I found that a lot of culture like their women white. It's like a purity thing...so I think, maybe like mother's milk..which is white. Maybe the males are attracted to the white light. Think about if the sun's light would reflect on their skin. Make them more shiny and outstanding if they didn't have any melanin. They would radiate....oh I'm getting carried away. I read in Psychology Today that men are naturally attracted to blondes. Then some Asian woman wrote in, probably married to a white guy(who knows), to say that it can't possibly be true. I guess it makes you wonder how much of our ideals of beauty are shaped by a predisposition and how much they are shaped by our environment.

^Also maybe by popular culture. But maybe popular culture is an offshoot of what people think or desire? Or maybe that can all be fine and dandy....just like candy.

One of my mothers friends in the philippines has a business that sells special soaps, its product line is called "magic" and it has all these sub products in it that work together. the mainstream soap however uses papain enzymes and a dangerous hydroxide solution that will damage your derma skin layer, If you use it particularly over a long term it would cause bloches of your skin to be out of place. but apparently they sell allot of it to women there. In television commercials the people have light skin wherea's normal filipino's would have dark skin. Im probably naturally on par with the skin colour the media would like to portray (light), and when im walking in public at a glance im different looking because my skin is allot lighter. I can't imagine that women go to the extent to damage themselves just to look the way the media shows as being normal. then again allot of filipino guys there have a fetish for paler looking girls particularly japanese girls.
