Tom Bombadil 05/15/19 3:17:19 PM #10:	I always thought it was skin color. Would be kinda weird to sandwich a personality descriptor between two appearance descriptors imo.

mnkboy907 05/15/19 3:20:04 PM #12:	As far as origins go, I think dark basically meant both tan and mysterious, as in 1600s Europe it would refer to handsome foreigners who were mysterious by nature of being foreign, but also tan by virtue of where they were from (and I suppose dark hair also came with the full package). But also in early 1900s Amercia, tans became a symbol of attractiveness and a sign of wealth, so that probably factored into more modern usage of the phrase. --- Change is weird. <cite>mnkboy907 posted [p:921934551] in What does ...

banananor 05/15/19 3:24:15 PM #13:	always took it to mean the same thing as 'swarthy' so a combination of dark hair, skin that isn't super pale and/or just being healthy --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

paperwarior 05/15/19 10:39:39 PM #18:	I think of Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre. When I read it I wasn't sure if his skin is supposed to be dark by British standards. He certainly fits the "mysterious" aspect. --- "God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto <cite>paperwarior posted [p:921954078] in What does ...
