i feel very low esteemed because of my dark complexion. I wished always to be fair and attractive. This problem exists since 35 years and it has not changed me much. I always felt that i wanted to be fair looking and attractve to others. It puts me down to socialize easily with the others especially with the opposite sex. any help to make myself fair.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dark skin and it looks fabulous on so many people. I personally don't think that your skin is a problem, so much that the problem is in your head. Maybe you should see professional help for your self esteem. Also, your skin color may not be what's driving away members of the opposite sex. That could be your low self esteem (how can anyone else like you if you don't like yourself). You may show that in your actions and appearance. Make an effort to look good, and confidence is key... probably more important than anything else.

This isn't what you want to hear. I don't know how dark you are but I'm jealous of dark complected girls. I don't mean girls who are tan and fake all year 'round, I mean Indian or African girls. I'm fair and, yes, sometimes I look in the mirror and I like what I see, but a lot of times, I look at girls with way darker skin than me and I wonder how nice it would be to look like that.
The point is that no matter what you look like, someone always looks better. BUT that very person could be looking at you and wishing they had your looks. You have to get over this and start realizing that you were created to look exactly how you look. No mistake was made when you were created. With your dark complexion, you get to wear different kinds of make up than what I get to wear. I would love to wear something dark, but it would look clownish on me. You can probably wear, pink, red, burgundy, green, even orange if you're feeling wild?? haha. Same with clothes. Be thankful for your differences. Fairness doesn't equal attractiveness.

Don;t try to make yourself fair. I have wished I was dark for over 50 years, When I was growing up, blond and blue eyed were all that you saw in ads and on TV, now the ethnic look is really where its at. I would trade pale skin for dark skin, hair, eyes any day. You never have to look washed out. You can definitely be attractive with dark skin whomever started the myth that fair was best was plain crazy.

There are many, many beautiful dark skinned women, and many men prefer it. that's the beauty of life! Perhaps you need a new look to boost your self esteem. go shopping for new clothes, if you're overweight, go on a diet & excersise plan. Change your hair and get some new makeup. Be happy with yourself and that will attract others to you.

hai
first of all we should change the attitude that dark complexion is not attactive. This is world sexiest complexion. take bipashabasu and namratha(miss india),laradutta(missworld) all are in dark complexion.
don't take serious about the complexion.
i can say one Quote that "personality can open doors but charcter keep open that always".
every one likes charcter and sucuess and think much about fairness.

Hey! Be proud to yourself no matter what you are. I used to think like that too. I wanted to be white. But not anymore. I came from Philippines and have tan skin. So, I just love the way I am now, even before. Don't be shy too for socailization. We're same creatures on earth. Same specie. We're all created equal. And, love will find you. Walk with your head high, and smile. :)
