Search Results: pale skin

21 year old Black girl here. Throughout most of my life I've been mostly attracted to other Black girls, but also really anyone with darker skin. They didn't necessarily have to be EXACTLY as dark as me, but someone you can look at and say like "yes they're a shade of brown or tan, looks like they could tan easily" and not "yes they're completely pasty white and pale, looks like they'll just burn easily." Which to me normally meant I wasn't attracted to White girls, unless they were biracial/mixed and therefore not completely White anyway.

However... more or less recently, I realized that with TANNED White girls it's a completely different story. I first realized this with one of my White friends who in the winter was completely pale like a stereotypical Goth who avoids the sun at all costs, but in the summer suddenly gained a beautiful golden brown tan like a stereotypical preppy girl who absolutely loves pools and beaches. My physical attraction to her went from I kid you not: basically 0 to 100. It's not like she looked bad when she was very pale, she was in fact still very pretty, she just didn't do anything for me. But with her skin a beautiful golden brown color... oh yes. She just looked so... for the lack of better words, "HOT." Like someone who isn't afraid to go out and run around in the sun.

Since then I've tried to see if this was something exclusive to just my friend, or just a general thing... and it turned out to be a general thing. Whenever I saw a completely pale White girl, no attraction... an at least slightly tanned one though? Oh boy...

There's nothing wrong with completely pale skin, and I realize tanning can be quite unhealthy, especially if extreme... but it's just a physical attraction thing.

I attached 3 pictures to show the type of thing I mean. As you can see, none of the 3 women are COMPLETELY pale. They all seem to obviously get some sun. Good view of the thighs too. Not just a tan face and arms.

In my culture, fair skin is considered more attractive but that didn't stop me from being exclusively attracted to caramel-skinned men when I was younger. Darker skinned Indian girls were more attracted to light-skinned Indian guys. A lot of people call such a skin "muddy" while it reminds me of chocolate and caramel 😌

Now I have become mature enough to not care too much about skin colour. I like really pale skin as well as reddish brown skin. What is desirable in the West?

I like all of these colors. I only wish there would be a medium green shade or a forest green shade available in the future.

White = innocent vibe, would look like a fairy BUT could be too bland + easy to get dirty
Lilac = pretty much the same as the white
Pink = I find it really cute, a happy color, good for summer BUT too barbie like I guess
Burgundy = lovely / a bit overwhelming
Black = classy, good choice for going out in the evening as well but for the day?

I ask because I can't decide on my own.
