Is it normal that i love lighter toned men?

Ok well i am african american and i am mainly attracted to other races (mainly white guys). For some reason, im not that attracted to dark skinned guys,and im dark skinned myself!! I love lighter guys when it comes to dating,and im not sure why. Why should i dislike darker people,when im dark as well? Is this normal???

    Every color is beautiful. But everyone has a preference. I will date any girl I'm attracted to, color doesn't matter to me. I do prefer girls with a darker complexion but would not make it my only choice.

    I don't think the colour of your own skin really has much impact on your preferences. There's no rule that everyone has to like the things that are most similar to them. I most certainly haven't limited myself to white European stock and I can't see that I ever will.

      It doesn't always, but it definitely can if you're racist. I've talked to other white people who aren't attracted to black people for definitely racist reasons. I'm not saying that being attracted to people of certain races is always racist (I don't think you can really help it?), but I've talked to people who it's pretty obvious with.

        I wonder whether it's two different forces at work. Whether racists would still find people of other races attractive but be so screwed up inside that they could never bring themselves to admit it. Perhaps not even to themselves.

          I think that's what's happening, yeah. Some people think that interracial relationships are gross, which is confusing to me. Maybe they think black people are sticky? I can't really wrap my head around it.

    you have a gift from the creator that you should be happy to pass on - unadulterated, unchanged. marry someone like yourself, learn to love yourself. show your gratitude by passing your gift (unadulterated, unchanged) to your children.

    Same here. I'm a White guy and feel attracted to non-White girls and Indian girls in particular.

  • Quite normal. Quite a few black women have hit on me before...hardest temptation I've faced. I'm intrigued beyond belief and find black women very sexy.

    I'm African American, and for some reason, I only find myself attracted to white guys. Anyways, you like what you like, and if light skinned dudes are your preference then that's fine.

    It's normal to like unusual things that people expect you not to. You're are free like to like whatever you want, and chase after it. Besides, I'm not white either and I like white men.
