Is pale skin a turn off?

Question

Girl, u kidding me? I could kill to have that pale skin. My ex, he used to compare me with every pale girl around him telling me that I'd look 'so beautiful' if I was pale. I still can't believe I actually shaved my arms and legs that time just to look a bit lighter for him. -.-

Since my birth people only see my skin color and nothing else. Relatives pick on me for being darker than my sister, heck I'm darker than everyone in my family and it sucks.

I have considered getting a skin bleach many times. Might as well get it once I'm a bit older.

Tanning is very popular where I live. So I always got negatieve comments, especially in summer, about my pale complexion. Saying I should catch more sun, that I shouldn't wear shorts with my pale legs etc. I'm a natural light blonde with pale skin and freckles so it tanning is not an option for me. Luckily I've grown to accept my complexion.

I like it! I don't think any skin tone is ugly. It depends how you use makeup. The girl on the photo wears make up that looks good on her face. If she wore a ton of bronzer it would look bad.

Beauty is holistic. The pale ginger above is stunning. Almost her own race. Irish I'd guess. But so is she.

dude shut up you're clearly just looking for compliments you know most guys like/prefer paler skin especially on here

MarkGerrits · Answer

if that's you i'd say marry me xD! i think red heads are gorgeous (gingers included) and the pale skin ain't off putting it only makes the red pop out even more.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

It depends. Some times it is a turn on. Sometimes dark skin is a turn on.  It is hard to say. The model below makes me wish I was 35 years younger.  :D

20sofia · Answer

I have very pale skin and I honestly think having pale skin is amazing. Self tanner makes people look fake. Also being pale is unique and if a guy wants you to change then he isn't worth it. I honestly don't think it is but guys like different things.

Artesian · Answer

Why would you even ask this, and even worse why would GaG highlight this question on the front page?

Imagine the question was, "Is black skin a turn off?" How well do you think that would go over?

Pale skin, pretty face, bright red hair, with some freckles to boot... sexy as fuck.

UnknownXYZ · Answer

Not at all. The girl with the pale skin GaG posted is extremely attractive.

thatguyfromtoronto · Answer

No, I have fair skin so I am not going to point my finger at someone and say eww! you have pale skin. Now, I have seen girls with pale skin and look skinny, almost anorexic, that's different, that's when people will assume okay is that person doing well.

Sluthater · Answer

No. Not at all. The only thing that turns me off are bad teeth, morbidly obese, promiscuous women, and women with bad credit. Everything else is negotiable. But looks wise I prefer either very pale skin red headed women like the one in the picture or extremely dark skinned black women. But looks rank so far down my list. Like #5 or #6 in importance.

Asad1ONE1 · Answer

It's not the "race", but the "face" that matters. I'd choose a cute darker skinned girl over an ugly lighter skinned girl any day. Likewise, I'd choose a cute lighter skinned girl over an ugly darker skinned girl any day.

Consider the "face", not the "race".

BrittBratt2416 · Answer

Too some people no, to some people yes. Some people see pale skin as sickly and not getting enough nutrients or Sun. Others see it as light and beautiful as snow. Just gotta find the right person who won't mind.

Anonymous · Answer

All things being equal, then yes, having a tan is 100x more attractive, it's just like how being tall and slender is more attractive than being short or fat. It's in our genetic programming.

but in real life, things are seldom equal. In real life, attractiveness is a combination of lots of things, never one thing. So questions like these are irrelevant. Only super shallow people would not date someone over just one physical attribute like pale skin, being short or fat, etc.

sawno · Answer

Noooo! Huge turn on! Pale to moderately tanned is great, its much healthier to. I don't want my girl to be pure orange.

Trevox · Answer

Not a turn off at all. Sorry, but to me it's like asking if being a brunette is a turn off. I just don't find any color a turn off. A girl could be green and it wouldn't be a turn off (go, She-Hulk!)

aicarg · Answer

It depends on how pale... not vampire toned I hope. But nahh, not off putting at all in my opinion. Like Dakota Fanning is fair and light tonned, but I find her pretty 🙂

RedMatch · Answer

Well you better check your poll again because 76% of people like pale skin. Personally I think any skin is beautiful as long as its natural and if a person has pale skin it is beautiful.

