to me, what you have described sounds much more like being called 'concieted", or "self-centered" than "shallow".. shallow not only implies that you look for and identitfy someone you want by a certain trait, whether it be looks or money or fame, but it also implies a lack of depth in any interpersonal relationships, and possibly a low level of intelligence. While i disagree with the statement that a person is shallow if they care about the way their SO looks, i don't think that shallow is just a useless term.
