shallow people, i hate it - do you? Options

Personally, I can't help but cringe whenever I hear that someone *likes another person only for their looks and not for their personality or who they truly are. Sure, it's okay to think somebody is good-looking, but I think it's ridiculous for that to be the only reason someone would like them. It also annoys me when someone says, "I like them sooooooo much" and they've never or barely even talked to the person. (*Note: When I say "like" I mean as in a crush, or like-like, or whatever, not just saying, "Oh, s/he's hot.")

I just recently went to a sleepaway summer camp where relationships were the big thing. (As they say, "Jew camp is for lovers.") I could never keep track of who was going out with who and who broke up with who and who was making out/hooking up with who. I even had a friend who hooked up with a different guy every night, four nights in a row. I was deathly pissed at her, because that is just...sickening! What can I say? It's shallow. And it annoys me.

Usually I find that I begin to like someone after I really get to know them and have talked with them a lot - a taste of their personality. Looks can help, I suppose, as it's human nature to be attracted, but I think in a partner looks are a but a bonus.

I know I can't control the fact that people are like this, but does anyone share the same opinion?

Yea I kind of agree with everyone else.. looks are what attract me first if i'm not friends with them first. I'm usually not that big of a judger on guys except for the ones that just don't try to at LEAST clean themselves up. i mean.. at least take the time to BRUSH THEIR HAIR or put on some chapstick so their lips all stick out like a fish..

Btw.. you said it bugs you when people are shallow because they only like people for the looks. The people at your camp probably aren't being shallow, they sound like they just want a lot of action. Er..
