I think it's not really true. I'll agree with the tall and handsome. Because most girls want a guy who is taller than them and everyone wants someone at least some what attractive but as far as dark goes, I don't think it's referring to like a non white guy or anything. It's just more of a tanned thing. But pale guys are fine too. In my experience though with me and a lot of my friends the stereotypical guys who are attractive are foreign guys (typically a tanner skin tone than some), country boys (ya know, got that farmers tan going on), as well as guys who don't fit into stereotypical categories. But i think the saying has stuck because it seems to have a ring to it.

When they say "dark", they don't necessarily mean dark skinned. Traditionally it means dark features, like hair and eyes. At least that was what I was taught.

I don't believe it has anything to do with race. I was always under the impression that it meant dark features like dark hair, dark eyes, etc. It's an ideal that stemmed from movies and such.
Guys of all heights with all hair/eye colours and skin colours can be attractive though. At least I think so. I think they mean dark hair. Dark hair, tall, handsome, confident. That was the typical male lead in movies.
I prefer brown hair with brown or green eyes and white. I'm not so much into people my skin tone (tanned), Oh and they have to be tall like 6'2
It's usually about hair. But I don't fin pale skin attractive. I like tanned skin. I think th majority of women like men with darker shades of hair and some shade/pigment of skin.
When people say "Dark", they aren't necessarily referring to race. It's more referring to the person's features and sometimes to their personality in a way.
I always thought the 'dark' part was about hair color. Since a lot of women prefer dark hair over light.
Ok think they're both equally attractive. When they say tall dark, Eric the dark means mysterious not necessarily color
I would say I have a weak preference for dark hair dark eyes tanned skin... that is, most guys I am attracted to have darker features but not all. So I picked B.
Okay, let's not get into the race part. To me, tan guys are hotter than pale guys. It just implies you've been out in the sun doing exercise.
