You have dark skin, but you are attractive. Now what did that mean???

Someone said to me today, you know, you are dark skin, but you are attractive. I just froze in my tracks. What on earth?? It is like saying, hey, you are dark and attractive, but not many of you are. Any why did I have to be just attractive, why could I not be pretty, or beautiful, or just plain good looking. Dark skin but attractive, Wow. That was deep. I once had someone say, "you have that animal magnitism." Again, why could it be that I am you know, maybe pretty, goodlooking, or even beautiful. I am not saying I am all that. Wait, maybe I am saying that. I do know that I feel good about who I am, how I look and how big my heart truly is. I feel that I am a beautiful person inside and out, at least I try to be. I am bringing this up for discussion. I want to know what the problem is. I think I have an idea, however, based on experience and lessons I have gotten from some of my other blogs, my idea might not be on target.
Just me - plain,simple and to the point
