Well, whenever a discussion about this comes up, I hear that many women talks about how much they desire someone who is "dark-skinned with dark hair and dark eyes." I think there must be a psychological factor at play here. Do you women believe that men with darker features project more dominance or power than those with lighter features?
I think most of us have a picture in our minds at a young age of what you want your husband or wife to look like.
I know I had a huge crush on the actor James Garner for many years. Then when I saw my future husband for the first time, he had the same features. Very, very handsome, medium-light skin color, dark brown beautiful hair (I liked rubbing my fingers through his hair), his eyes were greenish with a splash of brown in them. He was so sweet to me. à fell in love instantly and got married within weeks 🙂.
Men with dark features are just better to look at too. Like eye candy for the women. 🍬
I don't think this applies to all women. Dark features are fairly common where I'm from. I must say I love dark hair the most but not necessarily dark eyes and skin. I can't resist the allure of sexy lighter eyes and skin colour is not so crucial for me. I used to think fair skin was feminine but now I have a huge crush on a pale-skinned man with blue eyes.
I don't understand why men with a milky white skin try to add colour. Their dark hair and fair skin are such an attractive combination. I also like when the beard is somewhat golden. Therefore, saying that darker men are preferred is a generalisation.
Just because it isn’t the norm. There is no conscious reason. It’s just nature trying to diversify for the sake of the gene pool.
In countries with dark skinned people they bleach their skin and hair to look like white people; the equivalent to white people getting a tan. That shows that the dark skin appeal isn’t universal, it’s just whatever is rare in that geographic region being perceived as special instead of practical qualities.
Darker ones definitely appeal to women. Most of my female friends prefer it because it's more common. I don't know, many women think they are more interesting as people, maybe they are more charismatic. but my mum doesn't like this type of beauty but she's one of those women who preferred nice and well-mannered men. It seems to me that women prefer a self-confident male guy for the most part and the darkness is associated with it.

Generally, I don’t care for my partner’s skin color or eye color, but I strictly prefer dark hair. I might be open to dating men with lighter hair colors in the future, but they don’t appeal to me as much. I must admit, I lean more towards tanned skin than light/dark skinned. tanned guys just have that “hottie” look, y’know? It mainly depends on his facial features though. If his face is good and personality is amazing, I’m in.
s I don't think that it's like that for all women. My sister has a friend who prefers pale men. I guess it has nothing to do with dominance nor power.
For me dark features are just attractive, maybe it's because I grew up around people with those features. But I recently found out that I'm attracted to pale men with light hair.
I am not sure if this applies to me. I personally find that it’s subtle things that draw me in- how they conduct themselves, their jawline (odd I know), the intensity of their eyes. It definitely a thing for me that they have to be taller then me (I’m only 5’7) my previous partners all had the above things I’ve listed physically. I will say that some men acentuate their handsomeness with darker features. But ultimately I like how they conduct them selves the most.
Dark eyes? Unlikely
Generally, dark blonde guys (most popular group in central Europe) are darker than their sisters because of hormones. However there is a threshold where dark features become deterrent. Indian, semitic and turkic guys aren't in average considered attractive by European women. It's rather ignore or walk away fraction.
Hmmm, I would say it’s the “exotic” appearance of those features that mostly attracts women. Think about it switched. Women with “tanned” skin (because let me correct you, that is not dark skinned. That is a tanned skin.) darker hair and eyes have more of an exotic appeal in media vs. the lighter featured counterpart.
I’m Barack Obama and I like my woman the same way I like my coffee, strong and black , (just ice).
There’s just something hot about tanned skin.
It’s exotic. I personally love brunettes so, this is right up my alley. 🤤
Facial hair and bad hair cuts have always been a turn-off for me.
I have no idea! But dark skin etc is pretty attractive for some reason ^^
They just look better.
I like the darker skin and hair but lighter eyes
It doesn’t attract me at all.
As a black man I approve of this message
