Actually ones taste in music says a lot about them and I don't think taking that into consideration is shallow at all. It is in fact being realistic about who one is and what one wants in a relationship. I greatly dislike country music. If I met a girl that LOVED country music, knew all the performers names, song lyrics and went to the concerts than even if I liked her as a person I know a long term relationship would be difficult at best. Listening to her music on long car trips would be torturous and going to concerts would be out of the question. If the girl was deeply into sports or fishing or any number of things that don't float my boat there could be a problem. Mild interest differences don't make a difference but major cultural and interest differences can cause problems. It doesn't necessarily doom a relationship but wouldn't one be happier with someone that shares the majority of the same interests?
