Fake it 'til you make it.

I wanted to get some opinions about this... Most of my girlfriends go tanning, get spray tans, wear push-up bras, dye their hair, and obsess over losing weight. I'm guilty of dying my hair, mostly because I stupidly colored it red in high school and now I use a temporary dye until my natural hair color comes back in. But I honestly do not understand making that many changes, and paying for it just so someone will like you. I like getting tan in the summer, but I've never ever paid for it and I wear sunscreen all the time because I'm not a huge fan of skin cancer. I just wonder if guys find girls, who go out of their way to look "perfect", beautiful? Don't you guys want to fall in love with a girl and love her even at her worse, or are you just hoping she'll be tan, big boobed, and blonde forever? I feel bad for my friends who think that's how you're going to get guy's attention. And maybe they will get a few guys, but are they really the kind of guys who they want to be in a committed relationship in? Someone explain this to me. I know i'm a girl and I should understand but i don't.



*Note: Maybe I don't understand it because I'm already dating someone, or because I tan so easily in the summer and just have darker skin. But I think i'm pretty average looking, I'm skinny but it's because I'm really active, but I do not have big boobs, blonde hair, or the stereotypical "hot girl" qualities.
