To make a couple of things clear:
1.
I am a dark skinned male and proud of it. My sisters and mom are dark, I am very attracted to dark skinned black women (Bria Myles is my wifey) and AM NOT A c00n who thinks anything light is better
2. I am 6 ft., not tall, but not short enough where I've ever been turned down for my height. This is not me being resentful, even though I don't consider myself tall, the average woman (5'6 or so) would probably consider me tall.
Playing the devil's advocate, it seems black women are the ones who are the most focused on height. I've literally met so many black chicks who are 4'11 and say they would never date a man under 6'2. That's fine, its a personal choice. But how is it any different than a man who refuses to date women of darker shades? Complexion is, after all, just as arbitrary as height
