Why are their women white skin and their men brown skin usually? Surely I'm not the only one who has noticed this

Testosterone = Darker Skin

...

Their women allways wear burkas when outside, because of that they dont get any sunlight

Why isn't it as dramatic in Euros tho?
Oh, that makes some sense. They don't all wear burkas so maybe it's just that in general men get more sun.

Because EU men have less testosterone, duh.

Women need more vitamin D
Wrong

Oh, it all makes sense now.

But seriously maybe it's something on their Y-chromosome that evolved from a preference for white skin girls and brown skin guys. I think it's called "sex-linked" genes.

I remember coming across a study that pointed to populations living in medium latitudes being the most sexually dimorphic when it came to (untanned) skin color, maybe you aren't wrong but the greater tanning of men compared to women in the middle east probably contributes to that view too

Just anecdotally this makes a lot of sense. If you go to Africa women and men aren't that sexually dimorphic, and there's got to be a reason whites and Asians have the most convincing femboys. Whereas the average woman and man from the region in OP are really really different.

I've got to read up on this to get my eugenics game up.

keep in mind that I meant Middle Easterners more so than Europeans (especially Northern ones). their data generally didn't support greater skin color dimorphism with increased distance from the equator. but it's been a while so I'd have to recheck it to be sure about the specifics

and honestly, there have been a lot of hypotheses about skin color selection whose truth we barely really know. even the Vitamin D theory has been debated a lot

I remember reading that ancient remains from Scandinavia show more masculine traits in women, making sex identification hard without a pelvis.

I think that was a problem with some other populations from more northern parts too, can't remember which exact ones (I wanna say steppe but not sure right now). might have something to do with the skull or femurs being less sexually dimorphic

japanese man are darker than the japanese woman too
do you think they have more testosterone than the european? i don't think so

Interesting how the oldest remains from amerindians show a really high sexual dimorphism. with big square jawed males and really petite women. Looking different than the current pure ones, even if dna test confirm they're the same.

I haven't followed what you're talking about but from what I've seen, Amerindians generally show basically complete continuity with the latest waves from Siberia only affecting the north.

but as you wrote, even lack of further admixture doesn't mean populations won't further adapt in new environments and change in various ways for various reasons

That remains also showed lots of fight originated fractures marks etc, apparently they lived in a really competitive and violent culture.

In European populations men are lighter than women, but women have lighter hair and eyes.
It happens in my family, I'm pale white asmy father, but both my sister and mother have a tint of tan even in their covered area

the other study I had in mind found that despite the overall trend being lighter women and darker men, some populations especially in Europe followed the opposite trend. but they also discussed potential cultural factors (like tanning the whole body more) affecting the female populations more, at least in Europe

interesting though there's still a lot we don't know about these things

women stay in the house like they should

The difference isn't that huge desu, some people are more brown and so are their sisters, some are more pale

Women have naturally less melanin than men, it has nothing to do with testosterone.

just look at any porn, it happens between white people too

wtf, why do I have to look at porn to notice it? Can't I look at normal people?
Idk I've always just noticed a genetic difference. Just from your picture, the blonde girl has somewhat tan skin, but the other girls not really. They guy is more tan and those boys in the back are definitely brown
