What is the difference between being shallow and personal preference?

Toro said:

IMO Shallow is someone that sets the bar impossibly high in their standards, standards they themselves can't live up to (a hypocrite) expecting perfection they themselves can not offer.

Personal preference is something you would "prefer" but if the right person came along but didn't meet that "perfect list" youd be willing to bend (in matters that are on looks, not on morals or theology etc. those are issues one shouldnt bend.)

For example, you may prefer blondes, but the "almost perfect" woman for you is a brunette. A shallow person would say "Not blonde" and move on. While the personal preference would say, yeah Id prefer a blonde, but she is an awesome woman.... and has value even if she doesnt have blonde hair.
