Mhizkel:
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.



OP, 3 and 4 is not misconception. Both are all true.

Everything the op said is true. The light skinned girls are always preferred. If a couple of girls are sitting somwhr and there is one light skinned girl among them, she will be the centre of attraction. Dem no go see d dark ones sef. Being a dark skinned girl in this society is difficult, buh #blackisbeautiful

How is it difficult being a dark skinned girl in society? Dark skinned girls get just as much play as light skinned girls, so I don't understand why you guys complain.

Light is Attractive. You"ll definitely look at a light skinned lady twice before observing the other.

Same as you would look at a dark skinned lady twice before looking at ''the other'' if you lived in a country of white people. So spare us your slave bullcrap.

The latest, I can do with a dark skinned girl is to introduce myself, nothing further, they're not appealing to me.

It's true light skinned ppl easily get noticed but what does that fetch? A bunch of ppl lusting afta the body? Outward appearance can get attention but the real u, beyond d flashy cover is what will hold the attention. I'm light skinned bt bliv me, getting a good partner goes byond skin colour. lipsrsealed
