How Men See Light-Skinned Women
“I think a preference is okay, but why do you have it?”
When men were interviewed, they were basically asked about their preferences, and why some men go out of their way to date lighter black women, and even white women at times. But I was intrigued by the varying opinions:
One minute it was this…
“I prefer dark-skinned women. The dark-skinned women I have dated have been more supportive. They’ll stay there. The light-skinned chicks, if I got a 214 BMW, she’s looking for a cat with a 216.”
The next minute it was this…
“Light skin is more of a trophy, and as a man, you want to have a trophy girl…it’s more of a prize.”
