The black skin thing

I've lived here over 7 years now but I still just can't fully grasp Thai societies attitude to black skin. I understand that it is commonly regarded as a mark of the rural poor or manual workers etc etc. However it is virtually impossible for a dark skinned woman to be beautiful in Thailand. Beyonce "owan dum" , Naomi Cambell (dum mak mak) I know one or two, infact, upper middle class Thai girls with careers and wealth who don't/ can't date Thai men due to their skin tone and they are both exceptionally good looking (If I see my friend online I'll ask ot post her pic) This shit I just don't don't don't get.

^Same in the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc, etc. Almost every place I have ever lived. Lighter skin means higher class/caste (in their eyes/minds). I too find it very strange as some of the most beautiful women in these countries are, in my eye/mind, of darker complexion.

^ yeah I know it is common across much of the world but are they that indoctorinated that they treat a dark beauty like I would treat a noseless mine victim.

It's always mystified me too. Ultra cute young ladies, dark complexion, but Thai guys wont even bother to look....and their friends will constantly rib them about it as well.

Pale white skin sort of reminds me of that Monty Python Sketch about Watneys' Red Barrel, flabby white thighs and diaorhea (excuse the spelling)... it's like women with Ginger hair...you just don't want to go down there!

Dark skin is sexy!

Westerners spend a fortune on buying creams, sunbeds etc. to make their skin darker, whilst the dark skinned spend a fortune on shit creams to make them look like a dead body....maybe just swap countries?

Every year, at our New Year bash we have to vote for, amongst others, the most beautiful employee. I obviously win but the second place always go to this most pasty, full on massively hi-so Chinese girl that I would call totally plain, full of herself, and, quite frankly, non-stimulating in the nether regions. On the other hand, there are some stunners that make me drop down and tie my shoelaces in order to hide my trouser arousal after just a quick sa wat dee in the corridor. They are dam dam and absolutely drop dead gorgeous, yet all my male Thai colleagues dismiss them and joke about falang chop dam. Horses for courses, I guess.

I don't see many advertisements for Ginger Hair Cream...or "White Freckled Speckle Thai Creme" Olay Ginger hair and red blotch cream...Chill Blain rub on by Nivea?

That is my mini theory. Rarity leads to desire. The lobster was junk food until it became rare due to over fishing now it is gourmet. diamonds aren't even really rare, De beirs(s.p) control the supply to make them rare and therefore status symbols that people (even me) buy to mark themselves out.

I always loved those red rosy cheeks that the Chinese in Harbin had, due to the minus 30C temperatures, they even made Bjork look like a human.

Disagree with you on that, you either like them or not, it is not a concious decision, it comes from within!

The one eyed trouser trout will not stand to attention based on availability/money/class or anything else...it stands up because it wants too!

Thai men aren't born with an aversion to caramel. The preference is learned during socialization. Human beings aspire to out-acheive and impress their peer group. God, this is getting like sociology class now but disires which seem the most primal can be indoctorinated (for want of a beter word)
