Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

We all know "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". It's very funny even though we say its a subjective, while growing up in a conservative society, I found that when people used to describe any person's beauty, they used to tell about what complexion (skin color) they fall under. 

For me always being dusky skin person [ most dark complexion in almost entire family or extended family], never heard someone saying I look beautiful or nice except some of my close family members and friends. Then when I got into my higher school and college, I started understanding more about it and found that, majority of the society has the same definition as some of my extended family members. Beauty is nothing but a color of a skin for them. If your complexion is fair you are beautiful, if your complexion is brown or dusky or dark, you are not. Men it is still fine whichever complexion they have, as for men society felt its fine, their complexion doesn't matter much. Though its not about which gender you fall under... when majority of the society thinks that way.
