Oh my, that question again... In Thailand, many of my friends were shocked that I didn't seem to care about getting dark (not that I'm at any risk of that... ), others, who either had encountered some tourists at beaches or had heard stories about them found it hard to believe that I never ever took a sun bath. So, they asked, you like white skin. Not particularly, I said. Would you like to have dark skin, then? Nope, neither that.
I spent quite some time explaining to people that I dindn't care what exact colour my skin is/gets, I just don't want to end up with a sun burn, that's all. I don't want to waste my time with sun-bathing and risk skin cancer, but I don't care about being exposed to the sun when I do any outdoor activities, as long as I have my sun cream with me. For that reason (always having to remember not to forget the sun-cream) I do think that in places like thailand dark skin would be something useful to have.
As for the looks, I'm glad we do not all look the same. Going around asking what is more beatiful is not the right way to look at it, in my opinion.
Personally, I'm happy with the colour I have, and if I had any other colour I would be just as happy with it.
