I can't say I myself wanted to be lighter because I always had good self esteem for the most part; but I was very attracted and almost solely on lighter men and that wasn't right.

I now see the beauty in any and everyone. Our brains can be so warped by the media

I'm naturally really light but I remember being a bit darker as a kid from playing outside all the time and not liking it fjjj

!!! I didn't realize until I was ten or eleven that I would get darker during the summer and I would avoid the sun like the plague

!!! I hated it and it didn't help that the teachers would keep us outside for like 2 hours :uhh: My mom used to fume. There was a time I perched in the shade with the teachers :kii:

I don't think it looks natural on me. I noticed the same with my brother and dad. We look Indian af when we get darker.

I was 16 and the previous day I had been at an outdoors track meet.
I stayed in the sun for hours.

I got back to school the next day and this soot colored girl goes  :fuming: :fuming:

"Omfffffffffffffffff your so dark............what happened?  :fuming:


From that experience and a couple others as I got older I realized the power being "light" in the black community had.

So from then on I stay as pale as possible and reap the benefits.

All the guys I date though are black as coal. :wellheythere: :wellheythere: :wellheythere:

If it aint dark, it aint for me ( relationship wise )

My mom is very light-skinned and I'm more of a caramel color, but in the summer sometimes I would get brown and I didn't like it. She also didn't like my sister getting "dark".

I'm not sure what that means. I like my day-to-day color. But when I get too brown it doesn't suit me, or maybe I'm just conditioned to think that it's not a good color.

I think it's beautiful on others though.

I could defiantly relate!!!... but now I'm content I love my skin tone  :letsmessfag:

why dvy and what changed your mind

Well my Mum is really light and so is my my brother so growing up I always felt some type of way about that. I went through a brief phase a couple years ago where I tried fade creams, but I got over it.

I'm gonna be honest and say I'm not surprised by this.
I've always noticed in your sig there's either a white person, or if they're black, they're light as a fluorescent light bulb. Small things like that speak volumes to me.

Which is why when you made a comment which implied that I permed my hair I was looking like :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: but I didn't say anything crazy to you.

And this is not me judging you, it's just saying that it makes sense. And I appreciate your honesty.

You're gorgeous just the way you are. I'm sure you remember years ago when I was about to ban you for being a newbie with too much lip :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: until I saw your pic :ohwow: you're more than good hun. :cheerup:
