Why do some (not all, please note...) women always judge a book by its cover? Why do some live by this credo?

I have found that some women, again not all,seem to soley focus on the exterior and therefore not finding the interior...

I may sound like sour grapes here, I don't mean to, it's just that it's very frustrating.

I would love to hear what others may think on this.

Drop me a line either here or at rumbabear@hotmail.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this

At times I find its probly in their genes or the
way they are bought up by their parents/family.

WAY too many girls want the tall slim arsehole type
of guy then want to change him and suprised
when that type of guy treats her like crap and
cheats on her.

I dont think that its just women that are shallow etc etc. It goes both ways. Some people just dont want to look deeper into a person to see who they REALLY are - they just want a looker whos maybe good in bed or gives out the money etc.. who knows.

I've struck men who are shallow and immature with my disability. Years ago I was seeing a business guy. We got on really well, and he didnt seem to care that I used crutches or the wheelchair. Then I lost my leg. Suddenly I wasnt the 'right look' for him.

Kizzy is right, there has to be that initial phsycial attraction. Thats only human. However, its what happens after that, that is important. Looks fade and change, but personalities are there to stay more times than not.

Money, looks, body type etc. They're not the most important things in life. If someone doesnt like you for who you are or how you look, then dont take it personally (easier said than done - believe me i KNOW), but its true.

I truely think there is someone out there for everyone.

One thing i hate most is materialistic women. And it seems "SOME AND I MEAN SOME" women work that way and it shows their double standards. Ask most women what their ideal man would be like and they'll include 'rich'. But if us fellas say we prefer good looks in a woman , we automatically are accused of being shallow..

relaxin: whats wrong with the prince and his white horse?????
do you believe that materialism start with aussies??


Nothing wrong with the prince honey, if you read the end of the sentence you will see I am being cynical against men as well.
We are all victims trapped in a confused world of each of us sinking and becoming afraid so we fight to reach the surface first.
No, materialism starts with that fear, and the need for security in life. People can surround themselves with wealth and likes of money but I still manage to have to attend their accidents and funerals.
I see both sides of the coin, lets face it, we do need each other and personally I find women to be good soulful creatures and admire both their strengths and weakness's. My mother is the greatest person I know.

Being in a relationship means finding that someone who compliments you .To know who that person is & to know how to treat that person ,means first knowing ones self truely,what we want,what we need,what we expect from a partner,what we can give of ourselves .
I think the big downfall alot of people make is thinking that a man or woman is going to make everything better.When you dont need a partner in your life but instead actually want one then youve got a chance to be part of something wonderful.

A lot of men are the same. Its human nature I guess. Everyone wants what pleases them. Try being a single mum with young kids. Then you'll find out how shallow some men can be.doh

Not to be a jerk or anything, but why or how can anyone "expect" anyone else to be responsible for another's children. dunno
Not saying that it doesn't happen and it doesn't work, but to call someone shallow because they aren't willing or can't accept it isn't fair either.

Simply because I don't expect them to be responsible for my kids. I meet guys when my kids are with their dad, they don't even need to see them, just the thought sends them screaming. Or at least has a few times. I don't think being attracted to some people and not others is shallow either, but that was the original premise of this thread. I'm just disappointed with one guy in particular, with whom I had a very strong mutal attraction who couldn't handle the very thought that I had children. He's never even met them.

I'm usually a lot more afraid of the mother than the kids.laugh

Kids don't bother me and I keep thinking I want some of my own but it's one of those things that you have to want in your life and be ready for, especially if it's a ready made family. Some aren't cut out to be Dads and some should never be allowed the option, but there are quite a few that are willing and accepting.
