Again, you are looking at it from a male perspective. These girls get attention from EVERYONE, male and female, positive and negative. It's about getting a reaction and getting noticed.
Some of them have boyfriends, but that doesn't change the way they dress. Some of them aren't even looking for a boyfriend...imagine just for a moment that it is a clique in a world where men don't even exist. They are "competing" with each other.
Part of that is wearing garish makeup. Why? Because they are told they shouldn't wear garish makeup.
Part of that is bleaching their hair. Why? Because they are told they shouldn't make their hair unnatural colors.
Part of that is tan skin. Why? Because they are told white skin is better than dark skin for Japanese.
Part of that is who can where the shortest skirt. Why? Because at school they are told their skirt must be a certain length.
It's more about breaking the rules than it is about attracting mates.
Remember, it is a different culture from (most of) ours, so remember you are looking at it through the lens of your own culture...glasses you cannot take off.
