white or tanned skin?

[pKjd]

one things for sure...and i dont care what you guys think...
the colour of your skin makes life alot easier and the colour that hands it on a platter is white... nuff said (esp in the west)

o rly?

I know this sounds like a stupid thing to ask but which do you prefer to see in a person? I've been noticing lately that about 99.8% of people I know prefer to see a person with tanned skin. Why is that? What makes tanned skin so attractive over white skin?

Well coming from another 'non-white' person, I'd say its just a matter of preference. I live out here in the L.A. area (California) and just about all the girls out here look good in their tan^^ (and 99.9% of the guys out here would agree)... Whether its a fashion trend or not, most chicks really do improve their look with it on. My girl is pretty cute with or without a tan (she tends to have real pale skin as well)... and since summer is just around the corner, I get to see her season look one more time! XP... But anyway, yeah, it's just a matter of preference. The environment you grew up in may also play a factor in what you consider 'beauty' in a person as well...
