Yellower skin makes you attractive, not tanned! (Study)
source:https://ergo-log.com/carotenoids.html
Carotenoids not sunbeds make you more attractive
Whether you have a light or dark skin, you'll be more attractive the more carotenoids you consume.The amount of melanin, a dark pigment that is stimulated by sunlight, on the other hand, plays no role in attractiveness, say psychologists at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, in an article that has been published in Evolution and Human Behavior.
Carotenoids & skin
Most of the carotenoids we get come from plants. Plants produce them as protection against sunlight. The carotenoid beta-carotene is a – not very effective – precursor of vitamin A. Carotenoids like lycopene and lutein protect the prostate and the eyes, and nearly all carotenoids protect the skin.
Humans find the skin of someone who consumes large quantities of carotenoids healthy looking and attractive, the psychologists noticed. They discovered this when they let a group of subjects play with a computer programme that could change the skin colour of people in photos. The programme could make the skin look more brown, and more yellow.The subjects were asked to make the people in the photos as attractive as possible.
The subjects made the photos more yellow, but not more brown. So it is not the tanning pigment melanin, but the carotenoids in fruit and vegetable that make a skin attractive.
The researchers did experiments with British test subjects, who had to change the faces of white people, and with South Africans, who had to change the faces of coloured people. The South Africans didn't 'brown' or 'whiten' faces either; they 'yellowed' them too.
Explanation
The psychologists think that melanin does not give us any information about someone's health. A skin that has a lot of melanin is probably better protected against UV light, but also manufactures less vitamin D. That's why we are not genetically programmed to find a tanned skin attractive. A skin with a high level of carotenoids gives us meaningful information about someone's health – and so we find that attractive.
So that explains the "Yellow fever" amongst the Misc.
edit: I think when they say "yellow", they are probably referring to olive-skinned (Mediterranean look) as well. Either way, eat your fruit and veggies and you'll look great.

Not surprised that people in SCOTLAND say that tanning effects from the sun aren't attractive. Does the sun even come out there, ever?

Yellow or Olive? Sadly I’m a mixture of olive and red tone, would have been olive but too many sun burns growing up.

Agreed - when I started taking a green shake daily, saw a bit more color in my grecko/roman skin. It was already nice to begin with but the color adds a bit of depth and makes everything look nicer.

I guess I have a light olive skin tone, pretty fair in the winter but able to tan well during the summer although I don’t tan and I don’t spend a lot of time in the sun. I guess I’m not milky white skinned but I’m not really olive skinned either like a lot of Mediterranean Europeans. So I suppose light olive is the most accurate, I guess it’s a product of being half Southern and half Northwestern European.

Nah. I have more of a yellowish skin town in the winter - always look like death. Can't wait till summer when I get that first base coat. Little old lady's tell me I have, and I quote, "such beautiful skin". I never get that in the winter. Science is so full of cope these days.

looks like chit if you eat too much. I was a sweet potato addict for a few years, multiple huge ones everyday and started looking yellow on my face, as well as my whole body. It wasn't even either, different shades on yellow, very very yellow around my nose,mouth and traps lol looked weird af. Makes you look like you got a disease srs don't over do it.
Took a whole year for the yellow to go away deadfknsrs after having zero or very little beta carotene. Now it's 2 sweet potatoes a week max for me

Yes. Science and math formulas is the key to obtaining the truth to what humans find attractive.
Thank you for this awe inspiring insightful piece. I am truly mind blown.
