I've tried fake tan but it goes on my clothes, plus I live in the UK not Sweden now where if you wear too much people think you are an "Essex girl" :lol:

what even is this?

And I've heard of why Asians want to be pale: "tall, rich, handsome" for dudes and "white, pretty, rich" for girls. Why tho?

Anyway the tanned Asian men are the ones embraced in media anyway so whoops for you.

You sound mad. You do it for yourself but you do it because you'd feel better among others if you're pale. That's the truth.

No??? The Chinese media. The western media ignores Asians, doofus.

Actual Asian media celebrates dark Asians.
I could give a list but I'm sure you know this.

I pray one day you find love for yourself.
But if you're naturally pale don't go walking around thinking you're better than someone else. It's skin. You could be pale and still be a moron or something.

Stereotypes!!! My mother is pale and she didn't start ageing until late 30s/early 40s. East Asians are also pale and usually also start to age later in life. What's certain is that excessivr sun exposure will certainly accelerate the ageing process.

I said often not always. My mother too is very fair blonde hair and blue eyes and doing great. Most pale women her age - not so much. East Asians also tend to have a better diet and they do have more melanin on average than a pale European person.

I think it is because British women don't really seem to care about their skin. Probably don't use a good moisturiser for their dry skin and burn up in the sun by not using a good sunscreen.

Yes I do think there is a genetic component to it but probably moreover an environmental. Smoking and drinking like fish, eating crap foods and staying out in the midday sun is common in Britain. At my uni there are 18 year old freshers with forehead wrinkles and crows feet already.

I know it is, I told you I know about bai fu mei, gao fu shuai. But I've still seen "tall, dark, handsome" type actors. The Chinese are made fun of all the time in the west for altering their gorgeous ethnic traits to look white. You don't have to tell me.
