"I Hate Shallow, Fake People"
 

Don't you think that's just gotten a little too cliche now?

I mean, everyone and their mother says that when they describe themselves (see myspace), but I mean 1) I KNOW you know someone who's shallow and fake and has said that phrase and 2) MOST of you have said something very judgemental about someone based on something shallow, albeit just a random comment out of the spur of the moment or some vindictive statement.

Anyway, I think people need to start examining what exactly they mean by that or stop saying that.....

Re: "I Hate Shallow, Fake People"
 

I'm both deep and shallow. I have my deep points and my shallow points. A good deep point of mine would be the fact that I'm one of the best friends a person could ask for.....my shallow point would be, I use women for sex and then discard them like an empty starbucks cup. Another deep point of mine is that I'm reliable when someone needs me, another shallow point of mine is that I joined a fraternity for the sole reason to get laid easily.

I think everyone has deep and shallow points. Its just people whose shallow points outweigh the deep points are the ones who get annoying.

I actually hate stupid people much more than shallow people. Of course, if you're stupid AND shallow, I will shoot you on sight with my elephant gun.

i swear...33girl. my stomach hurts from laughing to much. :D

I don't hate shallow people-- I am entertained by shallow people! They are usually good for a laugh or two!

Good way to start on your "Sets of Nine"... 1 Deep, 8 Shallow; 2 Deep, 7 Shallow; 3 Deep, 6 Shallow;... so on & etc...

You get my point... :rolleyes:

The Tantra

CO-SIGN 100 times over!!! That's my motto too!! "I hate stupid people!"

Is this like Stupid and Ignorant?:)

Like the difference between Crazy and Insane?:D

Oh, I am not Crazy!:D

No Tom, it would be like you saying you don't judge people based on the cigars they smoke, yet when said people aren't in your prescence, all you can talk about is the shitty cigars they smoke.

I'm talking about certain XYZ members who "only date guys who drive a Lexus", or "Want that $1200 Prada bag cause the rest of my sisters have one"

Whats wrong with girls like that? All that means is they have higher standards and it should drive you to be able to have that life style.

they aren't higher standards if they really don't like the look of the prada bag, or if they keep dating the guy who drives the Lexus even though he beats the crap out of them.

then again, I guess that qualifies as stupid and shallow.

Do you know a female that would turn down a prada bag? I don't.

And 95% of the men in this country don't beat their girlfriends/wives repeatedly. I can see the guy treating her like shit and her coming back, but thats how girls work. They're dumb like that. Women don't like nice guys even though they say they do. When a guy starts being really nice or treating a woman like gold.....thats when he gets treated like shit. :rolleyes:

If I didn't like the color/style, I would turn it down in a heartbeat. There are LOTS of things that are "status" or "fashionable" that many people think are butt ugly, they're just too socially insecure to say so. :p

Ah, the irony of the opposite sexes. As that "nice" guy, I've learned you can't bitch about the nice guy thing, either change it or take it until you're 30 and some slut decides its time to settle down, and you'll be that sucker to fall for it.

THIS thread was started because of ALL people who say they're not fake yet are, not just soror...errr women.

Cosign to the nth degree!!!

I recently got into a minor catfight at a store because I laughed at the $270 price tag on the "handbag that looks like it should be carrying diapers & formula". Just because it has "somebody's" name on it, doesn't mean I couldn't make the same thing!

Although, I admit that I did date a guy a bit longer than I would normally have done, because he let me drive his classic 'Vette. :D I don't see that as shallow so much as an opportunist streak I had in me at the time!

I swear I wouldn't trade a Prada for my $3 walmart purse...everytime I have it I get all kinds of compliments on it. It's just barely over checkbook size, black, and has a cute red embrodiry, which is all I need...cash, debit card, licence, and my electronic key for work is all I need.

I guess you could say that I'm shallow when it comes to designers, but in a reverse way...I tend to think when I see someone with designer something (especially something butt-ugly) that no one could possibly just love that particular article/accessory so much that they would be willing to pay that price (esp. when there's always a knock off if you just like how it looks) without taking into account the status of the label. (Wow, that was kinda hard to explain, I hope that makes sense).

Either way, shallow I can deal with, fake I can't. Esp. people who act nice around you and then talk about you behind your back. I can deal with people I get along with (obviously), I can deal with people I don't get along with, but when you are one of those hot-cold people that you never know what to expect, I don't deal well with that.

As much as you think you know women, you really don't. There are some women who do want the nice guy and won't up with shit like yours.

I'll admit it, I'm shallow. I buy expensive brand name things solely for the name sometimes, even if I know I can find almost the exact same thing at 1/10 of the price.
I drive a brand new Lexus that I didn't pay for and I highly enjoy that fact and if anyone ever tells me to my face that I am materialistic, shallow, or stuck up I won't deny it. And I find guys that wear nice more expensive clothes and drive nice cars more attractive. So what? :rolleyes:

I would never not be friends with someone b/c they buy their clothes at Wal-Mart or something, that's stupid. But I don't think my enjoyment of expensive material things makes me an awful person. I have deep parts to me as well and I'm happy with myself. This might be the only time in the history of the world that I will ever say that I am similar to Cashmoney in any way at all. ;) Seriously, there are a lot worse things a person could be in my opinion than materialistic and shallow.

Now I will sit back and wait to get flamed for this post. :D

Wow. I'd say you've got some cold feelings towards me. :D

I have no problems with materialistic people.

I'm annoyed by shallow people, but I can't be too hard on them because I'm shallow in certain ways also.

My life has been pretty much destroyed by fake (and insincere) people....until I started distrusting almost everyone in my life.

That's perfectly fine. I'm not saying you're bad cause you have daddy's money, I'm saying you're bad when you think you're better than someone else whose less fortunate in that regard. If you treat "the janitor with the same respect you do the queen of england" (or whatever overbite said), then it's chill.

I do, that is one thing my mother made SURE that I learned.

And who is overbite? Hahaha.

Well I don't. That janitor could get ahead in life if he quit being lazy and got a job doing something else other than cleaning up puke from little 3rd graders.

Don't you realize that most of those janitors are too busy smoking weed all day to really give a shit about anything? :confused:

Doing blow off the stomach of a model is shallow?

--I'm kidding Stan my man

Heh, you sound like my maternal grandparents.

I see no reason to flame you, FAB*SpiceySpice. You know what you want, and you obviously know how to get it. I think you better articulated what I said about having an opportunist streak in me. If I like something that's expensive and I have the money, I'll buy it. If I like something that isn't expensive, and I have the money, I'll buy it. I set my limits by Mr. Visa and the skills I know that I have. I can still remember my parents taking me to Europe for the first time, and getting me "suitable" clothes first. My dad wanted to contact a certain designer to have them sponsor my trip - AND sent them several photos of me in her spring line of that year! Funny, I just came across the photos this weekend.

As has been stated, the key is to treat people by themselves and not by whether or not they own a particular designer's spring line, which a few people just can't seem to understand.

No...no it's not...........

-Am I kidding?

No, man, I don't hate you, but the stuff that comes out of your mouth baffles my mind sometimes.

You know, I've heard of that a couple of times, but the logistics kind of confuse me. It just seems like it'd be a lot harder than, say, blow off the stomach of a model. That I can picture.

Plus what if she tries to scrape it with a razor like in the movies?

Thats what driver's license are for :cool:
