I'm asian but I have tan skin. I've always had this issue about my appearance because my brothers are light skinned. Sometimes I feel bad about how I look.

Honestly, I find dark skin more attractive and masculine on guys. White guys can sometimes look sickly and lethargic. Just make up for the dark skin with your fashion sense and your personality. Style your hair, smile a lot and wear nice clothes. That'll surely grab peoples' attention. :)

You need to be comfortable in your own skin. You genes determine how you look. My aunt had four kids - two were fair and two were dark. But look on the bright side of things - you don't have to lay in the sun for hours to get what you have naturally. Did you ever think that they may be envious of you because you are naturally tan? Mmmm....

The chemical in our human bodies that is responsible for our eye color, our freckles and our skin tones (from fair to deep mahogany) is called "melanin". The more melanin, the darker our eyes or skin tone. Sunlight draws melanin to our skin surface and protects us with darker skin from harmful radiation. Tribes of people who hail from close to the equator have more melanin protection in their skin, hence, darker skin tones. The equator is closer to the sun and more protection is needed there from solar radiation. Those darker skin tones became inherited traits through generations. Siblings can have different skin tones based on their parental genetic composition. If the ozone layer of our atmosphere were to ever dissipate, go "poof" and be gone (which it could), harmful doses of radiation would pour down upon the Earth and people with light skin tones would get skin cancer. People with protective darker skin tones would have a better chance of surviving, though. Nature has her ways, you see. "Survival of the fittest" and natural selection suggests a course of future events that we cannot predict. We do not know, and it is arrogant to presume that we do know, fit for WHAT?

Don't feel sad about your skin. Don't you know that light skinned individuals are more prone to skin cancer? Our skin normally produces melanin which gives it a tan pigment and this melanin helps us from blocking Ultraviolet Rays of the sun. The sun rays is of course a radiation and radiation is one factor that causes cancer.

I personally like being light skinned. Not only it's healthier but I find it a lot more glamorous.

It's better to be healthy and happy in whatever skin you are born with. I'm sure you and your brothers are equally attractive. ;)
