Well, whenever i turn on my television, the advertisement time comes, i odn't mind them, but i do mind the fairness cream advertisement..
They promise that they make u white or pink within 4 weeks or soon..
So, what do they think on themselves? They create some creams and turn on all black guys into white?
Is this possible?
Then there will be no tans available in the world and everybody is white or pink or what?
i like myself being a tan, whether girls around here like me or not , i like being a tan!! Maybe the reason, that girls around here wanna stick with white boys, so some so-called companies have been creating fairness creams for men, so that men look white and girls might pick them up/
This is not gonna happen !!!

guna sweetie, the white i can understand, but who in his right mind want to be freaking pink?
I mean really.
So, you are tan, i am white and my boyfriend is tan.
So what?
We all are what we are and that is how we are born.
If they don't like it they can try shedding like snakes.
That ought to help.
TATA.

guna sweetie, if men are stupid enough, to fall for that fair whatever, just to get a girl, then i feel sorry for them.
You are what you are, no cream can change that.
I was kidding about the snakes.
But, it would have been awesome to see a human shed their skin, don't you think?
Do you want to be fair, guna??
meluan, i really do not want to see that at all, EVER.

I think these creams that promise that you will be white in so many number of weeks or days are only popular here in Asia. I don't know in the US or Europe, but I do know that in these countries people could care less if your skin is purple. I guess its the colonial mentality that "white" is always better. I never used these kind of creams but I do use a cream to keep my skin nourished. That's why I look ten years younger than my real age

I am with you on this, I totally get that there is a market for whitening creams and stuff, but what I disagree on is how they market their products, here in our country, they say it as if you won't have a good life, and you would be unhappy if you are not whiter. That's what totally sucks, because we are naturally tan, and it just is not right to make the young girls think that your color is ugly and that you have to change.

It's so sad, that girls are highly depending on this!!
Well, here it's completely the reverse, girls always go for only white men, they just simply ignore tan boys..
With this event taking place, the companies started another domain for creating fairness cream for men, stating u will be fair and handsome and girls will get u..
What a fun!!!!
I knew some men using the cream , but i dont know whether they are successful with it!!!

Hahaha,you really made me laugh here 
Yeah,do they really think they can turn all blacks into fair skinned and pinkish (hahahaa again)
I just don't know why most people were being fooled by those companies(crap)
Ok,what are the side effects after then,and,until now i can still see dark colored people around (hehehe)
I like guys who were tanned and not whiter than me 
Have a great weekend nice topic
