Is black really beautiful?

Hi I am kind of new to g@g and I wanted to know what you think about this 😊 So i was sitting in class behind two boys, one was black and one was white when I overhear them talking about girls. They were laughing and listing what they find beautiful in girls. Then, the black guy pipes up and says, "Dark skinned girls are ugly". That really got my hopes down and made me feel really bad about myself. I see in the media and other places and they always list dark skinned black girls as the least valued in terms of attractiveness. That really hurts due to the fact that I have dark skin and kinky curly hair naturally. Is this true that men don't find us desirable? I've seen beautiful dark skinned ladies around where I live and this just hurts to know that even members of our own race thinks this way about us. And please do not leave racist comments. If you do I will report.

  • I suppose you live in predominately white country, and it's normal to expect that in such country white will be more "popular".

    But, it's not true for every man and I believe that guy wouldn't reject you because you're black. Do not feel bad because of opinion of one man, there are white guys that prefer black women too, it doesn't mean everybody is that way.

    • I live in America 😞

    • Yeah, most of the west is predominately white. But why do you let opinion of one guy make you feel this way? Like I said, it's not good to base your view on opinion of one guy. It's his prefference, not everybody elses. It's like being discouraged because a guy says he doesn't like long hair or something, there are others that do like it.

  • We're all beautiful!

  • Unfortunately society has made the majority of people come to believe that black is not beautiful... Most girls would bark at me for saying i like lighter women better which only indicates their insecurity. There is nothing wrong with people having preferences but sometimes its best to keep things to yourselves. That being said, its impossible to satisfy everyone...

  • Not my type.

    • Nobody cares what your type is 🙄

    • That's not the question I have asked

    • Type can mean race.

  • i dont think u should give them any importance
    everyone is beautiful for some one

  • i've seen afew hot black women.

  • i definitely have preferences but when i see an attractive person, their race or whatever doesn't matter. If you have some sort of defining quality, it's always cool to me. Ofc there are always gonna be close minded people out there... but who needs them (they're the backwards ones).

    • Ik that everyone has personal preference but it really hurts to hear these things 😔

    • It hurts, but don't worry about it. You'll surround yourself with good people and filter out all of the shabby and superficial, racist, uneducated folks.

    • also... how old are these boys? Because if they're older than 15, I really hope that you don't take their words to heart. They're uneducated idiots... and you don't need to take their opinions to heart.

    • What?

  • no, you ARE very beautiful. Some guys just have what they call a preference. I know white women who find dark men very attractive, and white men who find dark girls attractive as well. It's just about what one is attracted to.

  • Its not the skin color, although that is part of it, its also having more masculine features and not having pretty straight hair that other races of women have.

    The second reason would be my kids would look more Black, whereas if im with a mixed girl, latina, Asian they will still look pretty White. With a dark skin Black woman they won't.

    Then you have the fact that many Black guys dislike White guys, makes it more annoying to try and date a Black girl. dealing with them.

    Then you have the fact statistically they make less money than Asian or White women, they also have high obesity.

    Sorry if that hurts but its the reality.

    If you take care of yourself, are in good shape and not overweight, athletic with a nice butt and open yourself up more to White guys/other cultures you WILL find someone. You can be thick too, White guys do like thick girls, just not fat, there's a difference. But if you dont and expect other races to go fro you its less likely to happen for the reasons i mentioned

    • Afro hair is pretty though, and we can always straighten it out.

  • Sorry, but black women are uglier than just about every other race on average. There are some beautiful ones, but they are rare. Hell, even Beyonce had to get surgery to make her nose less wide and always straightens her hair out so that it isn't kinky.

    • That's rude

  • so, you only care what the black guy said?

    • Yes because even they treat us like shit

    • you're not listening to the question

    • Yes 😑

  • still hot

  • What? that's crazy ! I think every race has something beautiful like some Asians dislike their eyes while they look attractive to me ! Brown girls wish they were fairskinned and white wish they were tanned So we all wish things we don't have.
    Also when it comes to love everyone has a personal taste and it is not based on race.
    I think black girls have beautiful mature bodies and always nice full lips and toe they seem like strong girls with attitude ;p on yoitube there are many black beauty guru's and their fanbade consists of guys and girls from many races !

  • I find darker women very desirable.

    • Nice :)

    • Don't worry, people have different tastes some men like white women others like black women, it depends on the man.

  • Yes, dark skinned women are beautiful.

  • Race makes very little difference, if any at all. There are plenty of beautiful dark-skinned girls, and there are plenty of ugly light-sknned ones too. Same with white girls, Latinas, and Asians.

  • You want the truth? Black girls are seen as less attractive in general. But I definitely know some white guys out there believe that black women are the hottest in the world! It depends on the individual.

    I'm in the same boat as you, being an Asian guy. We're at the bottom of the barrel in terms of attractiveness. The traits of Asian males and black females go against the expectations for their gender. So Asian guys come off as more effeminate, black women as more masculine. Depressing but true. Just look for the minority of people who will see the beauty in you, cause they're out there.

    • That sucks I've seen so many hot Asian men as well as black women

    • I think Asian men are really attractive. I hate it when they get eye lid surgery and shit, because that's what I love most about them.

  • They're one of my least favorite

    • Well that's sad how u don't like someone because of their race

    • I don't dislike them as people, but for dating they really aren't my thing.

  • That's a horrible thing to say. I've went to school with dark black girls and they were all really beautiful. One in particular was the image of Rihanna but darker skin.

    • Yeah many are so beautiful and people don't see that cuz of skin color it sucks
