if he was nice or not hideous and especially if he was average looking.

Odd that guys usually don't get that label. Rarely have I seen/heard guys being told to give chances & ask out girls they don't find attractive or aren't attracted to just to see if she's nice. For some reason a guy being average looking or nice is enough to overrule a woman's desire to be attracted to her partner and if she thinks it's not then she's superficial/shallow. While a guys need to be attracted to his partner is expected.


2. Is it that you think most/all have high standards?
That's subjective & a toss out.

Do you know what all/most women's standards are?

Or is this based on women rejecting men who approach them? Should their standard simply be average looking or they're shallow? How many average or attractive men's preference is an average looking girl (5)?

The high standards bit amuses me. It's usually just assuming that the guy's standards are reasonable since he found them in her and hers are unreasonable since she didn't find them. When really it's just a guy can approach a girl because she's attractive, not older than 23, thin, have his preferred boob size and yet if she rejects him for being bald or under the average height in America aka 5'10''...the assumption is that her preferences are unreasonable because hey obviously his preferences must be normal since he found her and she fit his preferences.


3. Is it butthurt over height preferences or requirements?

That's not some shocking surprise showing a new or deep level of superficiality/shallowness. Most people have preferences or requirements for what they find attractive. Some people stick to them. I often wonder if most people would stick to them if they had the ability to.

To me there's nothing wrong with sticking to your preferences or requirements. Only becomes wrong when there's b*tching about not finding guys/girls who fit them & there's insulting those that don't fit them.

Shallow preferences/requirements also apply to men.
Weight seems to be a requirement thing.
Height seems to be a preference thing. Most would prefer a girl shorter then them because they prefer petite women and it makes her more feminine & them feel more masculine.
Attractive face seems to be a toss up. Most want above average (6-7) not average (5).
Youth seems to be a highly preferred thing & a requirement if he has the ability to get younger/much younger girls.

A lot of women find height attractive just like a lot of men find youth attractive.

Plenty of older men have age preferences or requirements and the most men over 30 prefer and do date women 10 years younger & most men over 40 prefer and do date women 10-20 years younger.

Sucks to say but height is an element of attraction to most girls just like youth is an element of attraction. After all you don't see many men bragging about how old their wife is..most men brag about how young she is or how they got the barely legal girl.


4. Is it the focus on wealth?
That's not some shocking surprise showing a new or deep level of superficiality/shallowness. Most people love money. Most people are also lazy. How do lazy people get money...from other people or steal it.

It's like most ugly/average guys wanting an attractive girl (6-7), a hot girl (8-9), or at least a girl more attractive than him (+1 than him) but want her to judge him by his personality.

Or is this a thing about wanting a guy who makes the same or about the same as she does?

Only shocking bit there is that she wants what she can offer most people are asking or feeling entitled to things they can't give a partner. Like the ugly/average guy expecting a girl whose above average (6-7), hot (8-9) or at least more attractive than himself because he's a decent/nice/good guy.
