Why Paler Skin is More Attractive for Women:
This factor mostly comes down to pregnancy and child rearing from what I have gathered. This is because the synthesis of vitamin D and calcification occurring during the development of a child, so the paler the skin the more vitamin D can be absorbed by the skin which benefits the child.
This also links into the fact paler skin is viewed as more innocent as new-borns and children have lighter skin than adolescent men and adults because it is much more important to ensure proper bone development than for skin health during that period of time.
This moves onto the following
Why Tan Skin is More Attractive on Men:
From what I have gathered it is a mix of the fact men on average tend to have more capillaries near the surface of their skin which causes redder undertones which in essence produces a skin of darker appearance, the same can be said for the increase in melanin which means the trait is also somewhat dimorphic.
The logic behind this is that it indicates maturity in terms of development whilst also being able to properly synthesis vitamin D with little sunlight and mate longevity due to be more protected from the UV rays from the sun so less at risk in that regard so can protect offspring.
