Lets face it people have preferences, walang kinalaman sa itsurang alipin yan. And hindi lahat ng Maputi maganda na yung iba maputi pero Pangit muka. We should not make any Assumptions about what we are not Proud or Proud off

There's nothing wrong with preferences--and attraction is almost always instantaneous and that's not anyone's fault.

GT folks are just talking about why most pinoys prefer white skin. On a subconscious level, there has to be a reason behind that.

Tipong, "why do many guys prefer big boobs?"

'Cause humans really have this tendency to desire what we don't have.

Nung bata pa ako lalo na nung HS and college days at early working days super effort talaga akogn magpaputi.  Pero as I age nagmature na I learned to love and appreciate my Brown color, confidence enough for me to call my blog Brown Pinay.

Ang anak ko kayumanggi din at pinalaki ko syang confident sa kanyang color, kasi ako nuon tinutukso ng aking mga kapatid na negra hehe. mapuputi kasi sila ate. Paano namang hindi ako iitim being the bunso girl ako ang inuutusan nila sa labas heheh

I guess dahil sa tropical tayo at maaliwalas sa paningin ang puti, influence na rin ng mga magazines at ads.

ako noon super maitim, nagugulat yung mga dati kong classmate na grabeng puti ko na ahahaha syempre nadala sa pambubully na maitim nga ako noon, yan ang reason ko, kasalanan ng lipunan yan(nanisi daw hahaha) paano ka naman kasi di magpapaputi eh yung mga taong kung makapanlait grabe ang tindi, akala mo krimen na yung brown skin ng tao. Aminin natin minsan kapag maputi ka at makinis kinis itsurang malinis kang tignan compare sa brown skin(ooppps di ko sinasabing madumi ang mga tan ang kulay ha), base yan sa paghusga ng ibang tao.


mali kasi ako ng lugar kung saan ako pinanganak dapat dun ako sa america ng maappreciate naman yung brown color ko hehe, pero lately nagpapaitim na ako ng konti para normal pa rin naman, mukhang may sakit na kasi yung kulay ko parang putla na imbes na maputi

^IMO dagdag ganda points kapag maputi ka  ;D mukhang mabango pa, glowing!  ;D

di naman ako maitim, medyo maputi lang, or dahil nga din sa kagagamit ng whitening soap  :P
parang compliment kasi lagi yung "Uy ang puti mo ah" , ang sarap sa padinig!  ;D

Ako personally gusto ko maging maputi kasi morena lang talaga ako then may point na naging sobra pa sa morena malapit sa negra ang kulay ko.. insecure talaga ako pagnakakakita ako ng maputi pero I nagsawa na akong magpapaputi unless talaga magpa derma ako or magpaturok ng glutha.

I asked permission sa asawa ko na magpapaturok ako ng glutha sabi niya hindi lahat ng maputi maganda, it a Spanish attitude na iniwan sa atin na ang maputi maganda.

So nanahimik na ako..

^ Or rather yung colonial mentality, mga mestizo/mestiza Donya Victorina noong araw. Kasi mga Spanish, I observed dark olive skin talaga preference nila. Ako being pale, asa lang snob "beauty" ko sa kanila.

Since highschool, conscious narin ako sa kulay ko. Maitim ako and wala nanliligaw saken. TH din ako magpaputi, always using Pond's face cream and ayaw maarawan. Nawala na lang insecurities ko when i started to have some admirers at work that made me feel beautiful with who i am and what color i have.

Also, noong na assign ako sa US state where madami ang black people (not to discrimanate color ha), makikita mo sa kanila ang confidence and contentment with their color which makes them beautiful also. They are also not conscious of darker UA, mga kasabayan ko sa gym doon, walagn pakialam sa color ng UA or if hairy pa ito.

Right now, i'm happy im not that conscious anymore, minsan swim once a week without sunblock (which i know is harmful), can wear sleeveless even if hindi gnun ka light and UA, kayang mag babad sa beach and enjoy up to sawa and most of all, i feel beautiful even with my dark brown color  ;)

After my swimming lessons and getting  "colored", i find people really reacted differently to persons who arent fair or white.

Come to think of it white Americans when they go here sa Philippines they are attracted to morena or sa mga Filipina na hindi talaga maputi at sa america naman in demand ang mga tanning salon. The tanner the better, they do it even before an event.

Pero dito sa Philippines usong uso ang mga glutha at whitening soap, pero ako gusto ko pa rin pumuti..haha

Pinkk, that's interesting. Ako naman, I went t a triathlon press con something. My first time to go to something like that, tapos almost everyone is tan/ brown, kasi most people are athletes who train under the sun. No one seems to care about skin color. Parang ang dating, the more tan you are the more athletic you look.

That is a little off-topic, pero, wala lang, just thought I'd share na iba-iba talaga ang perception ng tao sa skin color. I think it's ok as long wag mambully or hindi blatant discrimination.
