call me clueless but I.dont.get it!

Ladies. We are special breed that is for sure. But I am continuously baffled particularly by certain things we do. Why are we so hard on ourselves, and then think that the next girl must have it easier then we do? Hmm..
I am currently in Costa Rica, pretty freaking cool. And although I find myself far from mainstream fashion, I still catch the typical American remarks..
"I need to tan.."
"I'm in Costa Rica and NOT tan enough!"
"Usually I am much darker than this."
"I'm so pale!"
Trust me, I very much like a bronze look to myself as well. But what's with spending all your time laying out for the sole purpose of getting dark?
I'm confused, on one hand I see the point. But on the other hand I want to laugh at myself and all the other girls and go play in the water.
In this culture, light skin is beautiful and signifies higher class. The whiter the better.
How about when it comes to curves? Ha! Everyone has a different answer for that too.
People are funny, that is my point.
Balance is my answer, that is all that makes sense to me.
