mmmmm
i personally dont think it is... superficial to want certain things.. i mean... i want to win the lottery... dont means im gonna win it...
mmmmm
what my contention is ...is... if you "DEMAND"certain things.. then u in turn should have those things...
u want a pretty boy... are you pretty...
you want a buff man... is your body tight..
UR man man must have a phd... Do you have one...
you want a man with a porsche.. do u have one
...
if you dont...
then i wouldnt necessarily call that person superficial...
just deluded...
what if the man of your dreams with all those things you want...
turns around and asks u for the same things u demand...
hmmm?
he is tall he wants tall kids... so he wont marry a woman under 6ft...
or u demand a pretty body and he turns arounds and demand you have a body like tyra banks..
hmmm...
and so the cookie crumbles
in short... i say...
make sure what u demand.. u can also give when its asked of u
There can only be... one...

Well I dont think im shallow because I have certain criteria I just know that within myself if they dont meet some or all of them,we wont last but 2 minutes.
Some of my criteria are as follows :5ft 10 or over(because I am tall)
Good teeth,(cant bear to kiss a man with teeth like a row of condemned houses)
Proportionate weight
Smell good
Working-dont care at what just so long as its legal,and besides I have enough money to take of myself.
But above and beyond everything else he has to have serious intellect or the capacity for it,otherwise I get really,really bored.
...and please dont talk to me about shallow, especially when I dated a brother who collected trollies at Tescos for a living...and why did I date him?even though he was borderline Buttaz,I dated him because he was really bright and he made me laugh,it was he who broke it off in the end because although he never articulated it,I think he was afraid of me on some level.confused3
I aint asking for nothing,just open the door and i\'ll take it myself-James Brown.

@Abissinia
thanks for the compliment about my avatar. once again, I am not faulting women to have certain standards for a mate, i say once again, that is not it. All i am saying with the few of the aformentioned examples above are some shallow statements posted by women in different posts here and in other forums. Once again, there is nothing wrong with choosing some good standard qualities. many of you all are reading this wrong. Of course there is nothing wrong when a women or man for that matter seeks someone with a stable job, good looks,transportation, etc... those are not shallow. Why would she date(although some women do) a guy who doesn't have his own vehicle? Shallow are examples of being tooooo picky(hence breaking things down like a microscope on characteristics that are just simply ridiculous with some of the examples women stated above. Nowhere in my examples can anyone state where I faulted a women for choosing a good looking guy, a guy who has transportation, etc... All of you are arguing statement that I did not post. How can you debate with me about statements or characteristics not mentioned in mypost? Again PEOPLE don't get it twisted.confused3

@oo9
Thanks oo9. I couldn't have said it any better. The ones who are writing ridiculous statements and getting my rhetoric twisted obviously have no clue, maybe I hit a factual nerve and they can't handle the truth, or clearly didn't read my entire post. You made excellent points at ridiculous statements posted.
I don't mind a debate, but I rather have an intelligent honest discussion rather than a foolish-off the wall or topicdiscussion any day. niceone.gif

@jett black
First off jett black, I can start any thread on this forum that I want. So you can save "please don't talk to me about shallow" to yourself.
Second, good for you that you have certain criteria that you look for banana.gif. I have certain criteria that I look for in a mate also. Good for you that you dated a guy who had a hobby collecting trollies. You admitted dating a borderline buttazz. Hmmm. I think that is a matter of poor judgement on your part to date a butt azz. Dating a buttazz is just stupid. That has nothing to do with being shallowI think you better read my post again where I spoke of mental stability. As a matter of fact maybe you need to read it 2 or 3 times before you get my point.smoking-devil

i guess you are another missing the "humour radar"
oooh I remember
the Arabic or in txt it was a reply to your idiotic thread " can black peole read?"that - you have a Masters- pull the other one bruv. The only Master you have is your boss at Tescos.
but
let me teach you basic genetics
both my parents are tall, but i am short
as you can see genetics for height gene is goverened by a dominant gene and a recessive gene. hence my mum and dad have the gene Tt and Tt and sinceT= tall and t=short, i have the gene tt, but my sister got TT=tall or Tt= Tall, hence if i marry a tall person say for example with Tt and I am a tt then their is a one in 3 chance i will have a tall kid, even better if the guy has TT and my tt then all my kids will be tall
but then who cares what you think...............you are a black man and a mong at it.
but then we have wolverine in the "sexy feet" thread making a shallow preference for wpmen with sexy feet, saying it is a bonus, well i say it is a bonus to be tall, and since i get asked out by tall guysthen don't sweat me , sweat the technique.

@Wolverine-Firstly where did I write in my post that I had any interest in telling you what threads you can or cannot start???

I think it is you who needs to re-read my post several times as my reading comprehension is FIRST CLASS!,how about yours??

I used the phrase "dont talk to me about shallow"as a figure of speech,not specifically addressed to anyone but used in the broader sense of the overall topic.

Also the man who I dated his JOB was collecting trollies not his HOBBY,and if you were being facetious it was a poor attempt.

You say "I say I used poor judgement dating a buttaz",well surely that negates your whole argument about "us" women only looking for certain things and if you dont meet themwe dont want to know.

I dated this man because although he didnt have hardly any of the physical things I prefer,I dated him because he has a fierce intellect and because of the this the other things didnt matter to me.

@blackmatta
yep error it is one in two chance or 50% chance of your kid being tall
but since I am super shallow, i am gong to do genetic screening and choose a mate with only TTblktoungue
and since you guys do nothing but whinge about every thing from what we wear, to how we style our hair, too what to choose for our prospect partners
then i would suggest to leave us ALONEblktoungue

@wolverine
I don’t think you understood what I was saying… Let me try again. A woman has a right to choose what she wants in her mate (we agree on this), she can set whatever standards she wants, however high or trivial her characteristics it might come across to you and me, it may be normal and very important to her.
My preference is completely different to most. Important things that I look for in a potential partner may not be as important to some but I may come across as having too high expectations or too superficial to others.
I agree with you that we should be realistic with what we demand, but then I have never come across a person who got a partner by attacking them with a bow, arrow and slingshot. Those who are overly critical and wrapped up with nitpicking, never actually manage to get any relationship started.
But, remember however superficial or impossible a woman’s demands may seem to you, there is always someone who matches those specifics to a tee and probably think her demands are normal too. Believe me I’ve seen it.
All I am saying is that as long as the woman/man demanding the moon, the stars, and the sun can provide her/his own moon, star, and sun in return then fair game to them.
However, if a woman is demanding all of the above yet can’t provide nothing of her own I’ll advice her to stop deluding her self.
