I understand your point, and I'm glad you wrote the producers as well. I wish more people would do that. About the barbie figures..hey I'm in my mid twenties, and the closest thing I have to a barbie figure are some barbie dolls at my mom's house lol. I doubt anyone wants to grow old alone. It's a shame that people point out singles to you, but I get the same type of thing. I always get asked "Why aren't you married, why don't you have kids yet", and it makes me furious. But I try to brush it off as people looking out for my best interest *grimacing as I type that*. Anyways, I know it's hard to remember what to say and how to say it, but just make sure you say something :-)! What you think is a turn off may be very endearing to the other person. Smiling goes a long way too. I wish more people were like you who have held on to their self-esteem and are comfortable with themselves. So many people my age and older have no idea what it is to be comfortable with themselves, and that is reflected in the horrendous relationships we sometimes find ourselves in. With the type of attitude you have, I'm sure you'll meet that right one! It was so hard to watch my mom struggle with her self-worth after the divorce with my dad. She met so many men that were turned off by her ugly disposition, it wasn't the words she was saying, but the way she carried herself. She had convinced herself that she wouldn't find another mr. right, that any man who showed interest in her, she would immediately find some fault with. However, it wasn't the men who had the issues, it was her. When she decided to pull herself up by the bootstraps, and get her attitude right, she met my stepdad. People really should take some introspective time before trying to find that right one. When you see what you need to change about yourself, rather than see what needs to change in those around you, things may just fall into place. Again, congrats on knowing yourself and refusing to settle for something that's not right for you. More people should try it. When you settle for less than, you make yourself less than. Keep smiling!!
