Oh, and there's also the Fitzpatrick Scale:


I believe I'm right between type II and III.
That's the scale I'm used to, and I'm a solid 2 on that scale. In the summer my arms and legs can resemble type 3 because I wear shorts and short sleeves more and those extremities are more exposed to the sun, but in general I'm pretty fair-skinned.

Justin Bieber is very attractive. Shawn Mendes is good looking. Do you have (their) brown eyes? I love white, light-haired guys with dark eyes.

I get you about white girls (and I find those to be very pretty btw, the blondes with blue eyes!). Yeah, just because I don't find some certain races of men attractive doesn't mean that they're repulsive to me. It's like with women. They can be very stunning, doesn't mean I want to sleep with them.


I see. Are your eyes dark too?

anywhere from 16-20 on arms/face, and like a 10 everywhere else

On the first scale, 1-14 look extremely similar but they don't seem to go in a linear light to dark order and some seem an odd shade of purple or green. It makes no sense to me, but I'd say I'm somewhere under a 14.
Maybe I'm turning color blind...

Definitely a type I on the other, sensible.

I rarely burn or tan. Nothing seems to happen even though I spend most of my summers hiking out in the open in the sun and much to my wife's dismay, I often forget sunscreen.

On the Fitzpatrick scale I'm a III or IV depending on the season. I tan quickly and rarely burn.

Nah, you're right. 1-14 is disproportionate from the looks of it:

Are you an ethnic Brit?

One thing about the Fitzpatrick scale is that it lacks a skin tone between II and III. Some people are genuinely olive skinned. Not light brown and definitely not "beige" (whatever that is):

Yep, both my parents and their parents are from here, I haven't gone any further back than that.

Many people here have a similar skin tone to me, especially in the south. The stereotype 'vampire' look is incredibly rare. Most people have brown hair and type III skin. I have brown hair and green eyes, which is a classic III.

Ah, I see. Are your eyes and hair also dark?
