if this particular man's preferences are more inclusive than the culture at large's, his complimenting a feature that's not culturally sanctioned still actively upholds and reinforces the overall idea that women exist to be judged. And as long as that idea exists, someone is always going to be telling women that even if society now finds dark skin [or whatever other feature] attractive, it doesn't really matter because she's still got to conform by doing Y procedure or buying Z cosmetic.
