What exactly is male vanity?
On a recent visit to my favorite supermarket, I was bombarded by several male beauty products.
Raft3r was particularly disturbed by the emergence of whitening products for men.
I could perfectly understand the need of the female species to have fairer and whiter complexion. But for men, I seriously doubt it.
What good does white skin do to the male populace?
I am fair skinned and I never wanted this type of skin color. I always wanted to be dark. Playing tennis helped me achieved this.
Meanwhile, a male buddy of mine is obsessed in having “pinkish” nipples. In fact, he swears by this Chinese ointment he has been using on a regular basis.
While swimming, he noticed my nipples and remarked on how pink they were. I have never given much thought on the color of my nipples until that moment.
Raft3r immediately got off the pool to put on a shirt and avoided having conversations with his nipple obsessed buddy.
Physical appearance really does count for something.
But to go way beyond the norms to achieve the so-called perfection that society has long instilled in us is just baloney.

We're all vain in one way or another. I once bought a self-tanning lotion, hoping it would darken me because I don't tan well. It didn't; I ended up splotchy and gross.
ganns, Ikaw ang pinaka-pale na tao na kakilala ko. Hehe
I am forever scarred with your declaration that you have pink nipples. TMI, wth.
judayski, Scarred for life. Astig. Hehe

Inspired ba ito ng wardrobe malfunction ni Anne Curtis? haha
Seriously, I think times have changed -- men and women are now equally vain. Uso na ngayon ang term na metrosexuals. :p
len, True. True. Hehe.
We can argue: chicken or egg. Whitening products exist because there is a need for them or, they created the need.
Either way, they have arrived. =) But we always have a choice: to buy or not?
=)

kane, Yan ang powers ng isang consumer. The power to choose and the power to buy. Hehe

ewan ko ba, pag OA na ang pagiging vain ng isang lalaki e parang ang hirap na walang maglaro sa isipan ko. pero dahil kanya-kanya ng trip hinahayaan ko na.
pero iba talaga e. hahaha

hitokirihoshi_kawaii, Hindi naman nipples ko ang bida sa kwento ah! Hehe

What good does white skin do to the male populace? I dont know.My husband likes dark skin.
I know some women who wants pink nipple but for a guy, my first time..
pink nipples..hmmm..that's probably because you have naturally fair skin.
eden, Maganda ang morena.
Metrosexuals nowadays are very common and I must agree, male vanity, that so-called perfection is just baloney. But if they're happy, who am to judge, right? :)
joemill, Walang pakialaman ng buhay. Hehe
