Recently I was at a small get together at a friend of a friend’s house (really small, 7 women, 3 fellas) when the topic of interracial dating came up. Not just interracial dating but specifically men who like to date white women, and women with lighter skin complexion and “good” hair (I put “good” in quotations because that can be interpreted differently from person to person). Coincidentally all of the women there were dark skinned and honestly I can say 4 of them were really attractive to me. I asked “ladies! If you happen to see a brother walking down the street with a white woman, how would you react?”
Aaaww man! Yall should have seen the scornful eyes! One of them responded “I would want to throw up!”. Another said “that would be a damned shame”… I asked “a damned shame. Really?”...
She responded “ yea, I would feel like we lost another brother to the other side, besides Black guys only date white women because its easier to do and they don’t have to deal with our attitudes!”.. So I said in an antagonizing voice “well maybe yall should tone the attitudes down a little!”.. Of course I was just playing devils advocate and it didn’t end there.
To make a long story short, and minus the alcohol…The overall theme was that lighter skinned women along with white women usually get more attention from men. Me personally I am a fan of women and if your beautiful and sexy (inside and out, oh yea and between the heights of 5’2 – 5’10, and nice and curvy) you’d probably catch my eye. Just like the song said “I like em brown, black, Puerto Rican, or Asian”…
So what do you guys think? Is light skin the right skin? Do you feel like lighter skinned women/ white women get more attention then darker women?
