Why do some dark skinned men only date light skin women?

I feel you Bellz23. I read that this often happens because these men think a light-skinned woman is as close to a white woman that they can comfortably get. The roots to this is believed to date back to post slavery days.

Dark skinned men who dislike dark skinned women have superiority complexes, they are ashamed of these women and only denounce them to cover up the fact that they are actually ashamed of themselves.

Be more open minded and don't concentrate one those darker brothers that only date lighter skinned women. There are some dark skinned brothers out there that like dark skinned women to. I often have to remind myself not to say,"whats is wrong with our community',because when I say that I'm being judgmental, and when I do that I become part of the problem and not the solution.

I'm not perfect and I have negatives in me,and I would like to be perceived as a person in change for the better good,as shall we also perceive our people if we want something good to come out of them.

I think alot of it is opposites attract...we seek what we don't have!

There are also alot of stereotypes that come with having dark skin in many non first world countries. Some places, especially in South East Asia, view dark skin as a lower class characteristic, as it implies their family spends their days toiling in the fields. So in their minds, having light skin is a sign of coming from a higher class!

But in your buddys case, probably just opposites attract!

Seriously though, I'm always attracted to brown eyes, never blue. Although I think blue or green eyes are beautiful for the color, I am drawn to the brown eyed men. Same with hair.

Drawn to medium dark brown or brownish blonde but never light blonde. It's what makes the world go 'round, sweetie. Could you imagine what would happen if we were all attracted to the same thing?

There wouldn't be enough to go around! All this talk about the roots of slavery and superiority is baffling. Maybe it's just a matter of taste.At the risk of offending someone (I pray I don't) Please move on.

Stop seeing your 'brothers' as if they are doing something wrong. It sends two messages.1) you may have a problem with darker peoples' judgement 2) you may have a problem with lighter people. Respect the choices other people make for themselves and smile when you are the chosen one.

Because of the color complex prevalent in the Black American community. Many dark skinned Black men view the light skinned woman as a goddess to be placed on a pedestal. Many dark skinned Black men have been inundated by society that the dark-skinned Black woman is ugly and unattractive while the light-skinned Black woman is the most beautiful woman on this Earth.

Many dark-skinned Black men only date light-skinned Black women because they are approximate the Caucasian image. To many dark-skinned Black men, the light-skinned Black woman represents the Caucasoid image and is as near-white as they want to date without crossing the color line.

Many dark-skinned Black men, especially if they are more educated, successful, and affluent, date the light-skinned Black woman because she represents class, breeding,status, and affluence while the darker-skinned Black woman approximates the image of the lower class ghetto woman.

First of all let's be honest and real. We all know it has something to do with our own self esteem and how we have been taught over the years about light verses dark, even in our own families they made it known. Number one, I think brown skinned women are gorgeous and there are lots of not so gorgeous light skinned women who think they are gorgeous because, they have been told that.

Some of us go with what is more acceptable in society eyes. It will begin to make some women feel small about themselves and yet those same women will still try to build a dark skin brother up. I say this from watching my sister's best friend who once asked her man, "why do you treat me this way?" he asked, "what the hell are you talking about?

" She said, abusing me and telling your boys the reason you don't take me no where is because, I am ugly as hell, I heard yo whole conversation with Jay and Rod.

He told her, Bitch you need to do something with yo hair, grow some ass and while yu at it lighten up so you can righten up. " I was 14 years old when I heard this conversation. That made me pay close attention to how men, especially black men see dark skinned women.

Today this woman is married to a german man with 4 children. Why was she not good enough for the black man and did she stray away from black men because they made her feel bad about being dark skinned? Well, I can tell you that she has often stated that she would never date a black man again only because she was never accepted by them because of her dark skin.

This is not saying that all black men are like this but, if you ask, the majority would say they perfer light skinned women over dark skinned. Loving and accepting yourself mean so much more than someone else loving and accepting you. We all have our preferences.

Sorry but, I still don't get red hair, pink skin, brown freckles, and green eyes. But, it's called beauty to some people. These people walk with heads high feeling superior to those of us that our own people consider unattractive and embarrassing.

But, we are all free to love who we want and to love as we please. Take that and know you have choices.

A lot of brown skinnmen are attracted to dark skinn women. Statistics has said that light skinned men are attracted to dark skin women because the are very confident. While you have light skin women they are some what submissive.

Dark skin women have can a long way because of there skin complex. While light skin women believe that they can have any man that they want.

Light skin men are more conceeded than dark skin men. I'ts just a rough edge to the dark skinn man and Yes it is attractive............................

They like white twang...I'm white...I like dark twang as well...does that mean that I have a superiority complex...I think not...other women get jealous...and envious...how 'bout that...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
