I honestly dont think that there is anything inherently wrong with the societal structure that you are referring to because it is deeply rooted in thousands of years of evolutionary development. One might argue with the evolutionary rules all they want, but if they dont adhere to them, then nature will unapologetically cull their genes from the garden of life. Attraction is merely an outward appearance of genetic health. But knowing that genetic health can only take the species so far, an evolutionary premium is also placed on character traits that facilitate survival, such as intelligence, status, success, and other Alpha-Male traits. The result is one half of the species valuing physical appearance above all others, and the other half of the species having a more nuanced approach to attraction. All of them are equally important to the long term health and survivability of our species. Resistance is futile, because there are powerful forces compelling men and women to behave as they do.

As far as your opinion, while individualism is important, i see nothing wrong with mimicking success. Knowing that people who attend Harvard have an extremely high success rate in our society, one cant blame high schoolers from wanting to mimick someone elses chosen path of going to Harvard College before entering the work force. Nor can one fault the guy who wanted to dress nice before going out and meeting women. I understand your frustration, i just think that it may be in vain. Good writing by the way!! 
 

What we are experiencing in America is FREEDOM DESTRUCTION at a pace never seen before.  Some are waking up and I hope for more to do the same and FAST!!!!!
 

Well written but a tad on the negative side. I happen to believe I'm quite original, productive and while I may be copied, I am never duplicated.

 

I like it.  you're good

A little David Wilcox:

Most folks suffer in sorrow,
Thinking they're just no good.
They don't match the magazine model
As close as they think they should;

They live just like the "paint by numbers"
The teacher would be impressed;
A life-time of follow the lines,
So it's just like all of the rest...

Nevertheless, I understand your point: We, as a society, manufacture the quagmire of mediocrity into which we have devolved. It is our own fault and we have no one to blame but ourselves... unless and until we awaken from our own self-induced stupor and make the changes we wish to see. Think global; act local.

 

the values of the world or at least our country is capitalism... the ones hold all the capital or resources chooses to hold on to it at the cost of the rest of the people. the rest of the people really don't even have a chance to live without the filth because the everything is filth... i know me and u arent going to heaven but everyone else is living like they are, not caring what their lives leaves the future nonetheless what filth they are living blindly in now..
