"It wasn't so much the personality, it was the 'but' that people always added when they talked about it. 'But she's got a lovely personality', they said. It was the lack of choice that rankled. No one had asked her, before she was born, whether she wanted a lovely personality or whether she'd prefer, say, a miserable personality but a body that could take size 9 in dresses. Instead, people would take pains to tell her that beauty was only skin-deep, as if a man ever fell for an attractive pair of kidneys".
Terry Pratchett, "Maskerade".
That sums it up nicely, I think. Everyone's shallow, even if its just a little bit.
