Search Results: darker skin than a girl

I ask this question because of a conversation my former students were having on Facebook (no, I’m not their friends but a coworker of mine is). But one girl, fairly lighter, was being I guess ‘attacked’ because she posted a natural hair photo. However, she doesn’t have an Afro. And the darker girls were telling her she had light skin privilege and that if she were darker that the other men on her page would not be calling her attractive and other things and that her skin color makes it easier for her to find men.

I didn’t comment on it as I think dark skinned women are gorgeous (my sister is dark and beautiful), but I have been told myself, mainly by other black people, that my skin complexion makes me more attractive in general and sometimes even ‘less black’ since I’m on the lighter side to the point where many people think I’m mixed even though I’m not. I’m similar to the lighter girl in the photo.

So are light skin women physically more attractive than darker women?
