Here goes nothin! Forgive the poetic license for my use of the word "never"!

What I don't get is, why are Japanese people these perfect specimens who never get sunburned, never get zits, pimples, never have any bodyhair, where most guys don't seem to be going bald (at least while they're that young).., where everyone is cute!?

How can you have a country where everyone is perfect! Doesn't it go against all the laws!

Either you have been imbibing, or there must be more than one Japan...

BTW, I would have posted the same reply had your thread been "Why is everyone so ugly?".....................................

good question..why dont Japanese get body hair? I mean, they have dark black hair...but no hair on the chest....I must say..very very weird...

I see lots of horrible looking Yamamba girls, I've seen fewer zits but more people with 'zit scarring', most foreigners don't go bald when they're young either and I've seen lots of girls (mostly too young still to shave or get laser stuff done) who have body hair. Kind of a silly thread.

do women in Japan wax their upper lips and eyebrows or do they just let them grow crazy?

[gaijinalways]

I think it's more obvious that many Japanese don't have much body hair (and some have a phobia about it, that is significant others having it)). As to zits, etc.., most young Japanese have pretty good skin, but yes, I have some students with awful acne, but generally they are in a minority compared to Europe.

As to guys going bald, it does happen, I teach those guys (about the same percentage too as elsewhere)!

OP that was the **$*$*@@$ thing I've ever read. How long have you been in Japan? - 1 hour? Did your plane land at a Hostess bar in Tokyo? Either you need to get your eyes checked or you are a really really REALLY bad judge of what is good looking.

Zits are lower because the amount of greesy food eaten is lower.

In Japan they have this thing called SPF 50 and SPF 75 sunblock - you should try it sometime.

Some people have bodyhair and some don't - or are all westerners harry backed freaks? It is true that a lesser percentage of Asian (not Japanese) people have body hair but this could be due to evolution if you believe in that stuff (not to say they are more evolved, but just like animals who evolve different in different regions - please don't turn this into an evolutionary debate since I care not for opinions on this matter. Half of them will probably state something not knowing what Darwin's books are even called).

Lot of bald dudes... Balding asian women are even commen sights. Asian people have much thinner hair then most compairing statistical norms.

I won't argue that a lot of cute Japanese women exist. But have you ever been to Russian? or anywhere else in the world for that matter? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cute guys? They do seem to spend a lot of time on their hair so maybe...

You should really get glasses.... or stop going to Nomi Hodai.

The sunburn factor I think is more a case of them fearing the
