Bambi's comments on the impact of color and dating.. - YouTube
You are very pretty.

I am sorry that I have "disrespected" you I certainly didn't want to.

I am so sorry.

You are beautiful bambi, don't get discouraged, okay?

For the same reason that other men exclude women from their dating pool because of age. Or because of height, or weight, or hair color, or level of education or financial situation. It's their preference. Everyone has a preference. It's not always fair, but it's there.

If you are not Nyanna etc, then know that this topic has been done to death and that is why you will likely not get what you need here.
It's odd that you continue to post, yet you are bored with the topic. If something doesn't interest me, I move on or I don't even go into the thread.

This alone tells me that you have ulterior motives.

Like i already told you, bambi, what if this IS true? are you so UNBELIEVABLY SELF INVOLVED that you actually think you are the only one that goes through awful and unfair discrimination??? Because you are not! Many people suffer all kinds of discrimination and deal with all kind of burden, SO MUCH worse than what you are going through. Your problem is that you dont wanna do anything about it, JUST complain.

Sartre said "We are what we do with what is done to us"

So grow up and stop complaining.

Have fun with that.

And thanks. I am having a great day.

Peace & love shawwwwty!
I'm not looking for certain responses, I'm looking for honesty. Asking me to post this on another forum is beside the point. I have already posted it here, but in the future, I may very well post my comments on a black oriented site.

That's a great idea.

Or perhaps even a body dysmorphia site.

Yes, black women have problems finding a good guy, but it's not because people are raciest against black women.

I mean, just because a White, Indian, or Middle eastern man doesn't want to date black women, that preference alone doesn't mean that they're raciest, it simply means that they prefer to be with their own kind and it's as simple as that.

Don't sit up in here and tell me that you don't have any preferences.... I'm sure you like one color over the other, one drink over the other, or one flavor over the other... We all have preferences...

The true reason why black women have serious problems finding a good guy is because there aren't many eligible black men to begin with. The pool of black men who have good jobs, no baggage, and a good head on their shoulders is really low. It's so low that if you're one of the few decent black men you will have a hard time trying to date any woman of any race (even black women) because nobody takes you seriously unless you're clearly the center for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Anyhow, so before you get upset at how hard you have it, go on POF as a man and read the profiles of women, many of them start out with, "NO BLACK GUYS". I bet you never been outright dismissal like that as a black woman.

This isn't true. Please stop perpetuating that stereotype. I've seen white men with lightskinned Black women who wear weaves.

What black women need to do is travel overseas. Black women need to find a place where the men love dark skinned women, and where the men are willing to take care of them.
