I likes fair skin and dark hair, but I don't like dark hair and pale skin. The reason why is because of it have to look natural to look good. A "person of color" may natural have black or brown hair at the same time having a relatively fair or light skin. Examples are north-Indians, East-Asians and South-Europeans. They've naturally brown skin and it often goes nicely together with dark hair. When they've a lighter skin than the average population, they still have a beige or yellow-brown like tone.
When a pale person dyes their hair dark, it would usually look unnatural and the contrast would be too sharp. Pale people usually have pinkish or orange like skin instead of yellow-brown and beige. Sometimes they even have blue or green like. I've seen many in Scandinavia and the UK trying it. Often naturally blonde or red heads doesn't suit dark hair like how dark haired doesn't suit hair bleaching.
Even pale blonde people like Eva Green doesn't really suit it, but the reason she still can nicely pull off the black hair is because of she had spray tanned her skin two or three shades darker than her actually tone.
Pictures of Eva Green:
Green had this skin darkness when she dyed her hair black to avoid looking too white in contrast to the black hair.
What pale people would look like if they dyed their hair black without tanning:
Not everyone (whites) can suit a tan either:

Natural looking skin looks much more healthy and much more attractive. I guess I'm similar to you but I have a little color and medium dark hair with hazel eyes. I'm pretty pale though. I think it's totally fine in pretty! You're basically describing how many Chinese or Korean or Japanese and northern European or Russian women look. Those are some of the prettiest women.
I have very pale skin, not even the palest foundation matches although it doesn't look like it in my profile pic. I was blonde for a while and I definitely felt like that complimented my skin tone more, that I looked so much better and had more dating interest although that last point could've been down to typical blonde stereotyping rather than a contrast difference.
Pale skin isn't old or basic. Pale skin is beautiful, ethereal and extremely rare on a worldwide basis. The vast majority of the planet has darker skin, so if any skin tone is basic it would be brown/tan.
Anything natural looks better than fake. Don't artificially tan and please, for the love of everything, don't dye your hair.

Your sources suck. Guys overwhelmingly approve of the dark hair and pale skin combination. Tans are falling out of favor, and guys who like darker toned women are going for women who are naturally darker.
If a girls is pretty she is pretty regardless of her skin shade and hair color. For example, black women are my least favorite. However, I find this woman to be very pretty and she very dark.
Even green hair is pretty if the girl is pretty:
I have always liked the pale skin and dark hair combo myself. And while I am fine with tans that have been fairly earned (by outdoor activities) I am not a fan of any artificial tanning.
If she is caucasian, i kind of find it odd but in a good way specially if her hair is curly. I just think that combination is unique even for guys. I know he is not pale but he is still caucasian. It's just too common for me to see Asian girls who are pale with black but straight hair that's why.
I typically prefer white skin. But you bet your ass I check out tanned women too. As for the contrast shit. I don't think it matters. Unique people are generally more appealing to those who don't fit the norm themselves.
I personally find it so beautiful and might even do it myself some day.
Oh I love me some dark hair pale skin ladies. Also love me some dark hair dark skin ladies. I'm just going to throw this out there. All types of ladies with all types of hair and skin tone are hot. If they are hot. They are hot! Pftt.
I'm a traditionalist, I prefer pale skin. The paler the better. I also believe that pale skinned people suit all hair colours. Anybody who says otherwise has no taste.
it works well if you're already good looking, like those models 😂
Dark hair and pale skin is the beauty standard in many places. Mainly Asian countries. It just depends on where you go and who you ask. But none of it should matter. What matters is what you like and how you want to look.
If you have clear porcelain-doll skin, I think it's a sin to tan it.
i like the combination but i may be biased as i dated a lot of goth girls ;)
those people are blind that pale skin and black hair are really hot looks on a girl. if i had a chance i would hook up with one
I think it looks nice, but those girls are TOO pale. Those aren't very good examples.
I have dark eyes, dark hair and pale skin. My boyfriend loves it (he is slightly tan with dark hair and dark eyes)
It absolutely does work well! I think they look very beautiful.
I have dark hair and pale skin. I think I look fine and I think Korean people and Japanese people look fine.
No, please don't. It's the best combination hands down.
I couldn't disagree more with all of that. There are plenty of beautiful pale skinned girls with dark black hair. It's every girl and their dog dying their hair blonde which is annoying.
OH MY GOD i LOVVE WHEN DUDES HAVE DARK ASS HAIR AND V PALE SKIN BRU
