True or False: A person's attractiveness has nothing to do with skin color?

[Anonymous]

True

False

[wolfcat87]

Not sure what to pick... I don't think it will change their level of beauty much if at all, because the underlying features are what determine the majority of beauty.

That's why if you take the hottest person in the world and just tweak their skin color, they will still be the hottest person in the world. I'm certainly not going to turn down or be less attracted to the hottest person ever just because of skin color.

That being said, some skin tones are more striking than others. I think that people so black that their skin may be blacker than their hair are incredibly gorgeous. They look like works of art to me. Same for albinos. I'm not going to be automatically attracted to them over it. I also enjoy yellow skin tones, because it's what I have and you don't see it often. I've only ever dated one guy with yellow undertones, and he was Persian.

It could be comparable to makeup. If the woman you marry wears a different eye shadow or blush each day, or a man gets tattoos that hide his original skin tone, or your partner just gets a tan, then they are all still the same level of attractiveness that they were before.

I guess my answer would have to be no. Skin color may enhance features, but it doesn't determine beauty or attractiveness.

[wolfcat87]

True is my answer.

[jennifer_bloom]

A person's attractiveness is not measured by skin colour but skin colour might impact how a person feels about a person's physical beauty or cultural background.

It's not measured by skin colour cause all skin colours have beautiful people but it's could be impacted by skin colour because most people marry their own skin colour or those similar to their own.

As an example, I know a Chinese person who married a Filipino, they have different languages and cultures and lifestyle values in their previous family generation, but they are visually similar to each other in comparison to other demographic cultures that come from Europe or Africa or South Asia.

[wiltingrosepetal]

True. I've heard this is very common in South Korea, people just stick to their race. There's just more to connect over when two people share similar cultural roots

[hahahmm]

True... but most people have limited exposure to the variety of attractive women (I say women since as a guy that's my knowledge) out there. I grew up around lots of Asians. I knew smoking hot ones and fugly ones. NOT ONE of the Asian actresses put forward by Hollywood is anywhere close to being hot compared to what you can find in real life. Yet people who only know Asians from Hollywood would think they know something about what's out there. Same is almost true of black women too. On the flip side, if there's only 20% hot white women irl (just a guess for sake of this post), in movies it used to be 99.9% hot white women. No fugly or even average fit women allowed. That's changed tho. Now they're trying to promote meh and fuglies as if they're something.

All that said, not sure it matters if you don't approach life trying to fill out check boxes. I never said, "Hey I feel like Chinese today but I will get Mexican tomorrow." It wasn't like restaurant dining to me. More like I happened to meet someone and we clicked. Or we did not.

Well that's a difficult question and you can't give a direct answer between true or false

Now , a person CAN be handsome/beautiful no matter what his/her skin color is

But people have PREFERENCES which is not racism, they just prefer their future partner to be of a specific skin color or ethnicity

So for example I am not attracted much to Asian women even if they are world class 10/10 models but of course attracted to white women of any other ethnicity even though women in both the cases are white but see the difference.. ?

At the end of the day , if you are handsome/Beautiful then your skin color of ethnicity won't matter and you'll not have any issues being physically attractive to majority opposite gender

[sawno]

I disagree, skin color but especially the bone structure that follows matters. So it totally has to do with skin color because not everyone is attracted to the same races. Now that doesn't translate to the overall picture of the entire population, but it does translate on an individual level. I do expect it to even out on a large scale but I think if you made a poll which race is the prettiest to that individual with the option of "All of them are equally pretty" that the majority who fills it out honestly picks one of the races.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I am going to say it again that no matter what a person's color I date the person not their color. There is an old sometimes overused saying that still holds true, that is BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. Everyone has their own definition of beauty and in some minor way will be different than everyone else's pulse it shakes up the gene pool if an offspring is produced.

[Asker]

That's a great quote , I love that!

[TheSpaceGnome]

True as long as we aren't counting things like discoloration splotching from diseases, infections, and injuries. If you look at porn art you can see how common it is for even unatural colors and patterns to be on depicted on characters, such as blue, green, orange, or red. The only case I can see as an exception would be being so dark in skin color that you can't see any body details, like a "vanta black" tone. As that would be less attractive do to simply seeing less of the person in general, as only their silloette would be visible. No one like that exists though.

