I heard that European and American people prefer girls have healthy and suntanned skin.
I'm wondering whether or not it's OK even though they have a lot of freckles on the healthy skin?
Most of Japanese girls desire white and clear skin without any freckles.

In Japanese
欧米人は健康的で日に焼けた肌をより好むと聞きました。
例えその健康的な肌にたくさんのしみがあってもいいのかどうかと私は不思議に思っています。
多くの日本人女性は白くて透き通ったシミひとつない肌を渇望しています。

Usually people with many freckles have a skin type which sunburns very easily, so they do not try to get tanned. To Americans and Europeans tanned skin is usually preferred. Very pale skin is sometimes associated with sickness. Freckles can be attractive or unattractive. Personally, as an American guy, I think freckles on girls are attractive, but I wouldn't want them for myself. I also think tanned or not tanned are both good.

It varies. There are people who prefer tan skin, but there are people who prefer pale skin. As for freckles, I know a lot of people who really like them (myself included) and think they are cute. I think people born with a lot of freckles tend to wish they didn't have them, though.

edsploration-san, rikkitikki-san, Thank you!
I didn't know that Freckles could be attractive and cute for women. I thought that could be only for girls.:)
That's interesting.
