This is pretty much 'the entire key' to dating women. Which is not to say all women care about is looks, but it means that you always have to know that no matter how cool she thinks you are, how long you've known her, how many experiences you've shared, she may not be physically attracted to you and that will be the end of that.

It sounds obvious, but it isn't for a lot of men. It wasn't to me until after many, many years. Think about it, and think about how you're going to deal with it based on your own situation. Once you figure out a gameplan, things become easier on sanity.

Meanwhile, while you're depressed, dark-skinned black women are enjoying life, getting flirted with almost daily, are dating and having fun. How do they do it? Well, for one thing, they're very friendly, smile, and have attractive, even bubbly, personalities. Give it a try.

No, that is not the reality that is happening. You're only making up this well constructed lie, to invalidate my claims of colorism. There are plenty of studies and statistical evidence that proves what I am saying. Routinely black men degenerate and disrespect black women, especially darkskinned ones on a regular basis. It's in music, in movies, on the radio, and on many African American blogos. Tommy Sotomayor has over 10 million subscribers, and he regularly criticizes and insults black women. Please stop spreading lies

Just want to point out that:

That's just relationships in general: for everyone. Men aren't singled out. Not everyone ends up lovers, no matter how much you like the other person and think they should like you. It's life. And most people cope with it and move on until they find someone who he or she finds attractive who is also attracted to him or her.

Your height really isn't that bad. I'm 4 inches shorter than you (serious) and I've even had some women interested in me.

Yes, that's true. But here's the difference. Ready?

Men approach. Chew on that and then get back to me.

Nope. A couple of those women post here. Not making it up. Colorism exists, but it's possible to rise above it, beat it, and enjoy life. Just because some study or survey agrees with your low self-esteem doesn't mean you have to buy into it. Others don't. Why should you?

To quote one of my favorite posters here, a 5'4" black male:

You should probably stay off the internet or at least these forums.

You're lying and trying to protect black men. You're nothing but a handmaiden. You know that if you visit any major city you'll see tons of black men with lightskin girlfriends and wives
