To be "shallow" for a person means you like them, but only for their appearance or physical attributes. Similar to being "hot" for a person (having sexual interest in a person), except more specific in your reasoning for liking them.
Example A: "David is so obviously shallow for Cindy... he always mumbles about how great her boobs are."

Example B: "I hate to admit it, but I think I'm shallow for Curt after having seen his 6-pack at the pool the other day."

Many give the term "shallow" too narrow a meaning by stating it only refers to those who judge others purely on looks. Here is a list of characteristics that actually define a person as shallow:
1. Their thoughts are mainly concerned with unimportant things, such as the way they look or how others are judging them
2. They are unable to connect with others on deep emotional levels
3. They make judgements based on trivial, surface-level information

4. They are overly concerned with material things
Joe is a very shallow guy. During his day at school he decided that Kevin was weird because his hair is really long. Later that day, Joe told Mark he ought to display the brand he is wearing. He also decided Mark was cooler than Kevin because Mark has a Mustang and plays football.

someone who doesn't have any depth to them. this word is overused by people who don't get to know anybody but instead call them shallow. if you find someone who is a true shallow person they are a pain in the ass. there are many kinds of shallow people:

1. Followers- followers don't exhibit any personality or opinion at all, they just tag along with whoever they think is popular so they won't get laughed at for being themselves.

2. Groupies - groupies are usually teenage girls who travel in a large group and tell each other "I LUV YOU OMG" but dont really mean it because theyll probably hate them after they get into a little fight. groupies are the best at faking emotions and acting stupid because they think its cute.

3. Dicks- dicks are guys who spend all day long judging girls, saying if they'd tap that or not. they are always horny and dont know how to maintain a real relationship with a girl.

4. Posers- posers dont have any individuality so they try to be like everyone else. Posers are usually cocky and self absorbed and have no social skills, so you will usually find them copying your hairstyle or telling people your jokes. They are similar to followers but are just way more outspoken and annoying. Inside they just have no self-esteem and need to learn to get a life of their own.
1. Follower:

normal person: whats up? hows life?
Follower: ....fine...
normal person: whats you're favorite color?
Follower: ... i don't know..
normal person: how can you not know what your favorite color is?
Follower: ... i was afraid you would get offended...

2. Groupie:

groupie 1: aww youre my mostest bestest friend 4EVER!!!!
groupie 2: thanks! *giggle* I Luv you too!!!!
groupie 1: oh can i get your phone number so i can txt u??
groupie 2: Eww psycho stalker NO WAY i hate u!!! go away!!!

3. Dick:

Normal person: hows it going with you and stacey?
Dick: she got fat and has acne, i dumped her
Normal person: wait i thought she called you every day saying how much she loved you??
Dick: ....whatever....
normal person: dude how can you be so shallow?

4. Poser

Poser: obama sucks!! i hate him!!
