Search Results: tan skin

When I first met my girlfriend I was 16 years old at the very end of high school, and she was 17, but I looked slightly older than her.

At first I only began talking to her because she was a hot, slim and fit blonde with slightly tanned skin who often wore relatively revealing clothes. But soon enough, I began to see she was more than just a typical hot girl. She was kind, and had a lot of sympathy towards others. She was also pretty smart, tackling on 7 AP classes at once, and getting A's and B's in all of them. We also had common interests, such as action and adventure shows and movies, books, video games, anime, swimming, and soccer.

Now fast forward to the now... I'm 21, and she's 22, and we're both through with college, have our own jobs, and live in the same house together.

Naturally, since I began to see her so much I thought it'd get boring. But no, I only grew even closer to her. And thus, began to find her more physically attractive, too.

Sure, our relationship isn't as "puppy love sweet" as it used to be. Now we're more straightforward about things, and point out literally everything... both good and bad about each other. And we do argue pretty often, too.

But it's not out of hate, though. It's more of a roundabout way to say we love each other without being super nice and sappy all the time. More like playful banter, if you will. And almost every time after it happens we're hugging and kissing again in no time anyways.

It may not be the fantasy people dream of when they think of relationships, but that's why it's good... it's real. We can accept we're not perfect.

I don't know if it's an actual thing or just something crazy from my own mind, but white people's skin color seem to vary a lot depending on the lighting, setting, situation, or clothes that they're wearing...

Dark skin color seems to remain relatively consistent in all situations, but white people's skin color seem to vary a lot.

Take my girlfriend... in a selfie we took at home with regular lighting, her skin looks the color it actually is, pale.

But in another photo where she's with her female friends at a football game in rainbow shirts and hot pink short shorts, her skin looks rather golden and tan in the picture (especially on the legs), and so do her friends in the pic who are all the same color as her except for her black friend...

Also, when my girlfriend wears lighter clothes, her skin seems to look more tan in pictures... but when she wears darker clothes, it looks more fair...

But my girlfriend doesn't have any history of tanning, and in real life in front of me her skin is consistently the same color.

This happens with white people in general, not just my girlfriend, but she's the best example I can think of.