[Flatmanlewis]

I think this is both true AND false. A person can be attractive regardless of their skin color and when I say this I mean in a racial or ethnic way.
Do I think somebody with some health issues, or a jaundiced appearance would be attractive? No. I don’t think as much.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Skin colour impacts it, yes. A person like Zendaya is so uniquely gorgeous because of facial structure, make-up, and her born genetics. Which includes her race. It isn't racist to acknowledge that skin colour can make a person more or less attractive. It is racist to say a person who is Indian is hideous just because they're brown

[ZackBan]

It's true in the sense that there's no correlation, no color is inherently more attractive than another.

However the measure of beauty (subjective as it may be) changes a lot between different colors.

Meaning if two people have the exact same features but completely different colors then it might play a role in deciding who's more attractive (subjectively of course)

[rigmarole]

Your skin covers your entire body. Of course it has something to do with your physical attractiveness. If you think someone looks good, you like their skin. How you see their skin is through your eyes which are sensory organs that receive visual images via colored light which are sent to the brain.

[rigmarole]

The color of someone's skin is what tells you everything about their physical attractiveness. Without it, you wouldn't be able to see them.

[rigmarole]

[rigmarole]

[rigmarole]

Anyone that says skin color doesn't matter is either legally blind or a liar.

[Monalisa77]

No it doesn't, I've liked lots of guys of different colour

[rigmarole]

@Monalisa77 Oh yeah, what did you see those "colors" with a braille keyboard or text to speech software? Because any human that has two working eyes and a brain behind them receives color stimulation through those eyes that allow them to judge the image of the person. The ways light reflects off of a person's skin allows you to judge what their face looks like (i. e. why women wear make up), use your depth perception to determine how tall they are, determine their facial geometry, determine their hair and eye color, judge if you think they have nice fashion sense via their artificial skin they wear on a day to day basis (i. e. clothing). Everything visual about someone is judged directly by the color spectrum that bounces off their skin. That's how your eyes work. Thus skin color is the absolute most important thing about judging a person's physical attractiveness. You can only judge that through visible light. The things they say, their ideas, etc. can be interpreted via sound through your ears. As you get to know them better you can enjoy their touch and warm embrace. But from the start it is all about the color of their skin and the type of information you can gather from that visible light stimulus.

[rigmarole]

You may have heard the phrase "beauty is skin deep"... That's absolutely true. The colors of the skin that covers the body tells you everything about their beauty. It doesn't matter if it is real via a healthy glow or some disease that shows visible symptoms of sickness via discoloration, or artificial like a woman's make up, nail color, a tattoo, or even artificial skin like clothing that people wear every day which determines a person's fashion sense. You're judging the color of their skin. Beauty products to improve physical appearance focus on modifying the color of your skin so that different visual signals reach other people's eyes. That's why it is called pea cocking, because you're putting on a display of colors like peacock feathers.

[rigmarole]

@Monalisa77 But it's good that you outed yourself as a liar. Now the world knows that you are untrustworthy.

[Monalisa77]

Wtf? Iits 7am and I've had less than 2 hrs sleep, i read the q wrong and clicked too quickly. I think simon webb is gorgeous aswell as Samuel anderson. Im picky when jt comes to men anyway its nout to do what color their skin is, i like meeting people from different cultures

[Anonymous]

"Attractiveness" is a subjective evaluation. What is attractive to me may not be attractive to you. Some people of the differences races are not attracted to people outside their own race. For those people, attractiveness is very much correlated with skin color, so the answer to your question is "false."

Your question, and my answer, have nothing to do with racism, though I certainly do expect some will make that claim.

[magiusX26]

neither true nor false. to some it can, for many reasons such as one or more sexual kinks or maybe family traditions ķever heard of the stereotype of many in the jewish life preffering to marry other jews? or maybe something more along the lines of romeo and juliette, hatfields and mccoys)

[magiusX26]

since i can't teply to you in uour opinion @menina i'll do it here.

i can prove your "racism" idea wrong easily. skintone contrasting is a fetish. but according to your ideal that would be racist. then compare tom sellek and stacie keech skin tones. both are white and yet one is darker skinned than the other. if a couple wanted to get it on over that difference in color, again acoording to you, both of those white people would be fetishizing each other and racist.

[magiusX26]

[menina]

They're both white. As far I as I know racism has to do with skin color. A white person can't be racist against a white person. That's absolutely nonsensical!
You're mentioning skin tone and I'm talking about skin color. Those are two different things.

Besides, you're not a black woman, that's why you don't understand what I'm saying.

[menina]

Also, you're acting as if I said that all white people are racist. That's NOT what I said at all.

