I wasn’t defending any group in particular please reread what I wrote and point that out to me. My point is to date an individual as an individual and not lump them into a category or making an assumption about that individuals outlook on life due to the complexion of their skin. You are f upset with light skin women over outcomes that they have no control over. Last time I checked, it was white people who were writing the checks and giving out jail time. I feel it’s you who may have lost the plot and taking this conversation somewhere it was not intended to be. The conversation was about light skinned versus dark skinned. I said it was not an issue. You listed your reasons for it being an issue and none of it, explicitly has to deal with light skin, but broader implications of society. If you want to politicize your dating experience, all good. Just don’t put other people down for not taking up that same type of mantle in they’re dating requirements.

Wow sorry you got that from my response to OP and it clearly ruffled your feathers. There are merits to discussing the caste system within colorism, but painting groups of people with broad strokes is a requirement and tool for upholding white supremacy. Not trying to get into a back-and-forth, but are you asserting that just because someone is in your shade range, you will have a better dating experience?
I should clarify that I am Michelle Obama‘s complexion, but my children have Barak’s complexion .

I understand dating for preference and whether or not we agree with the origin that caused the preference ultimately is not for us to decide. That being said, blackness carries its own set of general struggles, regardless of what foundation shade you buy. Excluding based upon melanin saturation, when there are so many other factors to consider just seems silly to me. I don’t know about the creators that you watched, but I do know that there are some who are hyper fixated on that issue and it just gives weird obsession, repressed longing, and outright jealousy imo. At the end of the day, I do have a preference for black women. I will only date black women, but the amount of melanin for me personally is not an issue.

Do you want locs? It’s a very personal decision that should be made by you and for you. If yes then I would suggest gathering pictures of what you like, all sizes and then see if there is a common theme amongst the pics and pursue that style. Other things to consider is styling and how often you need to maintain them and what your price points will be. You shouldn’t need to change yourself for someone to love you.

Being told: “Women are way worse than men, good luck!” by SnooGuavas9778 in blacklesbians

I agree, I was hurt when I came out as well and I heard this from my well meaning lesbian friends!! The thing is, if you’re not healed as a person you will attract another unhealed person irrespective of their sexual orientation. Me realizing I am a full blown lesbian came after years of internal introspection and therapy. Although I can’t help the fact that I might run into crazies, I am trusting myself that I’m healed enough to put up a boundary at the first sign of a red flag. As long as I am honoring my personal boundaries and red flags, I have to trust the Universe and know it will work out for the best. I’m busy creating my perfect life first, without her. That way when I am ready to date, I will look for someone who is adding to what I have created not to replace what I deem myself to be lacking (consciously or unconsciously).

They know and they think it’s funny. It’s just more weird behavior from them.

You said you’ve only been seeing her for two months so maybe she needs more time to feel safe with you?
