The mask is the least of it...you ever see these women with the mask off!?!?
The majority are ugly! Freaking scary looking!
So the mask helps! Even thought it is childish!
Have you ever seen a classy, sophisticated, well educated lady good looking woman wearing these dumb looking masks?
NEVER!
Most of you korean women need to get a life and act like women..not childish kids!
You ain't living longer than any other country because of wearing these masks to block the sun! You all ain't living longer because of eating kimchee! Korean hospitals are full of sick people like the rest of the world...so eating kimchee and wearing the masks are obviously not working! |
I wish I wore one of those masks last month, because I didn't I got a bad lung infection due to the yellow dust.
Since I've worn my hello kitty mask, sure I�ve been ridiculed by a few foreigners - but it takes a strong man to wear a hello kitty mask.
Once you (Frat homeboyz) get out of your cliquey circles, you'll learn what it takes to be a 'real man'
If that means wearing a hello kitty mask, so be it!
Save a lung, wear a mask!
Hello Kitty is hip baby! Duck mask are soooooooooo last year! |

Some reasons as to why you have different thoughts regarding clothing in the sunshine-
First, you aren't a woman, so you don't care as much about your complexion and the quality of your skin. You'll likely change your tune if your wife does it and has the skin of a 35 year-old when she's 55.
Second, the idea of "prevention of malignant melanomas" I guess is meaningless to you. |
Is there no absurd Korean behavior you won't defend? Defending ajumma fashion is taking it to the extreme, don't you think? |
You asked, I answered.
Complexion matters to a woman- Things like facial blemishes and aged skin are not desired.
Second, exposure to UV rays is the prime cause of skin cancer. Now, unless you want to spend your hike looking like you've taken a money shot, you need some kind of screening device.
I mean, there's countless people who have had skin cancer on their face who if they had just worn that "stupid" ajumma visor, might not have had to blow 100 grand on anti-cancer treatment and reconstructive surgery and live for a year or two in fear of their life.
Now me personally, I don't soap myself in sunscreen and while I try to take care of my skin, I'm not obsessive over it, you know because I'm a man. But if because of my lack of sunscreen, one day I get skin cancer on my face, I won't be eating as big a slice of humble pie.
How's this- We'll call the ajummas with their silly face masks and flower shirts silly, if you agree that NET with some ill-fitting faded metal band T-Shirt, shorts, and sunglasses and headphones walking around with a scowl is an equally bemusing specimen to behold.
Not to mention, nothing says a classy real man like making fun of middle-aged Korean women for flower blouses and visors. I'll wait with bated breath for the thread that makes face of black men for certain fashion choices they make and the big talk there. |
Yes, complexion matters to a women, but I never see girls in their twenties rockin' one of those masks. You would think they would be the ones wearing them to protect their looks even more so than an ajumma. They probably just heard it on the news and said "Oh my god, I have to wear that or I'll get cancer from just the tiniest bit of light." |

Not to get all tit-for-tat...but any time one of my female co-workers have to run a PE class out in the sun, they all wear the Vader visors. And they're all in their 20s.
Not sure if either of our personal experiences prove the rule though. |

| I don't know what you guys are talking about. I like the ajumma visors. In fact, I'd like to get my hands on one for myself... a black one with a full face shield. I wouldn't wear it around here, of course, but it would be great to take back to the States and wear it while bicycling. If some arshole in an SUV cuts me off and I don't get to see his face, I'd like to even things up, ya know? It might even look kind of badass, seeing as nobody would know they're meant for old Korean women. |
