Do you really pay attention to complexions and do you have a preference for light skinned, brown skinned or dark skinned women?

Does it matter and if so, why? Or do you even know why?


And I guess it's not just limited to women...Do you women prefer a specific complexion over others. Do you absoluely refuse to date a light skinned or dark skinned man? Why?
 
As for choosing a woman, for me, complexion doesn't come into it. I've dated light and dark skinned women. What I'm more attracted to is personality, looks and independence.
 
if a bitch looks good, she looks good.......you should have asked what do niggas like about black women.

I think that's basically it, if you're a dime, you're a dime dark or light, it's like asking what weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks.. I may have a bias towards dark skin woman because I'm dark skin, but if you're dark and you have very smooth skin it's just beautiful..

I think when your selective about skin tones it reduces your options. What your doing is locking out potentially great people based on their skin tone, there's something wrong with that way of thinking.

Do I seek out women based on their skin tones? NO! As long as she's attractive, in good shape, black, has class, is intelligent with a good personality we can talk.
 
Growing up, I never paid attention to that light/dark skin shit. If a chick looks good, she looks good: Nice eyes, lips, smooth skin with bodily curves. However, most women I've dated have been my own complexion.
 
Skin color has never been an issue with me. I need to be physically attracted to a woman, but I need a woman I can have a good conversation with after the sex is done. Cute and dumb as a brick is no longer attractive to me.
 
When I first started dating, I leaned heavily to women with light complexions. As I went deeper through college, I just got to this point where I just fell in love with smooth, coal black skin and a certain type of caramel complexion. Now, skin tone is striclty, for me, a fetish feature. I am attracted to any light, brown or black complexion. It would be idiotic for me to sum up a woman based strictly on hue.

However, I am more cognisant of women that are darker because I am just a pervert when it comes to, I cannot belive I am saying this, darker vaginal lips and darker anus on already dark or caramel skin. Don't ask why something that trivial looks good enough to eat. I could not begin to explain it. I am just being brutally honest. It is purely primal at this point.
 
Used to have bad experiences with red women or women with light complexions so i naturally drifted towards women with brown skin or darker complexions but at the end of the day it boils down to how attractive i find her and her personality.

No I dont pay attention to things like the complexion,at first glance i usually notice everything else first which are little things like her walk,smile,what she has on,smell,her body,...etc.Than comes her complexion,how she looks,her hair...etc.I dont have a preference as long as she's brown Im down,Ive seen beauty in all types of shades.

I usually dont find lightskinned women attractive,usually their ass in on their shoulders and they expect attention because thats what they are use to getting,so I leave em be.
 
not the 80's anymore, i only think a handful bases another off of their complexion nowadays...it's all about attitude/personality.
 
Skin complexion has never played a part in my selection process. I'm more particular about being around women with a sense of humor or strong conversation. The only women that I avoid like the plague are uptight women ...
 
for me i am an equal opportunity employer. doesnt matter the complexion.

However, to me, lets say you find a fyne dark-skinned chic, and a fine light-skinned one, the dark gets the nod everyday. When there is a nice brown sista lookin good aint nothin like it. but da caramel and light sistas... man they look good as well. I guess cause where im from i see more light-skinned caramel chics that are well put together, that when i see a dark-skinned one its like damn where you come from. dunno. i do go out much so... maybe i am depriving myself.
 
An excellent question. I think the same "light is alright" mentality persists today, but it seems to be lessening. For me, I just love black women in general (even with all the bullshit we carry each other through). In my job I come in contact with thousands of gorgeous black women everyday (literally) of all shapes, sizes, complexions and atittudes, and this has made me pretty oblivious to any other group (Ash Rai, the Indian superstar, notwithstanding). I don't care if they are lite brite or jet black- As long as their nails are done (please, ladies, it's a very big deal), and they know where the gym is I can dig em.

Sometimes when I am around a bunch of them I just inhale. A brother in another thread said something about a woman's scent. HE TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH. That's the bottom line with me- if her aroma is like a shot of heroin to my brain, I'm in love for life. LOL!
 
I honestly don't care. Most of the women I've dated or walked on the wildside w/ however were light skinned or red, but thats based on looks tho. I've just happened to run into more attractive light skinnas than dark skinnas. Now the girl I'm w/ right now (an I'm thinkin about stayin w/ her for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time :D ) is really dark skinned, and I love her complexion.
 
When I see gorgeous dark brown women in a crowd, my eyes are automatically drawn to her, but I love all complexions.

