Some Common Misconceptions About Light-skinned Ladies by Mhizkel(f): 5:54pm On Oct 12, 2015
This write-up is based on my observations so far. And it is centralised on the false beliefs people (not all) have towards light-skinned females.
Below are some of the misconceptions:

1. Bleaching: This tops the list because light-skinned ladies are mostly tagged with the word ''Bleaching'' I know some of our ladies aren't naturally fair, and there are ways one could identify them. The knuckles and knee are good examples. In as much as we have high rate of bleachers, there are still the ones with the natural fair complexion. Every complexion is beautiful be it light, dark or chocolate. Maintainance is all that matters.

2. Mermaid: This sounds funny, but true. Some people have the belief that light-skinned females are from the marine world. Maybe this belief is derived from our Nollywood movies, whereby a light-skinned lady is allowed to play the character of a mermaid, while the dark-skinned one is given the role of a witch. If you're light-skinned and no one ever accused you of being a mermaid, then you've never been to Nigeria.

3. Flirts: A grown up lady is bound to come across admirers/suitors, but in this case, some people believe light-skinned ladies are flirts because of their flashy look and tend to have more admirers. Also, they believe these ladies would surely accept the proposal of atleast 5 out of 10% of their admires, thereby making them a flirt.

4. Materialistic Nature: Some men believe light-skinned ladies are materialistic in nature. A friend once told me he can't date a light-skinned lady because he is not capable of taking care of her needs. Some get scared of approaching one for the fear of their pocket being drained. The fact is, any lady could be materialistic irrespective of her skin complexion.

Lastly, many people believe being light-skinned gives one an edge in a place of work or gathering. There is a little atom of truth in this, but not in all situations. What edge does a light-skinned female has when she is rude, arrogant and disrespectful? Edge has got to do with one personality, not complexion.


NB: Light-skinned women deserves some respect. Not everyone would be born with a dark skin. In as much as black is beautiful, light-skinned is also beautiful.
And ladies, be comfortable with your skin complexion and save yourselves the disgrace of black patches.

Light skin ladies are too expensive to maintain.
They aren't advisable especially for guys who studied economics

[b]well, most of what you typed up there are true but it is not our fault too cuz

1.most of the lightskinned women out here are not NATURALLY lightskinned. We can call them mutant(lol. Just like the Xmen grin) cuz most of them transformed from being dark to fair and voila! They are lightskinned.

2.MOST of them are also flirts (we see them everytime at the clubs hanging with sugar daddies) so this fact makes it so obvious that 90% of lightskinned ladies are flirts. Those of us who club regularly will understand what I mean

3.50% of them are materialistic. Like wouldn't they keep up with their beAuty(buying cloths and expensive make up kits/accesories)? Of cuz they will wanna maintain their skin color because of our harsh weather here in Nigeria

4. For those of us who have been to CAC,Cele,MFM churches, we know MOST of those possessed with "mami water"(mermid) spirits are always lightskinned and beautiful

But op, even if you are a bleaching, materialistic and a "flirtful" marmid. That doesn't stop me from paying your bride price nextweek smiley

Your last point isn't just your belief, its the truth!
With regards to certain jobs, light skinned girls have an edge (Modelling, Beauty Pageants etc)
Even in a co-orporate working environment, light skinned girls are attractive and tend to get jobs more than dark skinned cos their employers think they possess what it takes and have the tendencies to do marketing better.

I can go on and on... Would stop here though
And... Before I forget, You Are My Friend!!! wink
