Re: Tan skin

A rishta came for me today, but they left saying the wanted a light skinned girl for their boy. The mother said that they wanted a girl with milky white skin, not one who had skin that looked like tea with too much milk in it. THESE ARE EDUCATED PEOPLE!!

I have tan skin, but I also have a degree from an Ivy League university, I speak four languages, I can cook, I have a job. But still that’s not good enough. This is the third rejection on the basis of my skin I’ve gotten. I don’t think I’m bad looking, but I’m so annoyed with this situation. It’s affecting my self-esteem, and it’s making reconsider getting married.

Is fair skin the only thing people look for? I’ve been out of Pakistan for a long time, so this is coming as a bit of a shock to me. Does nothing else matter? How do I tackle this situation?

…woah.

Pathetic behaviour on their part.
