Why dont somali Men Lighten their skin?
I want to ask somalis this question. why is it a problem or a taboo if a somali man lightens his skin.
we all know that people get darker as they get older even if they were born light. this is the case for most somali men, light skin as children and then as they grow up due to sun damage or hyperpigmentation they get darker and darker, and you would notice that most old somali men are dark, not because they are born dark skin, but because of environmental damage, and lack of care for their skin... am not talking about dark skin born people, am talking about the original light skin boys who are now dark men.
I have noticed so many times lots of friends or cousins of mine from back in the day who were light skin, some very fair, when i see them now, they are so much darker why is that.
You also notice a family were the brothers and father are dark, and mother and daughters are light skin, not because the daughters and mother bleached their skin, but because the boys grew darker.
isnt it time somalis got out of this mentality and that men should look after themselves as well as Women, asians, arabs, and even other africans are already doing this why arent we.
and its not gay its called metrosexual...

It's sick enough for women to bleach their skin
Do you want all Somali men to look like Michael Jackson (RIP)?

There is nothing wrong with being dark. Ms Kelly Rowland is dark as a motherfucker, but she is still good looking.

And btw, your theory is a load of horse bollocks. I was light skinned as a boy, and I'm still very light skinned, and I'm in my 20's.

Re: Why dont somali Men Lighten their skin?
you might be right, i was born really light skin and am darker now.
Re: Why dont somali Men Lighten their skin?
First of all i never said all somali men get dark, i said majority get darker, depending on where you live, maybe you live in a cold country with a nice climate, but those of us in hot sunny polluted countries get darker, FACT. and if you maybe read once in a while you would know, people in harsh hot conditions get darker no matter how light they were before.Beenaale_No1 wrote:It's ghey for men to bleach their skin, and secondly I'm already fed up with women lightning their skin, and now you want men to do it as well?

There is nothing more UNattractive than a man who bleaches his skin...its all the rage in Eastleigh Nairobbery. And due to their acne and black lips....I feel sick thinking about it.

Re: Why dont somali Men Lighten their skin?
