 |
|
| So today I received alot of presents for Teachers Day. One thing I got was a really nice facewash/cleaning set but all of the bottles say they contain whitening stuff. Does anyone have any experience using these products on caucasian skin? I'd hate to waste them, but I am already quite fair and would rather not look like casper! |

I once had a Korean gf that was big on the whitening products. I'm not a pale guy, but if it's been a while since I've been on a beach, I can get pretty white.
So for jokes, one day I put some of her whitening cream on my hand. Holy crap... imagine a French mime. It was odd to see my own hand able to get that white. It took a while for it to even back out, so that means were you to use it, make sure you wash/cover the whole area or you'll see different tones and shades, haha.
I've seen some Korean girls go pretty white. But as long as they blend the face and neck together, it works for them. Just like you see Korean guys wearing the skin tight jeans and Korean girls wearing blouses with fringe going all the way up to the neck line that they button... it just works for them. Korean girls dress more attractive and "fashionable" than any other group of women I've met, but if white girl tried to wear their clothes, she'd look ridiculous. |

It seems like you haven't met many different group of women. I hardly called that fashion. They got nothing on girls from Paris and Milan. |

Not sure about fashion, but yeah, the style sucks - let's all wear the EXACT same clothes/style, it's depressing sometimes - everyone dressing the same, same hairstyles, blocks of identical apartment buildings, every store selling the exact same thing, bogus 'Chinese' restaurants etc. Apologies for the negativity, was hungover and craving cream soda, RAGING!@!
As for whitening cream, I have no idea, sorry. |

There are so many fakkkked up things about this statement, I don't even know where to begin. You clearly have either a) never met any other women, or b) are a total nerd and couldn't find a date anywhere but Korea. |

I often get free samples of Korean skin care products. A lot of it is also for skin whitening and tbh I just throw it away. I feel bad because apparently the stuff is quite expensive, but I'm already really fair and I'm concerned about what that stuff really does to skin whether it be Asian or Caucasian skin. Not to mention the moral issues I have with the existence of such products.
As for the way Korean girls dress: in general, Koreans don't seem that well-dressed to me. At first I thought it was just my city, but I haven't really seen many well-dressed people in Seoul either. Despite what some guys seem to think, Korean girls don't strike me as more attractive or better dressed than anyone else. Some of these guys just have issues, with themselves and with women lol. They are very often the last guy a sane girl would look twice at and yet they somehow feel entitled to judge women on their appearance. To the left, to the left... |

If the products are name brands you should see if they can be exchanged for other lotions or somesuch. They are quite expensive and you may be able to get something that you do like.
I got a fat lot of nothing for Teacher's day. |

Of course Euro women can be a bit more fashionable. But I've never been to Europe, so my statement is still true. They are the best dressed I've ever met.
Certainly more than American/Canadian women. American girls are content to wear sweat pants, an old t-shirt, and their hair in pony tail because it's comfortable and they think it makes them look cute. It doesn't. It makes them look sloppy and lazy.
Canadians are a bit more practical in that every Canuck girl I know has 15 pairs of jeans. Of which she wears everyday with her mountain climbing shoes (in the city), random t-shirt or blouse, backpack, and bone necklace (seriously, do they hand these out when you guys leave the country or something?)
And when these girls "go out" to drink or party, they literally look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, before Richard Gere spent money on her.
So Korean females may dress a bit quirky and as I said, anybody else but them would look ridiculous in their clothes, but I stand by it - they are the best dressed group of women I know. |

I'm a guy, and I actually do prefer the sweatpants, hoodie, hat and ponytail look. So, I think there is no right or wrong way to dress. Everybody has different preferences. |

I don't understand how other guys find that attractive. I'm not saying you're crazy or stupid to think it is, I just don't get it. To me it makes them look tomboyish or just too lazy and uncaring enough to put a little effort in their appearance.
I prefer my women to look feminine. Not like another dude I'd play xbox with. |

Your statement doesn't make sense to me. Korea is the only place in the world I haven't been able to get a date.
Well, let's just say it's the only place I've had a one year + dry spell.  |

...The Korean moms want to see those white faces...preferably "blonde and foreign looks"