BlackMaleYou · Answer

Its such a fuckin turn on. As a black the contract between both skin tone is just amazing. Though I like all types of skin I do search for porn with girls pale skin. Its beautiful like very dark skin.

NaultD · Answer

I think the most unfair about pale skin is that you see everything and it makes things stand out. Tan skin hides a lot of imperfections pale highlights them.

ElissaDido · Answer

If it's too pale... maybe. I prefer tanned , olive complexion , but being pale doesn't automatically make you unattractive. I just like a little color , it's more vibrant and feels more alive.

Jefiki · Answer

as an Asian and i dont have pearl white skin, its kinda frustrating when the beauty standard is you have to be skinny and have light skin to be considered pretty. so yeah, it is kinda a privilige if you have it

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Everyone sees pale a little differently. For example me, I'm pale in a way of looking like the clearest porcelain only with freckles.

Blonde401 · Answer

In my experience as a pale girl. Yes. Lots of people have reacted negatively to my pale skin. Tan is in.

Warmapplecrumble · Answer

Every skin tone is equally sexy including pale, olive, yellow, white, brown, black.  Saying one skin tone is sexier than another is ludicrous.

pim217 · Answer

pale because unhealthy? then yes. pale but healthy then id still date her

LaFemmeFatale · Answer

Not for me. Though in Georgia tanned girls are prefered. So people get tanned everytime, they use fake tans or solariums.

rjroy3 · Answer

Super pale skin "can" be unappealing. Like damn, at least try to get some sun through the cloud coverage lol. But in general fair skin isn't a turn off.

menina · Answer

Yes, it's a turn off for me. I prefer tan skinned guys.

Abe90 · Answer

Is being black a turn off? No, but a lot of people won't date black people simply because they're black. Same goes with every skin color

GingerGuy · Answer

No not at all. I prefer pale. Lots of guys do to so even if the poll doesn't suggest that (and right now it does), ignore it.

Levin · Answer

I love pale girls :) Pale always had connotations of purity. So just as long as she's not non-sexual :)

Machiavelli · Answer

Why would any healthy skin be a turn off. I am turned off by skin infections. She is pretty by the way.

clampfan101 · Answer

Not with hair and eyes like those! lol
I don't find it particularly attractive, but wouldn't call it a turn off.
It does look pretty with the snow in the background, which is reminding me of Snow White. lol

catelyntje · Answer

Most people on here are pale what do you think they're going to vote yes it's a turn off for their own skin colour? Nope lol

steveguitar · Answer

No, just be yourself, if you want a natural tan, get one in the summer. If you want a tan in he winter, do do it because it's fake

Tescosfinestmilk · Answer

Well.. I'm whiter than white haha. I wouldn't mind dating a pale guy.

yaanis · Answer

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I only don't like it because pale skin + sun = red subburnr skin

Dale1982 · Answer

Pale skin is lovely with jet black or red hair. My ex had black hair and very pale skin, she was beautiful

OrdinaryGentleman · Answer

I find it nice, inviting almost... though in all honesty i have never met anyone with pale skin... being from hawaii n all, a true rarity... also that girl is bae <3

JohnDoe3000 · Answer

No, not really. But some people have bad skin that tends to become better when they're tanned.

NO! Not at all. It is NOT a turn off. Obviously I'm not attracted to girls so yeah... I don't care if guys have pale skin at all.

Jonestaylor16 · Answer

Nah, generally I find red heads or girl with dark hair and pale skin to be really attractive yeah fuck what the poll says XD

WeirdoWerdo · Answer

I dont find unattractive but not attractive either. Sometimes being tanned is really not attractive at all.

archiz · Answer

All is good Skin colour isn't a preference of mine

Spaceman1985 · Answer

As a man with a weakness for Goths, metalheads and the like, I love pale skinned women!

Texasmade1 · Answer

Lol no. I like all kinds just like most guys so it doesn't matter.

blondfrog · Answer

No its not a turn off. But just cause your pale won't make you automatically attractive either. I can find just about any skin color attractive.
