In my post, I had questioned whether there were any single guys left who would be interested in me because, in part, I "don't have large, fake breasts" and have no plans on ever getting cosmetic surgery.

My problem isn't with cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can be great if, for example, a person has a disfigured feature like a harelip, has suffered major burns or has lost so much weight that the stretched skin is literally hanging off their body and will never snap back.

My problem is with society's values and the perception of what is attractive — blond hair (usually dyed) and large breasts (usually implants). But here's the real kicker — many of these girls I am referring to are in their 20s or younger! What's up with that!?

Think I'm wrong? If so, just look around and see what kind of women are typically hanging on the arms of attractive guys or, better yet, just turn on the television and watch any one of the gazillion "reality" shows. When I'm at the gym, I see how guys look at women and which women they take a greater interest in.

The reader who replied to my post went on to say, "Maybe stepping out of your comfort zones will find you in a better position." I sure hope they are not implying that maybe I should consider such measures as going under the knife. No thank you! I'm too worried about my well-being to have cosmetic surgery.

Yeah, of course I can play that game too. It isn't too hard to get some implants, dye my hair and hit the tanning bed, but why should I? Just because I think it will make more guys take notice?

My point is that it seems society is becoming increasingly materialistic and superficial and, with each generation, family values seem to be slipping further down the drain.
