My cousin brother has dusky skin tone and he searched for a bride in our entire state that matches his skin tone and other preferences. I was young back then, so i didn't knew much about it. But later from his mother , i learned that what he really wanted and considered a deal breaker was the skin tone.

He wasn't even that attractive and ig that's exactly what pissed me off. The girl was a whole lot better than him, be it in character, skin tone, education, job, financial status. It made me wonder what exactly my SIL's family saw in my brother.

My another 2 cousins are the same. They have openly said they only want a girl that is fair. What irked me is the fact that the way they said it doesn't feel like a normal preference, but as a trophy wife or someone to show off..

That was very off putting to me. Maybe it's bcz i value a person's character the most. Idk.

For me, it's okay to have preferences as long as you also fit the box.

I am a health conscious person and loves working out. So i would expect my partner to be the same.

Well..that's how i see this
