A light skinned lady or a Dark skinned one?

Jackie Appiah

This topic has always been around for a long time and many dark skinned  ladies have received serious backlashes for trying to change their skin color by bleaching their God- given beautiful dark skin. No doubt it raises the question of self-esteem on the part of such ladies. Asides that, do men, particularly African men prefer light skinned ladies? Most definitely, this is a case of preference and like the video below will concur with me, there is actually much more than just the complexion that a man looks out for in a woman, but it seems the ladies in question have lost sight of that fact. Personally, I like both complexions, but there are other factors that come into play that I can’t even begin to explain.

Perhaps it’s because the fair skinned lady  is usually easily more noticeable or attractive from afar given the brightness of her color, that’s one of the probable reasons why they are ‘allegedly more sought after’ which the dark skinned ladies don’t find funny at all. So they go about trying to be a lighter version of themselves to feel more attractive too.

In a nut shell, I’ll say beauty lies in the beholder’s eyes and ladies should be proud of their skin color and not pay mind to any opinion or ‘popular belief’ that light skinned ladies are more preferable, and even if the guy they are crushing on comes out and says he prefers the other skin color other than her own, she should not let that dampen her self-worth but rather work or show more valuable and interesting characteristics such as her sense of humor and intelligence for example which may just win the brother over. So dark skinned or light, you are far more of a lady than your complexion.
