My favorites, though, are Rama #1 and Diane of Nigeria #3.
I looked at the picks, and I think you mean Felivian. Dian has a full head of hair, while Felivian is bald.

I think they are attractive, but I won't get on anyone's case for having their own preferences. Everyone is entitled to like who they like, and the same woman won't appeal to all. That said, they will all be someone's idea of beauty.

I dont really think any of those women in the OPs link are attractive. Sure, some may think they are, but not me. Its not about their skin color either. I just dont find their faces to be attractive. The wide noses and especially prominent cheek bones are not what I am attracted to. I like softer, feminine features on women.

Go to the P and C forum,and there are many posters who say African women are more attractive than AA women,so I guess i t depends on what forum you are on CD. Its a mixed guy saying this at that.

What I'm trying to say is that looking African has its advantages.
For one,you get to avoid the negative stereotypes associated with AA women.
LOL! This is such a common thing where I live. Some people assume that I must be Nigerian because I went to college........ (The most popular groups of Africans here are Ethiopians, Nigerians, Ghanians)

You can always check out some Nollywood actresses, which offers a much broader range of black women in Hollywood.
A few examples:

Genevieve Nnaji

Jackie Appiah

Yvonne Okoro


***I will admit bias. I like women with Almond shaped eyes....since that's what mine look like!

Why internalize his mess? If he isn't into dark women, you don't want him anyway.

No, we dark skinned women are not unattractive. Yes, there is a big movement towards mixed/ambiguous women, but dark women are still seen as attractive. Men look at me/flirt with me all the time.
LMAO at rotten cadaver!

Nyanna, you need to act like you're pretty -- no realize that you are. Work what you have and make sure you're looking cute and exude attractiveness. There is a man who will like you for what you are. It's the confidence that counts. Because if you go around acting like you're unattractive and you wish you were never born, you are going to attract what you put out. You are going to attract some dog, abuser, or egotistical nut. All skin tones are pretty, including dark.

Oh, and the answer to the OP's question is yes. She is. But the eye makeup takes away from her attractiveness.

Well, I happen to like and appreciate ethnic beauty around the world, and I tend to like them with a lot less "breeding".

I like African beauty because I think their color ~ which, of course, varies in Africa, too ~ adds the regality to their beauty. I happen to miss the dark-skinned black Americans that I remember from my childhood. Yes, they're still out there, but damn few in comparison.

I find women of India and Pakistan very beautiful. I find Asian women beautiful, and so on, so forth.

And there are certain features that I think are beautifully carried only by those that are naturally of certain races. I hate the fake, puffed-up collagen lips popularized by celebrities, and to me they look great only on certain races. (For that matter, I always disliked blue contacts on blacks because to me it just didn't look right.)

I do NOT like blue eyes on the very rare Asians that have it. Most of those few I've seen were breeds while one was an albino (although this man was very interesting-looking).
