Re: What is this obsession with light skin??
lol. Good topic.
As they say: Beauty is in the eye of beholder.
(Some Sharabi say: Beauty is in the eye of beer holder)
Anyhow, Black, white or in between.
They all are and can be beautiful and charming.
Turn off the light and everything including color of skin is same .... (Winking)
OK. Seriously speaking. Skin color as 'smooth' (same throughout without blemish; dark or light , doesn't matter), acceptable features and figure, plus a great mind, personality, intelligence, intellectual sense is what should be looked for when looking for a mate. Nothing wrong in it.
Now if someone himself or herself is not so good looking with other good qualities missing, then compromise is alright.
Everyone is after middle ground, Jet black want to be lightened and milky white want to tan.
So Pakistani are the winner from north indian sub-continent.
