Shadeism has only gotten stronger within black people over the last decade. Lighter skin is glorified on television and popular rappers also take part in spreading the idea that "lighter is better". It's the unfortunate truth. Things will change for you after high school. Not all, but some of those guys will mature and come to realize how false that ideal is, and you'll meet lots of guys who don't care what color you are--as long as you're pretty. I am brown skinned and have no problem with dating or attracting men. Just try not to let it effect your self-esteem.
Maybe it's just you thinking that and projecting that onto situations? I think guys don't pick on skin tone probably to the extent that some girls do. There are MANY gorgeous women with dark skin and they've seen no shortage of interest from light skinned men, look at Halle Berry.
Sucks for them. They're missing out. That goes for any girl no matter what their skin color is. Girls are beauts.
Whaaatt?
Well this is not true at all.
I'm not light skinned nor I'm dark skinned.
But I disagree with you
Shallow vapid boys go for the popular blondes, but real men don't care, they go for women of all types.
When you get older those BOYS will become men and when they do you will find yourself a real man.
Don't rush into things, don't be slutty or do anything silly, be yourself and you will find the right man for you.
I personally just can't get attracted to them. It's like, hardwired. I'm not sure why. It could be just from viewing white girls as attractive in early childhood. I've dated hispanic but that's as close as I can get.
There's nothing wrong with them at all. It's just not there. No real way to explain it.

I don't know what you're talking about. I find a lot of dark-skinned black women physically attractive.
Of course, the black guys I know don't seem to agree. It's always "white girl" this or "redbone" that.
You are young. I was once that high school kid pining after them yellow and redbone girls. I grew up my outlook on beauty changed. The girl. I'm currently dating is darker, but I find her absolutely attractive.
I think it comes from heavy institutional and indoctrinated rhetoric that "light is right"
There are some dark skin gurls that are cute. Every race always have a cutie blend in with them so i wouldn't say they aren't attractive.
attitude? how they carry themselves? thugish though process? I date anyone normal
It's not the skin tone. It must be something else. Are they ugly or fat or something?
I would love to see the result of this question
Nothing wrong with some dark chocolate girls. Yum!
