I don't think shallow is a good word to use in the appreciation of the opposite sex. Yes, I go for looks first, but immediately after I get past that stage, I look for assertiveness, high moral standards, intelligence, sophistication, high self-esteem, and most importantly, a sense of humor. Someone who knows she is naturally beautiful, but doesn't use it as a device to gain acceptance. I consider myself an attractive male, I am healthy, I eat well and workout on a regular basis, am educated and career oriented. It isn't too much to look for those same qualities in a partner. Yes, beauty is only skin deep, but one has to start somewhere.
