henrybomb:
I don't av issues with gals dat are light skin naturally but u r dark and u decide to bleach..does dat mean guys will be drooling after her?

LoveMe4real:
Hmmm o your eyes have seen things

LoveMe4real:
Do you need an estimate to know dark skin is condemned in all parts of Nigeria? From the north to south, God help you if you are ugly and dark on top. Nobody remembers black is beautiful
But people dont even chant fair is beautiful because deep within them they dont think its necessary to. But thats a distorted mindset.

People may not openly condemn dark skin but if they bleach and give all honour and glory to fair skin, it means they have done that in their hearts

LoveMe4real:
Oh now i see your confusion. You are not a Nigerian
Why did i waste my time arguing with you sef.

Oya bye bye.

No no. I know of the bleaching epidemic
And the light vs dark skin women is a trail in every Aro/Black group,nationailty notwithstanding.

Beamborla:

You got it all wrong.


This is way different from your interpretation.
The point is, a dark skinned lady often come second to a fair skinned lady. While a fair skin could earn a pass mark even if the lady is facially plain, it's not so far a dark skinned lady... Comments like 'she no fine but I like her dark skin is hard to come by'

LoveMe4real:
good morning. But if she is not hot nko? will you still praise her complexion? Will the average naija say nice things about her dark skin? talk true o

Lastking147:

Why nat? I'd praise her complexion a thousand times
Its beta than those girls bleaching and carrying dark spots errwia like a leopard

Oahray:
You know why I asked for an estimate? To show you that the 'few' and 'majority' you've been talking about is an offshoot of limited experiences.

Do you know that some persons on this NL call some light-skinned persons albinos? Do you think that's a compliment? If you doubt me, run a Nairaland search on albino. Some others accuse anyone that's very light-skinned of being a "low-esteem bleacher". Yet when one tries to remember persons obsessed with skin colour, it's easy to mention Mr Cork as anti-darkskin. Why? He's louder than most.

What's more, when something touches us personally it's easier to notice and remember it. I guess you've gotten negative vibes about your complexion and you think light-skinned persons are always on the greener side of the comments fence.

LoveMe4real:
Dear who is making them conscious of their skin. Animals and trees?

Beamborla:


I'm actually one of the black skinned ladies who get compliments on their skin. My argument is not based on emotion

On this forum, only one person so far has been referred to by people as an albino because of his skin color. Yes, sometimes an extremely fair person is accused of bleaching. What I make of that, story for another day. Nevertheless, most times, smth negative about that person is involved.

Omotola and Jenevive picture was once uploaded on this forum and majority went for Omotola. A handful, Jenevive and few seem indifferent about the skin color. A thread asking guys to chose between fair skinned and dark sinned lady once came up and the same thing still played out. For me, Mrco.rk does not count in this issue.

I'd use my people as an example. You hear majority of them saying things like 'Omo Pupa' fair skinned and it's often in admiration while when they say this; 'Omo dudu' the chances that it's said in admiration or insult is 50:50.
It's no secret which skin complexion is favoured by most of the South Easterners.

I agree that not everyone is guilty of this. Some even do it unconsciously...I'm not talking from limited experience. Present a man with a beautiful fair skinned and a beautiful dark skinned lady...I can be my khaki that he would go for the light skinned.

Oahray:
if I'm that man, you'd have successfully lost your khaki. I have a preference for dark skin (but I acknowledge and respect differing preference). That's why I tackled your first post where you implied that there's no one chating "Black is beautiful" who truly believes it. Don't presume to know what goes on in the minds of others. You only have access to yours.

So you even have people complimenting your colour and you are arguing that people do not truly think darkskin is beautiful? You believe they are all lying, right? Or perhaps you think yourself so stunning that they 'forgive' your complexion. Or maybe like many persons you prefer to dwell on negative comments and discard positive ones as untrue and inconsequential.

Persons who think darkskin is ugly are simply louder. There are a considerable number of persons who prefer darker skin. You are the one reading meaning into every expression and drawing conclusions.

Only one person so far? See what I said about you making assumption based on limited experience? You assume you've read every post since NL inception and know their content. Are you willing to bet your next FGN 'alawee' that it's just one person? If you are right I'd give you the equivalent.
