I'm in the olive/tanned category and I find I tend to be drawn to the extremities for Caucasian women.
1) The pale, porcelain-skinned, very slender type of girl, perhaps introverted -- frail and delicate, long neck, artistic, that sort of thing. If she's a dancer, it'd probably be ballet or ballroom. Those tend to unlock male instincts in me that want to protect her and care for her (hope this is not perceived as sexist).
2) Then I like also the tanned girl who is athletic -- outdoors type. Into yoga, gymnastics, aerobics, kickboxing, this sort of thing. If she's a dancer, it might be something like hip-hop. I like those because they can keep up physically and tend to be very aggressive and playful.

I think it comes down to diversity, it's not a general rule but I think subconsciously there are a lot of people attracted to diversity. It's the reason we have stereotypes in America about foreign women being sexy and phrases like 'opposites attract" many people like variety.
I've never really thought about it. I'm tan/olive/brown and both my exes were actually darker than me. But I've had crushes on pale ass white guys and dark af black guys, and even other olive/tan skin guys.
I've never really taken skin color into consideration. If I find them attractive, then I find them attractive and that's it.
I'm attracted to guys of all colors but I can't deny the fact that most of the guys I'm into are darker than I am.
But then again light skinned guys tend to go after dark skinned girls but it only really applies to my race at least for me with any other whether they're darker or lighter usually doesn't matter/differs.
By my understanding, attraction is largely genetic. People are most attracted to people who would be complementary to their own genetics. Given that most people are mixed to some extent, it offers a range of options. Then, those preferences are affected by societal influences (prejudices).

There seems to be an instinctual component to seeing beauty. Like a 6th sense. The media may pump us full of Kim K but we just know it when we feel it. Awareness of race differences is taught and learned. Watch kindergarten kids not taught race awareness. They just see pretty.
In Germany many German women who are pale skin are attracted to men with Mediterranean/Latin American look like this:
1.bp.blogspot.com/.../Bruno-Cabrerizo2.jpgFor me as a dark skinned (black) girl, I don't mind, I have the palest boyfriend and it's just fun being complete physical opposites. Whether we picked each other because of that, I'll never know. But other than looks we are pretty similar, so I'm not sure if we are opposites
Yes... so...

Hey had to do it lol XDWell obviously depends on the person but I like all colored guys of all races. If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be white guys. I'm Puerto Rican and Jamaican by the way, so I'm a brown girl.
Hmm. Good question. I know a lot of black (women) "with dark eyes and hair" that are dating white guys with blue eyes and blonde hair... so that is possible that opposite attracts! but it also depends on the person.
I'm extremely pale and if someone is dark skinned and unattractive their skintone won't magically make them more attractive to me. I've heard that before but I think it's really just a myth :P
all the people you showed i consider white skin. lol
Sure, no problem, ili po naški, suprotnosti se privlače, iako se ne slažu baš uvijek i u svemu ;)
No, in fact studies show that most people date within their race.
i prefer pale skinned girls more than dark/tan girls.
girls glow more when pale- light skinned which is beautiful and feminineI'm tan and I'm not attracted to pale or white skin guys. I like him to be within the same tone as me but funny many pale skin guys like me haha!
i personally am drawn to tan and darker skin more, and I'm tan myself, but i dont rule pale people out at all.
It can go that way sometimes but i don't think it's something i think about i like who i'm attracted to light, dark, pale or otherwise.
I like white bitches and im probably just a little darker than the second guy there. I don't actually think consciously but rather just usually turns out to white skinned/ features im attracted. Im in love with blonde hair and blue eyes honestly and feel they are too. But i do like latinas and black girls just not as much in general
I guess so. I definitely am attracted more to tanned dudes. Pale is cool too though, but only if you're literally a vampire.
I think they happened to be attracted to that person. I don't think they were purposely picked because of their skin tone
Not in my case. I'm somewhat pale, and I tend to be more attracted to women who are also pale.
People like who they like and I don't see any "dark skinned" people in those pictures by the way.
i am olive skinned, and i have been attracted to various people. Mostly Hawaiian and Asian.
