Hey there...

I noticed that many japanese girls and guys want to have white skin. What's so nice about beeing white?

Could somebody explain that to me? Has it to do with the gothloli culture?

Arigatou! :pandasmile:

That's just their idealized female concept of beauty.

I don't get it :confused: Why would anyone want a fairer skin tone? I spend HOURS, DAYS and WEEKS lying in the sun to get a goddamn tan ¬¬'

If you are talking about tradtional white makeup seen on geisha, this actually came from China and was adopted by Japanese royalty before becoming more common with women. It has NOTHING to do with wanting to look Europeans. That tradition is still common today, in that many women avoid the sun, as paler skin is felt to be attractive. At the same time many are also sun-worshippers, and try to get very tan.

Loli-goths like pale skin better than tanned, as it goes with the whole culture better, but they are no influence on the masses.

I use sun-protecting lotions all the time, fear not ;) Fake tan looks, well, fake; it's obvious you're not naturally tanned.

not all people have a neg. image of 'tanned skin'. alot of people have a neg. image of like for exp, black people jewish people etc. but then again some black people dont like people that are white, some chinese people may not like people that are another race etc. u get my drift.
