Search Results: brown or black hair

I'm not posting a picture of myself but I will describe. I'm asking this question because I never thought of myself as very attractive, I mean I think I'm good looking, but I can make a mile long list of things I'd want to change about my looks, but I keep getting "the look" from women (especially black women) when they see me, even though I don't want anything to do with dating in general at the moment. I'm around 6' tall and about 215 pounds, I'm not fat I'm a little chubby but pretty muscular from years of weightlifting and have very broad shoulders, but looking to lose some weight. I have long brown hair that goes just past my clavicle when pulled in the front and a beard thats short with a 1.5 inch goatee, but the hair on my cheeks haven't fully thickened yet (my mom says I look like Silent Bob with my hat backwards). I also have a very square face and very dark green eyes that are often mistaken for dark blue.

I am black, but I have a white mother, and though my facial features look like that of a black person, my skin color is much closer to my mother's than my father's. I basically sort of look like a black person with skin almost as pale as a white person. Sort of like this.

My girlfriend, however. She is white, blonde hair, blue eyes, typical white people traits. Usually, by default, she is slightly lighter than me... not by a lot, but she is.

However, she likes to go to the pool and beach a lot, and when she gets a tan, she becomes WAY darker than me, lol. Sort of like this.

As such, I find it extremely ironic that even though she's white, her skin is often times darker than my own due to tanning. She's white, I'm black, but sometimes she's darker than me. As such, it feels rather ironic to refer to her as "white", lol.

I know that tanning won't change your race, but in that time while her tan is really on, I wish I could refer to her as "gold" or "brown" rather than "white", because that's what she looks like.