[Altheavas]

I don’t think it has anything to do with skin color at all🤨. It’s definitely influenced by interests, perceptions, visual features and preferences, and then a check at EQ and IQ.

[menina]

True. Attractiveness has to do with your preferences. Skin color only matters if you're a racist or if you have a racial fetish, which in my opinion it's also a form of racism.

[aceleon]

it does.

not meaning to be racist but i don't see a black guy model being more attractive then white model guy, nope, not happening, maybe cuter, mayeb more rough looking but hotter? no, not happening

but hey you can always say it is subjective and i can say then my subjective opinion is this and i yours really doesn't interests me.

[Anonymous]

That's true outside the U. S., more than inside it. Though on both coasts it's more common. And all these white females in places like Kentucky and Texas who are talking ebonics and go around talking loudly about how "I've GOT A BLACK BF🤬..."... yeah... they're racist as hell. Dating someone FOR their skin tone-while fitting every negative stereotype... is just as disrespectful as avoiding people because of their skin tone. If it didn't matter, they wouldn't mention it.😉

[bhargav2012]

It doesn’t alone depend upon colour, one might have colour while choosing partner. But there are other characteristics like being responsible, communication, being both manly and feminine acting according to situation any many other. You feel comfortable to be around this guy/ girl.

[DizzyDesii]

It should not. Its okay to prefer a specific tone or paleness or tan etc but its weird to simply not ever want to date a specific one

[Anonymous]

100% true. It only means something to racists.

[DarkLegacy]

We are not racist to find people with different skin colour unattractive. if people are ablest if they don;t find people with disabilities attractive.

[Ms_Facesitter]

False. There are many people who just aren't physically attracted to a certain race. It's still attractiveness. Unfortunately superficial. Physical attractiveness.

[ByronWolf]

Although I voted for “true” there are certain rosacea people find attractive over others. I’m Caucasian but I love girls of color. I’ve dated and married Hispanic, Asian, black girls.

[systemsareyo]

I'm not sure people state height, eye colour, looks, hair colour, hair style, fashion sense. I for one am a white pale guy, and I seem to have often attracted only other white women to me.

[systemsareyo]

Even if I never dated those fellow white women who've flirted with me in the past, you know, over time. I've never had some woman not white flirt with me, ever

[Notherndude84]

There are beautiful women in every country in the world.

[andreasderjuengere]

Isn't this only partly true?
Myself, I'm not really drawn to a very pale person.
It's nothing more than just a visual preference, though.

[RavVid]

Very little for me though I like the builtin sun tan Asian girls have

[OtterMan68]

True. It has more to do with shape of the face & body.

[Sonorous]

Gonna say false but only because of my experience as a black dude. If I was white I'd probably say true. 💀💀

[Asker]

Damn man I'm black too
So now you know why I asked this lmao

[Asker]

Bruh you shut up
You look like an advanced version of Michael Jordan

[Sonorous]

🤣 nah I'm just good with the angles my brotha 🙏

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I think false. Skin color is a big part of attractiveness and if the person skin color just doesn't look good then it screws up their overall attractiveness level.

[Blacksnake285]

False, most people don’t see dark skin and attractive as white skin so

[Asker]

Dayum is that true?

[Blacksnake285]

Well maybe not most but colorists exists. Some black men are colorists, they want a Latina and don’t even like their own kind. Many Latinas don’t even like black men and in Latin families dark skin is looked downed upon. They want their daughters to bring home a white man to improve the race

[wolfcat87]

Yet most of the world has dark skin... Meaning they all bred for it.

[FunkyMonkee]

Nothing wrong with a nice tan. It makes her eyes stand out.

[DevikaButts95]

In general? No.
It might for an individual though.

[DarkLegacy]

Trust women to say no, yes it does. I don't find pakis or indians attractive

[Asker]

AAh I see, Where you from?

[laly520]

skin color got nothing to do with beauty, some have their preferences tho which is totally ok

[Monalisa77]

Clicked the wrong one was meant to click true lol

[rosemilk]

this is true, in my opinion

[Anonymous]

Tbh I'm not attracted to guys with really pale or really dark skin.

[tzdc21]

For me it doesn't, nor should it.

[LiamJHayden]

To me, absolutely true.

[Sparkie460]

It's true. A woman of any color can be attractive.

[clampfan101]

They’re all attractive in different ways.

[Ladyblanche]

True. I am attracted to all skin types

[butterly248]

True ❤️
