Why men prefer lighter skin women

Takeshi Miike's Avatar
I like women because they're soft, they smell right, and they're relatively hairless. It's my personal preference and it doesn't make me sexist. If someone prefers white, black, Indian, East-Asian, etc., it doesn't make them racist. It is just a sexual preference. To be honest, there's a certain smell that some women have every once in a while that makes me want to kill every man in the room, take the woman, and run for the hills. As for what race the majority of hobbiests prefer, why don't we take a poll. I'm honestly curious.
LOL, I'd call her "MY WIFE!" But you knew that didn't cha?! Originally Posted by nuglet

I don't have issues with anyone with their preferences. Some guys won't see a BBW, etc.

I know plenty of white girls who prefer minority men. What would you call a woman who is hispanic or black that prefers white men? You like what you like, I don't think it has to be anymore more complicated than that....

Because a black man can walk by with a white woman and no one will take a second look, let me do it and well....its just different!

Btw, Ava, you are a beautiful black woman.
Healthy skin is sexy.

Back in the day, I had a FB who was the antithesis of what the U.S. used to sell as beauty. She was short, the color of her skin was very dark, her hair very short, and her butt would have put J-Lo's to shame.

About her skin, the tone was even and the feel of it was amazing. I'm not sure if it was good genes, diet (she was an accomplished athlete), or if she took extra good care of it, but it felt luxurious.

I also knew a redhead who didn't go for the porcelain look. She tanned. To this day, her skin is the best I have ever felt.

Lastly, I know a blonde who tanned so much in her youth, that today, her skin is like leather.

Bottom-line: No matter the color, healthy skin is sexy. Take care of your skin.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, no matter which side you are on. Some days, I LOVE my fair skin. Other days, I wish like hell I could tan. I have clients that adore my alabaster tone, and I'm sure many, many other clients pass me by because of it.

Interestingly, in most of recent history, fair skin was desired. It wasn't until recently, as travel became more convenient with airlines and the like becoming more readily available, that the "just back from somewhere tropical tan" became the desired look. Apparently because it implies that you have the money to fly somewhere far away and exotic.

Either way, my skin will be staying fair, for better or worse. As I saw someone mention earlier in this thread, fair skin is more prone to cancer, so I avoid UV rays as much as possible. If staying cancer-free makes me unattractive to some, I'm willing to accept that.

Growing up I was about as "color struck" as they come...I was just more attracted to lighter skinned black women than any other type of woman. I've certainly grown out of that to some degree, but I still love me some "Yellow Bones"

I don't think he is being narcissistic at all. The majority of hobbyists and providers are white. I am not offended by this thread at all and I am not white.....

Just my .02 but my "preferences" differ when it comes to light skin on a woman...

White women with light or pale skin Not so much but there is at least one poster in this thread with light/pale skin who I'd love to meet and one of my favorite ladies to see has light/pale skin...go figure

Black women with light skin Hell Yeah...lock me up and throw away the damn key!

Hispanic women with light skin Really doesn't matter light or tan, I find both attractive


Having said all that I guess I'm all fucked up in the head

Like Sixx said, people like what they like...I sure as hell know all women won't like my Dark Chocolate ass

Just to put a different spin on this, I probably fall within the "lighter skin is more attractive" bucket, but that's only a loose correlation. For me, it has to do with the shape of their features, particularly delicateness of them. Lighter, more delicate features appears to be more prevalent on lighter skinned women.


Not that that's 100% - I've met some darker skinned women with those types of features, and they're bombshells. I'd just say that, at least in my experience, it's more common on lighter skinned women (not counting acquired skin color, like tanning, as that doesn't change your features).


Ha - didn't even realize this thread was so old...sorry.
