does "shallow" even exist?
what about the people above who are like "brains have a beauty/sexiness all their own, Id rather have a geek than a "hot model" type anyday" or "Beauty fades, but stupid is forever"?

It's only different preferences. Shallow simply refers to the fact that they base it on superficial aka surface traits, rather than those found "within" or "deeper". It's only been given a negative connotation because society has decided to do it. The vast majority of people will pretend that looks don't matter, and go on in denial about their attraction to the way someone looks. There may be some people who honestly don't care about looks at all, but on the whole of it, I'd say they make a difference more often than not, even if there are other traits that may override them.
