average built woman. I have seen this description often enough on here and it got me wondering. Why the emphasis on skin tone? So my question is does colourism exist amongst Africans? Or those of African descendants? Do we practice discrimination? Why do we view darker skinned women as less desireable? Does it matter what her skin tone is? Women seem to be impacted more than men. As I am yet to see a description that specifies how dark or light skinned a man should be as a potential partner. Your thoughts are appreciated.

I think everyone has specific qualities they want in their partners. It's just a thing of choice. Although some talk about these things ignorantly sha. Light skinned men are really not my thing when it comes to love, even though there are a lot of them in the world.

It's not discrimination. Discrimination would be to act as though they don't exist.

Very rampant in Africa, that is why mostly Nigeria ladies
want to virtually filter their destiny away with bleaching lotion.

Africa men are momentarily waking up to this effect.

First of all, I admire ur observation. But ladies' choices on skin tone in this part of Africa is baseless o. A man makes his choices between attitude and beauty of a woman. A woman prays to be chosen and also works on her beauty and attitude to have a better chance of being chosen while d man works on his finances. If however a woman wants her man's skin toned, she'll tell him subjectively and not by choice or authority ...that's by d proper man-woman romance

I'm not ignorant of the fact that ladies nowadays choose men and not men choosing dem and even tell d men the haircut or skin tone he must keep..such girls don't marry till 35. Its a man that grooms a woman not the other way round.

Colourism exists look at any magazine, promotion of beauty products and you will see that it is always fairer women. There are men who specifically state that they only date woman of mixed heritage - white & black, “lighties” as they are called in my neck of the hood.

That’s your definition of discrimination? So being marginalised or completly excluded because you have darker skin tones is called what excatly?

I personally prefer darker girls. There's something about them that brings out my primal instincts. I also like light skinned girls too, but I like dark skin more.

This is simple to answer for a guy to gage his chances of success with me he would have gone through a mental checklist and that amongst other things would have been ticked as more than meets the average national requirements.

It's just a supposition. I do agree with the fact that in many occasions men seek out light-skinned ladies over dark-skinned ones but it's just a matter of choice and taste it's not like common to every man. I know a lot of guys who find light-skinned ladies very repulsive.

Why does it matter to you so much which side I swing? Occasionally when I am exasperated I will engage sarcasm as that yields far better results than trying to be civil with people.

I included that point but it tends be women with darker skin tones that are viewed as unattractive both sociallly, in the media, beauty and fashion industry. Look at the beuty and fashion campaigns for black owned brands which one has a dark skinned model. Same for music videos? Why is skin bleaching a billion dollar industry in Africa?

Don't get too deep, it leads to over thinking, and over thinking leads to problems that do not even exist in the first place.

Whatever complexion your skin is, just keep it neat and glowing.

Problem is that when one doesn't shower well at least twice a day, the skin can be irritating to the eyes especially when the person is dark complexioned.

As for height, it matters to me. I can't deal with short people, they can be so difficult. Don't tell me not to generalize, I've dealt with many before to come to this conclusion.
