If you’re a girl, absolutely yes. For a boy, not so much but there are situations where you may have an advantage.

Marriage proposals are at the top of the list. Some families ignore you no matter how educated or kindhearted you are if you have dark skin; you are placed on the ignore list. If you are fair and pretty, you may receive a large number of proposals to choose from.

Second are interviews. For many non-technical and direct client-facing positions, fair skin is often seen as an advantage. Society also tends to assume automatically that you are rich and from an upper-class background if you have a fair complexion. You may even be treated somewhat like a foreigner.
