Color struck black girls do be going crazy over light bright brothers but being dark skin as a man OR woman does not stop ALL black people from wanting you.
It be Flavor flav and Precious crying about being dark skin is stopping them from getting attention from black people. The real is for looks you're ugly and below average

and its not because your dark skin you're just ugly. Idris Elba and Kenya Moore are dark skin too and I black women or men would have no problem physically getting with either. There's level to the dating game and maybe looks wise you're toward the bottom but such is life

. No one is obligated to date you and stop blaming "dark" skin as the reason.
As for white people yeah overall it seems like they usually date brown/dark skin when they date blacks but that's probably because on average the average black person is brown to dark skin compared to the number that are light skin so more brown/dark skin men and women to choose from for them if they want to date IR.
