I think alot of this is media influence. Many actresses/celebrities have dark skin, whether by tanning or naturally, and I think this has rubbed off onto both men AND women as being normal and beautiful. How I wish pale skin was in vogue again. I used to be dark skinned, as I am part Cherokee, but my skin has lightened over the years and now I'm pretty much white. I don't fake tan, and I don't use bronzer. I also have dark hair and dark eyes and would look ridiculous as a blonde....if I ever considered it. I like my hair dark, and I tend to think that dark haired men AND women are more attractive...but that's just me. Besides, how boring would it be if everyone looked the same?
