Being of Bulgarian parentage I have a tan coloring, I am not sure if that gives me an advantage or not.
Is it just me or do the photos look altered in every one where the person is tan, like it was taken after they got a lot more in shape? xD
Nah; they're the same.
I don't find tan skin more attractive than pale skin
"Pale skin is ugly and it's culturally and biologically rooted in us to see it that way" - I guess I am somehow from a different culture to you and have different biology then, because I don't think pale skin is unattractive let alone *ugly*
In some of those pictures they looked better pale, soooooooo
Tanned skin is currently about as fashionable as smoking. Both lead to premature aging and are discouraged by health care professionals. When I see someone with a tan I think "too stupid to use sunscreen."
I don't really have a preference in terms of skintone but I do prefer darker hair and darker eyes on both genders. My love interest has dark eyes and dark hair and he is pale.
I am a westerner and also prefer pale skin. And it is also a cultural norm in the west. Remember sleeping beauty "whos the fairest of them all"? Fair as in pale... Facial powders were in vogue in the renaissance to lighten the skin.
Tanning was a lot more popular in the 70s and 80s. Sunscreen wasn't a thing. I remember rubbing sun tan oil on a girl's back. It was not sunscreen, it was just moisturizer.
Now not many lie in the sun to get skin damage.
to be honest i think pale skin on guys looks sexy. always have. but i think girls look better tanned.
I think pale girls are very sexy.
Remembers me of:

Pale isn't ugly; you just think it is. Honestly, most of those people in the pictures you showed looked better without the tan.
I disagree.
I think pale girls are so cute. No skin cancer and their skin won’t turn into an orange 20 year old wrinkly leather.
Actually many people like the porcelain color, or the cocoa color, or the medium color, or the bright blue color (jk there) but seriously, people have the right to their own preferences
Speak for yourself. I genuinely find pale skin far more attractive.
Maybe because it is related to look more attractive and sexy and also tan skin seems body to look more toned and fit.
Personally I never found tan skinned any more attractive. In fact I like women with milky white skin.
That's wonderful! There are also men who find fat women attractive. There's exceptions to everything and to each their own!
Exactly!
My only add: nothing sexier than a thong tan lines on a women.
It depends, some people look better with pale skin, some look better with dark skin. But yeah, i've always been more attracted to tan men.
I don't think ANY culture likes tan skin especially if it is naturally darker. Asians are just more honest about it.
Actually Asians would frequently write poetry about tanned skin because it was considered beautiful. They still do even now but to a lesser extent because of the British colonisation of India which caused it to divide as well as the conditioning that left them with pathetic complexes. It’s obvious tanned skin is more attractive because it makes things look more chiseled. Salma Hayek is not coveted for no reason.
Whoa! some of these comparisons are making me think they have a sun burn! OUCH!
Solarium, not real sun. Their shades are totally unnatural.
I'm supposed to say yes tan ismore attractive but i found photos on the left much more attractive. I think it is personal taste.
