Light skin looks more hygienic?

[QAZAQ]

Untanned pontids look pale.

Pontid have III TYPE SKIN







If Pontids have a pale skin then they are mestizo or not a Pontid

light skin shows up imperfections, such as pimples, more than dark skin

clear light skin is a sign of good health

someone with v dark skin could have all sorts of blemishes, and you'd hardly know

But, light skin also can show good facial features like prominent zygos, sharp jawline, dimples better. It's a 0 1 thing.

Light skin is only an adaptation to the climate. Nothing to do with a "social" selection.

no its not entirely climate based, especially among mongoloid populations. even sea asians and native americans can be very light and they live on the equator.

Lol, you are black washing pontids. Meanwhile, even Yamnayas must had them on the Southern parts.

We have that selection in modern times, even the best looking blacks are chosen among paler ones, averagely Caucasian men&A Asian women do better on online dating, meanwhile Indian&black men and women have hard times. There's no culture favoring darker skin except some African tribes probably. I think in the ancient times it had also an impact.

I agree but what I wanted to say is that light skin is the result of an adaptation to climate not social selection.

People want to be the more "pale", and the more "white" possible. It's ridiculous, especially in mixed ethnicities or W.Asians.

Mongoloid race probably evolved for very harsh winters. They have long torso, short legs to keep body heat, short noses preventing getting frostbite, slanted eyes to preventing eyes freezing, light skin to get enough D.
However, when they migrated Americas, they had different criterias to be naturally selected. Hunter gatherer native Americans had Cromagnish features and robustness probably due to hunting selection.

West Asian? Tbh I have never seen people using bleaching creams here.
Indians and Subsaharans use them so much especially their women.

No but on brown skin, stretch marks and scar remains usually gets darker, that's not too aesthetical. There is a word in hungarian which can be used in an ugly context refering to brown people, usually gipsies. 'Koszos' which means dirty

[Rouxinol]

Darker complexions tend to look too oily and dirty. Some Indians/Pakistanis and Middle Easterners have this yellowish brown skin tone that makes them look like they're sick. I've noticed too that some blacks and Indians/Pakis/Middle Easterners usually have a yellowish tint to their eyes' sclera, as if they had hepatitis.

You've never seen Levantines or Arab people that use blue eyed lens and dye heavily their hair to be more "NW" looking ?
