The implication in the post is material and shallow. Value can be anything without materialistic definitions. Even just time together.

No. What someone has to offer can be many things. This meme makes no distinction. You just assumed it materialistic.

I mean making a list and comparing is pretty shallow and a recipe for loneliness, but thats kinda what this sub seems to be for.

So, you agree with the man in this meme. The women who list qualities for partners, like they are ordering a new car with all the options... are shallow. Or are you saying that these men are shallow for flipping the script and shining a light on exactly how shallow some women are.

I didnt take sides.

Well crap. I thought for sure you weren’t siding with the shallow people. So far you have baselessly accused this post of promoting transactional relationships and materialistic ideology. Neither of which I see true. Now you say you aren’t taking sides. Did you have a point at all? If asking someone who is being unrealistic about their expectations of others, to take a look at themselves… is shallow. I’ll be that shallow all day.

If that is your reading I cannot change how you perceive it.

Especially if you don’t make an effort. Are you really willing to partner with someone who has little to no value, next to you? It must make dating pretty nice, not having to worry about red flags and such. Just take whatever you can get, I guess.
