i should maybe specify ''in the west'' in the east light skin is sort of important too, but also men's looks are less important there overall, so it basically ends up as the same as the west.

''b-but jbw'' white dudes are liked because of their high status and not coloring, otherwise a very pale skinned asian would have equal or 2nd highest smv to whites, but it doesn't work that way, black>asian in smv. heck, i think they are close to equal to white dudes now tbh, whereas nothing is equal or close to white girls besides very pale asians or white-passing latinas.

skin bleach is harder to do than any looksmaxx technique too
