Maybe in the 80's, but most girls I know dig dark skinned dudes.
Like Sierra Mist said, dark skinned men are seen as more masculine and "manly".
I really don't see the discrimination.Like I said, most of the females I know prefer dark skinned dudes.Y'all remember how them dark skinned nikkaz would pull all the pretty red bone chicks in Jr High and High School.
I see more dudes doggin dark skinned girls than I see females doggin dark skinned dudes.
I think dark skinned females get discriminated against wayyyyy more than dark skinned dudes....especially in the black community.
In fact, I'd say black women discriminate against light skinned men more these dayz.I've had a lot of black girls tell me light skinned men just don't do it for them.Light skinned men are trapped in the "oh he's 'cute'" category ....but they're not making these females wanna have nasty porno sex anymore..that died in about 1992....they're not exactly setting pussies afire like they used to.
The 90's brought in the ultra masculine, chocolate, timberland wearing, thug shyt......and then Morris Chestnut came through and pushed the stake through their hearts even more.
Light skinned dudes gotta work overtime these days.They have to hit the gym extra hard and get tatted up just to keep up with that dark skinned "masculine appeal" that's in nowadays.Just for the females to look at him and think "he look like he'll tear my p*ssy up

"....they see them boys as soft out here
