Everyone has a source of insecurity and for women, it seems to always be centered on their desirability to men.

We can’t act like dark skin women have not received unfair treatment for just being dark skin. It’s real and if people don’t want to acknowledge it then that’s their own manipulation of reality.

What I saw was a woman who allowed her insecurity to overcome what she wanted. A man who values her and doesn’t automatically dismiss her because of her complexion.

Folks want to act like men, especially, black men have not perpetuated the inferiority that some dark skin women feel in the dating game.

I’ve seen it too many times. Even dark skin men telling me their preference and calling me a “redbone” and I have to school those ignorant dudes on colorism.

I just don’t get why black men seem to be deliberately obtuse as to why dark skin women feel the way they do. They did not make their skin tone into something that others should perceive as unattractive… you men did that shyt.

And the worst thing about is that you silly dudes don’t even see what you do.

You constantly put women in categories based on their complexions or their race or where they’re from and what ethnic group they belong to. You constantly put women against each other in your own warped view of desirability and then want to act like a deer in front of headlights when those women express insecurity and superiority because of how you labeled them.


Light skin women think they’re better than dark skin women… yeah dummy because you said that and you made those women believe it

Why do white women think all black men want them??? Yeah dummy because your folks in your group put them on a pedestal now you’re mad that they started to believe it

So now dark skin women are just insecure for no reason, huh?

Black women have issues with being desirable for no reason, huh?

This is what men have done.
Are you going to claim that this is mainly a Black Male thing?

There’s a thread on colorist shyt that Black woman has said in the Black women subreddit right now?

Finally on the same show a short statured Black Man had all Balloons Popped on him


What if short guys complained about not being selected and blamed it squarely on Black women?

The ill thing was the dude that the Dark skinned chick matched with literally barely talked she was intimidated by her desire for him and once he said he liked her she took her balloon back.On the Medium Man clip about the episode he should that Black women on Kendra G’s show saying they didn’t want Lightskinned Men.

The wild thing was the reason they didn’t want Lightskins is because they literally thought that the Lightskinned guys would compete with them on the beauty standard

I.E they would fight for the mirror with them.

So essentially they equated lightskin with beauty which is in fact….COLORIST

If you going on a dating show at 37 years old and have to pop a balloon to find love .....being darkskinned is the least of your problems.
This too it’s like going to a speed dating event except it’s live and recorded for the world to see your desperation.

If dudes didn’t get so much sympethy p*ssy on the backend they wouldn’t go on these shows.

This is what men have done.
We act obtuse because the discourse is rarely in good faith :manny:

* They over generalize black men and ignore the amount who do date and are attracted to ds bw

* They view "listening to peoples experiences" as a privilege that should only be given to women and don't care about dark skin black men's experiences with colorism (check how they treated Terrell Owens when he opened up)

* They ignore when bw engage in their own colorism - wanting daughters with "good hair", stereotyping light skin and dark skin men, using the term "medium ugly" on predominantly dark skin men, etc.

* They also begin to act incel-ish - they shame black men's preferences in a way that they would hate if it were done to them.

It feels like mate guarding.

If I can admit SOME black men are colorist, you can admit to what I'm saying :manny:

Unless you're like @Gloxina who never responds to these points in colorism threads :manny:

At this point, colorism is starting to become the easy convo. The more difficult one is how a lot of Black women will see a Black man, and instantly begin to dump every negative thought and opinion they have onto the brotha, without even so much as knowing his first name. That hostility carries over into initial interactions and manifests in situations like these.

Another perfect example of this happening was a while back where a college aged girl was breaking down in the car because she saw what she deemed an athletic Black man walking by her on campus. She didn't talk to him, nor even said so much as hi, but instantly crafted a narrative about he more than likely hates Black women like her. Had a whole congregation of women agreeing, even though no one knew anything about the dude.

Just pure madness :mindblown:

One breath women declare nothing they do is for men's attention. Another they'll blame their insecurities on perceived male desirability. Colourism in the dating market is a copout, as attractive dark skin women get picked. Beauty is a combination of aesthetic, body shape, facial features i.e Anna Diop, Aduta Aketch, Naomi Campbell, Lupita. The issue's that women compete for the best & average women find it hard to accept their MIDness. This exacerbates the chip on their shoulder and sips into attitude.

Let’s keep it simple like Glo says If Black people didn’t like Black People all these babies wouldn’t be born.

She has half a point but at the end of the a Black woman with a low opinion of Black Men generally Doesn’t care about the opinion of Most Black Men she cares about the opinion of the exceptional Black Man that she wants to date.

She also cares about the opinion of Non Black people Men and women but she doesn’t blame them for being racist.
