I think superficiality depends on how we judge strangers by what little we know about them before we decide to interact with them or dismiss them outright. Be it a girl who is receptable only to guys who look wealthy, a guy who only hits on a certain body type or hair color, or even a school admissions officer who dismisses a student because of their GPA. Superficiality is as permeable as racism... as a visual culture, we are trained from an early age to make judgments based on a limited amount of information, and it's a tough habit to break.
But by leaving us with a choice between male and females, you're asking us to make a superficial decision right now.
I'd go on but i'm already late to class!
