^yes the beauty ideal in india/pakistan is big dark eyes/fair skin/dark hair/long thin nose. I've seen a sikh boy with dark blond hair(he was around 14 years old), which is pretty rare for an indian but not impossible.
annunaki, I dont really know why so many people I saw were slightly mongoloid looking but that's what I saw and I mentioned it or maybe I'm just seeing chinkyness everywhere. ;D

Not to mention he doesn't spell like an 8-year-old. I'll settle with that. Now take your jealousy of the Nords to kindergarden where you can squirt sand on the other children. cocacola:I've never liked long noses. It can look good on a few men (depending on the form of the face) but never on women. It looks sinister somehow. I have a friend here who's 100% Swedish (pale skin, blue eyes, lovely red hair) and most Swedes think she's Slavic for some reason. I think it has to do with the nose, it's quite long and pointy. But maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by 'long'. Do you have a picture of such a nose? I think dark hair combined with pale white skin (the woman in the picture above sure isn't fair-skinned) is a very beautiful combination. I do prefer the eyes to be fair, but in the end it's the shape and size of the eyes that really matters. I like big, almond-shaped eyes (like mine ;D). Swedes sadly have rather small eyes. Not all of course, but most. However, their eye colour make it up good! My best friend has dark brown hair, extremely white skin (she can't tan) and big perfectly green eyes. When we go out, people always assume we're sisters. She doesn't look Swedish (or Swedish-German as she really is). She looks European though. I guess if her skin was a bit browner she'd pass for a Med.

Her nose is long. Dark hair with light skin is a beautiful combination indeed but only if the light skin is non freckled and non pink. A lot of pakistani women have that look including most of the women in my family. The reason I dont find nordics generally attractive is because their eyes are usually small, their skins are freckled, their noses are upturned and they are pale all over(their hair/eyes/skin everything). But there are always exceptions.

But there are always exceptions. Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. In Ireland almost everyone has freckled skin, whether they have darker or lighter hair or eyes. In fact the blondest people have the least freckled skin of all. I have dark brown hair, brown/red beard, green eyes and very freckled skin, which is pinkish between the freckles. I don't really tan, but in the summer I get more freckles and the existing ones get bigger. In early April here (New York city) I went out without sunblock and got sunburnt. About 10 years ago I went to the beach and wore sp 45 (strong sunblock) all day, but paddled in the water for about 20 minutes. Some of the sunblock must have washed off. Later I had a very bad sunburn on my lower legs and ankles, actually second degree burns, and by that evening the whole area has swelled up, then blistered, then I lost all the skin 24 hour later. I ended up in bandages for 2 weeks or so. One of my sisters and brother have even fairer skin, and have never gone out in the sun without sunblock and some form of hat and long-sleeved shirt on. If they don't they will get sun stroke or sun poisoning. Both of them fear getting cancer if they are exposed to the sun. The mother of my daughter is of Italian/French descent, and so I'm pleased that my daughter has olive skin - she will be able to get a sun tan without risking ending up in hospital

I have a lot of Irish ancestry and also suffer with the sun. I have dark brown hair (but was very blond as a young child) brown eyes and very pale freckless skin. I have "solar urticaria," if I spend more than 15 mins in strong sunlight without a high factor sunblock I come out in horrendous nettlerash (urticaria). I look like someone has thrashed me with a whole nettle-bush, it's very, very uncomfortable and takes about 3 days to subside. The price paid for countless generations of ancestors who spent most of their time in the rain!
There is a type I have noticed in Britain which combines blond or fairish hair with a convex nose (not necessarily large or "beaky" but definitely convex).
Regarding the aesthetics of eye colour it is notable that pale eyes were considered unattractive for a considerable period of European history. Between the Renaissance and about 1760 the majority of portraits were painted with the sitter depicted with eyes in the brown or hazel spectrum, regardless of what colour the eyes of the sitter actually were.
Personally, I dislike very pale eye colour, especially that pale, colourless light grey (reminds me of frogspawn - a gelatinous circle with a black dot in the middle). The other mental picture very pale eyes generate for me is that of the eyes of a fish on a fishmonger's slab.

Wow, you guys seem to be extreme! My German-Swedish friend who can't tan gets red and sensitive if she stays too long in the sun, but that's all. She has very little freckles on her nose (same with my redhaired friend). Scandinavians who are freckled all over are very few and mostly redheads. Most blonde Scandinavians tan very easy actually and they're not at all very freckled. I think that's a difference between them and say the Irish and Scots. During the summer here you see plenty of tanned Swedes with pale hair (the sun bleaches their hair naturally). It looks fab! My husband can tan so much he almost gets a mulatto colour! I'm afraid when he does though because you never know with skin cancer. Obviously if noses are too long they are considered ugly in Pakistan. I like big eyes too but when they are too big it looks ugly. Her nose is long. Okay, that was not as long as I first thought. My Slavic-looking friend has a very thin and pointy nose completely different to that on the picture and not at all common in Sweden. Concerning colours, I'm very attracted to both dark and fair (even extremely fair) people as long as the symmetry of the face is good and it's a pretty face. I wouldn't turn down a beautiful-looking extremely white man for an ugly dark man just because of the colours and vice versa. I think that goes for most people.

Exactly. Skin color isnt that important if a person's beautiful. A beautiful black somalian will get the same attention from most men as an equally beautiful blond swede woman.
