Pretty for a dark skin girl?

[Iceseeyou25]

If a guy says that for a dark skinned girl you are beautiful, is that a inslut or just him being friendly? ( Let's say he's dark skinned himself)

Yes this is insluting

No, not at all

I wouldn't say that's an insult I take it more as a compliment people when they look at me they say they say I look pretty good for an Indian and that's native American Indian I take that as a compliment but if I find it insulting then I just walk away and not bother talking to them for a while

Weird evaluation system (could be a problem), but key word is pretty. If he accepts you as a person, just live with it. If he evaluates everything on skin color, then he's a racist regardless of his skin color. What do you want in the end?

[Iceseeyou25]

I don't know. I always found the phrase to be hurtful... Especially when they talk poorly about black women and I just smile and act like everything is fine.

It's definitely inconsiderate and can function as a backhanded compliment, but this could be the much more common thoughtless person. He could have just said you were pretty and left it that. You may need more behavior to come to a conclusion of their nature, but so many people (myself included) have said thoughtless things. Definitely not a nice way or polite way to say it, but they acknowledge your beauty, but if they're a jerk it doesn't matter any way.

Its of course insulting.

"Cute for a nerd girl"
"Smart for a blond girl"
"Pretty for a dark girl"

All of above are disgusting. Dont tolerate such men!

He is insinuating that dark skin is ugly and cannot be pretty. He finds you pretty. I am sure he thinks if you were fair, it would have been much better

[SlothySlob]

He is commenting on the fact that you don't have certain features that people of high melanin content stereotypically have and he dislikes, or he's equaling your features to people who are melanin deficient and their stereotypical features.

If I was her, yeah I'd be insulted. Why would the darkness of the skin mean that she shouldn't be considered beautiful in the first place?

[TheAfrikan]

To me that shitty of say woukd be a real insult, so would not welcome it at all.
Why does someone choose to rephrase beauty depending on the skin tone.

It's a back-handed compliment. Saying dark skin is ugly, but not you.

[Reaperbot666]

sounds like he found her attractive.
but maybe does not always go for darker skin tone girls.
so he thinks she is a rare gem (so to speak)

[G5TWA1]

If he says it like that yeah its insulting but if he says he usually doesn't find dark skinned girls attractive but that you are an exception then I don't think it should be viewed as an insult

I have always liked chocolate pie, cake, and milk. lol

[DARKN3SS]

Yea it’s pretty insulting, as it kinda implies that dark skinned people aren’t as pretty

[Wise4myage]

A. That's a bad choice of words.

[mrgspoter]

No idea what you mean

[_SOARER]

Its a compliment.
