I wouldn't have to question or constantly worry about how attractive or feminine I appear to the opposite sex. all the negative things said about black women especially dark black women in the media would not affect me. I'd be able to open up an African American magazine and see women who resembled me. Dating the opposite sex would be so much easier. If there was some type of surgery that could make me look naturally mixed like Lauren London, Rihanna or Beyonce I'd be the first in line to get it. I really wished my family would have mixed the gene pool a lot more. I don't know what they were thinking, it's like they didn't take into account how hard life would be on their offspring (especially for girls) by mating with each other.
#1 Believe in yourself. Your positive attitude will make you more attractive.

#2 Stop being so impressionable. Who cares what the media says or thinks. Plenty of others do and don't. It seems like they are in your head.

#3 Someone of any race could love you for who you are.

#4 Don't you dare get plastic surgery simply to look "mixed" IMO. I am sure you are fine as is.

She's attractive but in the black community she still doesn't have a higher social standing than say keri Hilson or Rihanna.

Who the hell CARES? You put waaaaayyyyy too much stock in what you imagine other people think.

I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of people aren't thinking about you or your skin tone at all. They're way too busy thinking about themselves -sort of like you are.

She does if she deports herself well. If you are talking about the entertainment industry, it might be a different story, but that isn't real life. In real life who you are is far more important than how you look.
