Are Dark Skin Black men really IN or are women just following the Trends?

[How Sway?]

I've noticed that the way that some Black women online talk about dark-skinned Black men can be very fetishy. Basically thinking of dark-skinned BM only through a sexual lens and the Mandingo stereotype

And many of these same Black women will criticize White/non-Black women for liking or "fetishizing" Black men. The hypocrisy

Absolute facts

Unless you are a darkskin outlier, you not fukking with the other side. A racially ambiguous looking black male/biracial/lighter skinned black male will always dominate among black women.

Yaw can get mad but these are the facts. This is why the new generation of black girls are just saying fukk it and dating white men outright-- because that's how they've always felt.

You can’t talk about how colorism affects men without dudes acting like you said darkskin brothas don’t get girls.

The convo is dead before it even starts.

If you weren’t a darkskin breh in the 80s/90s
You wouldn’t understand
Even though women may like us more now and post I say ‘05
The darkness jokes don’t stop just like the lightskin jokes don’t stop
Colorism is only reserved for men and their preference
It doesn’t work the same way for women
I’ve got stories on this shyt but thecoli will only say I’m crying and Uh Unh that never happened

Yes,

100% of racism and jokes that I receive was from lite skin brehs. Lol,

Kinda always had some girl that liked me tho , all colors

Love for Dark skin men have always been a thing for Millenial women

I think because we've been indoctrinated by the 90s movies we grew up on lol

(This may differ by region though )


*of course all this depends on one's overall attractivesness **

What a weird thread to make

 

[africngiant]

following trends. in my life i’ve seen black women with lighter skinned black men/white men more than i have with darkskin men for sure

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Attractive people are "in".

No woman is turning down a beautiful man because he isn't dark enough.

 

[Collateral]

White hoes and light skin women only really like the two ends of the spectrum


Really Dark or really light

It’s us Brownskin guys that have it harder in that area



But our fellow brownskins love us

 

[ItsPeople]

Darkness is associated with apex masculinity.



While lightness is associated with feminity

Yall not about to disrespect all the Mr. Goodbar looking ass nikkas

 

[010101]

also here is a key as far as what women really value

what features do they desire for themselves & their children most¿

then peep how they will talk all that i love black men shyte then when they have a child with those features they heap disappointment on that child

it's almost like the way a lot of nikkas get super lusty over a fat ass & see nothing beyond fukking

it's a pornographic aesthetic in their mind

their attraction to darkskin is the same as the eurofolk running through africa on a sex safari because that's really who created the stereotype

*

 

[010101]

even freakier is black men themselves are gaining their self perception through the perspective of europeans

all those porn studios are operated by who¿

sexualized in the most undignified light characterized as beastly

& you see nikkas embodying that shyte without thinking

proud to be lead by their dikk calling it natural

Why not just ask the women you heard it from?

Also, Women are all around...you could've had your answers right here! It's a bunch of Nyggas in here .
