Well the fact that there isn't a single personality trait quality listed in the top 5 is kind of shallow.
OK, I can't resist this opportunity to comment on the Psychiatrist's professional handbook on diagnostic criteria. . . .. take a good look at it if you can, and ask yourself seriously if there's anyone you know who doesn't qualify for the looney bin. . . . .goes to show what happens when society allows a little club of elites unrestricted privilege on labeling people, and courts unlimited disgression for conveniently supplying them with customers required to pay exorbitant fees.
And don't forget the meth moms and meth chicks in the LDS culture. The whole idea of being perfect in the here and now somehow just puts a lot of people over the top on the insanity in all kinds of ways. When you have to live in a fishbowl like an LDS ward, and do all that's expected, you just can't keep up the energy required without a little red bull and meth.
From personal experience and observations I really don't doubt the findings of this study as I see a tremendous amount of falsies, fake eyelashes, fake tans, gym memberships are more common here, tons of people always out running, look at the outfits, and Utah is one of the leaders in the nation in "the mommy tuck" procedures where they give falsies and trim up the belly after a lady has kids and wants to feel young and sexy again.
HOWEVER, I find it hysterically ironic that the site that performed this study is called www.whatsyourprice.com which allows you to bid on dates and the other person gets paid to date you. A little like legalized prostitution? That's not superficial at all! They even have a place on their homepage that allows you to "browse attractive members" male or female. Their findings sound reasonable, but this is all just advertising to promote their site.

I find anti-Mormons pretty superficial sometimes, and generally unwilling to look for positive things in other people. In some quarters, the local gossip in places like say nurses talking about local trends, the observations run on about how women with touched-up genitalia have displaced the tummy-tucks and boob jobs as the "in thing". I'm not anti-Mormon, just showing how Mormons aren't so different. . . . and commenting on the stresses involved in highly invasive societies as a specific case comparable to other human behaviors.
A good Mormon in my judgment wouldn't actually turn out like the superficial ones, because Mormonism in its teaching is pretty much all about "Standing on Higher Ground".
When I studied sociology in college, the textbooks had generalities on comparables between cultures that found the whole reason for religion, morals, and other expected behaviors in their values for labor-saving and continuity of the system. People who question the validity of the underlying beliefs are perceived as unreliable or even disruptive individuals with a negative sort of impact on maintaining the status quo. And make no mistake about it, the "progressive agenda" being pushed by elites today is fundamentally "religious" in the same sense as most religions we could discuss, in presenting a model society we are expected to conform to, in order to enable efficiency in management.
The whole idea of "superficiality" is it is ultimately a labor-saving manner for disposing of time-consuming effort. . . . so you can more directly address the issues essential to your established way of living. It all goes to purpose. If your purpose is to rock the boat, or just get through another day comfortably. . . .
I am generally playing some kind of boat-rocking game in here, and anyone who just doesn't have the spare energy to deal with it is going to quickly diss me.
I was referring more to this post. And you're taking it out of context and not connecting dots properly.
This is the funnest comment I've seen a long, long time. Repped.
Shows you are too lazy to actually work it off naturally and take care of your body.
