One place you would do well in is South FL. I can recall more interracial couples there than some of the other places I've been. For some reason men over there do not let skin color get in the way of beauty. Beautiful black women seem to have no trouble finding someone, whether dark or light.
I am on the east coast, but I hope to one day relocate to California. I know it sounds strange because they have sunshine year round (and I don't want to get darker) but I love the palm trees and the general atmosphere. I have never thought about South Florida, but I am happy to hear that dark women are doing well with relationships there.
I don't know your background but I am wondering if you have ever dated a dark skinned woman, like the woman in the video link?
I am asking because I am really curious. So many guys just look past us, because they view dark skin as ugly.
I am a white male and I think black women would be more attractive if they kept in shape. Unfortunately that's kind of a rarity here. I have considered asking a black woman out, found out that she had a boyfriend though.
Do you think it's wrong to target a race, just because you believe there is some benefit to dating the guy? In my instance, I am very dark and I feel like I may be better off dating a white guy, especially if it's long term. I think there would be many benefits, especially for my child, because she/he would have a more mainstream look.
Is this wrong?
It is not wrong per se, but rather the reasons behind why you are doing what you are doing. It seems that you think that dating a white guy would fix your self loathing issues and it won't. You have to do that for yourself, otherwise you'd still be unhappy.
This is what gets me about the race threads on CD. There's nothing wrong with having a preference, but I find that most people have ulterior motives for dating a particular race, or are obsessed or want to gain a particular "benefit". How about just looking for someone that loves you? Point Blank.
That said, two of my very good girlfriends who are darker than Naomi Campbell are married to white men. But I also grew up in Africa, where I saw darker skinned women married at the same rate as lighter skinned women. Personally, I feel that dark skinned women are very pretty. Their skin rarely shows blemishes and just shines. OP I think you need to find a way to love yourself and don't take to heart men that have rejected you because of your skin.

I do see a lot of fat black women but being fat is not my problem. I am naturally thin. I am a size 4, which is only two sizes away from 0. I am in the process of losing weight to drop down to a size 2 or even possibly 0. I have just begun my diet yesterday, and I anticipate it will be easy for me to lose the 10 lbs by just cutting out my dessert after dinner.

Thank you for the very kind words. My problem is, all of my friends are getting married. I just attended 2 weddings. I would give anything to meet a nice hard working guy from a good family who just loved me and wanted to be with me.
It is hard not having anyone at the moment to go out with and do the normal things that people do, like go to the movies or out to dinner or even taking a vacation with the love of your life. When I see my friends doing these things, I get very jealous, but they are my friends, so I try my hardest to be happy for them, because I definitely want the best for them. I don't want anyone to experience the feelings and pain that I feel deep in my heart.
Sometimes when I am with my friends, I rarely smile because I want what they have, but I can't seem to get it. It is hard to explain these feelings to them because they wouldn't understand. They have always had people who adored them.
I know that many white guys are not interested in black women, especially not women my skin color, but I am hoping to find one who is interested. I sort of feel like if he is very pale, maybe he will like the difference in skin tone?

Be careful not to loose too much weight. I don't like sticks, I like them firm with muscle, especially in the legs and abs.

I'm sorry, but that is unhealthy. You're already at a perfectly healthy weight.
It just boggles my mind why people already in a healthy weight range feel the need to lose weight.

You don't smile? Women are much more attractive when they smile.
Also it has nothing to do with a guys skin color whether or not he likes you.