I love darker toned women but if a woman is attractive it doesn't matter (I don't date outside of my race though).

What always gets me is the way that a woman walks
 
I am more into facial features than skin tone, but the features I like are more found on darker skinned women for some reason...Or maybe they stand out more on them.
But I only meet light skinned women lately.
:hmm:
 
I know one dude (my boy) who has this "lightskinned and long hair" rule for the women he dates, and I call him out on being so damn closed-minded all the time because the chick he's with now that fits his requirements truly can't hold a candle to some of these bad ass chocolate joints I've seen in my travels over the last few years. Me personally, I tend to gravitate towards darker women (I'm darkskinned myself), but I won't turn down a lightskin chick if she has a decent personality.
 
I love all complexions of black women. I love the variety of complexions and find beauty in all of them. To me the beauty of the skin color comes out especially when a women takes good care of her skin. I find a lot of beauty in skin complexion and I can't honestly say I prefer a certain type of complexion over another I love them all. Except white.

But for me skin care is more important to me then skin tone. Black skin is beautiful no matter what the shade.
 
facial beauty is what I look at
fine face and a nice body
if she has both I dont care about complexion
I have seen many ugly light skin women that I would never fuck..............
 
Most people are trying to say the politically correct thing and say that they don't discriminate. That is bullshit. I am partial to dark skinned sistas even though I have dated and fucked all kinds. (and yes snow bunnies) I am considered dark skinned and went through all the crap white people have pushed on people of color all over the world.

Lets not fool ourselves, everyone has a preference.
 
I find it dubious that NO man here has a skin color preference. Bull. You do, just like you have a booty size preference, just like you like hair a certain way. I guess this is like those other threads where every woman gives their man all the sex he needs, all the space he needs, and never nags. Be real men.

I have a preference. I cannot stand yellow, bright, light, whatever you want to call it, women. Not to say that they can't get it, but a brown-to-dark skinned sister will get it everytime. If you are caramel-colored or darker, I prefer you.

Why? Because in light-skinned women, the flaws show up more. Facial hair shadow, on the arms, any type of bumps, redness in the face, all that. Darker skin hides it well. Darker-skinned women tend to be the same color from nose to toes. Lighter-skinned women tend to have patches of color like a calico cat. Yellow women have all that Caucasian blood in them which gives them the semi-White woman hips which in turn tends to lower the odds of having that bubble that I like.

Have you ever seen a dark-skinned woman, glistening with the sweat of a marathon love-making session? Sexy. And probably the most important reason....attitude. It's not necessarily their fault, it's how people treat them and show them favoritism based on their skin (well, not the brothers in this thread :rolleyes:) You run into a higher % of snobs and the ones that aren't tend to look like Rain Pryor. :lol: I kid.

All in all, I prefer darker-skinned women, call me a colorist or whatever, at least I have reasons behind my choice other than "I sholl do likes bright skinneded wimmens."
 

I feel ya, bi.

People are entitled to their preferences. I find objection only with the reasons why (i.e. promoting a eurocentric beauty standard).

In the final analysis, people are going to be attracted to the people attracted to them. I like all kinds of brothers, but light men like me and I can find as many equally appealing qualities about a lighter brother as I can a darker brother.
 
I dont know why some of you are saying some of the responses are bull. I have read three w/o reading the entire thread saying they do have a preference in skin tone. :confused:

Complexion is just not a factor for me. I have dealt with any and every type of color. It is the persons spirit that attracts me.
 
Admittedly I was somewhat ignorant in regards to complexion before I moved to the US. I had no idea there were as many complexions and tones as there are. I was even baffled when my wife informed me she was considered "dark" because I didn't really think so.
I have never found a particular complexion attractive though. I've liked a variety of women, whether lighter complexioned or darker in tone. Again it's not so much about the complexion, rather the features and the classic cop out that is personality.

The only reason I scoff is because what is being said here, and what actually happens in the real world are two totally different things. We all know that lighter women get the preference, I hate that that is true, but it is. No one will come out and say, I love lightskinned women better because is a touchy subject with a lot of women of color.

You know what, I do agree w/ that. After reading the thread now in it's entirity I have to agree. I was suprized at how many said they prefer darker complexions. I am a very deep mocha color and I know growing up and now in my adult hood that my color plays a factor in discrimination from my fellow brothers and sisters. But I also believe in to each his own. I mean hell I even do it. Not against skin tone but I can honestly say that I am partial to big men, like "Suge Knight" size men.
