Statistics says mixed women date white men more (look at the internet), but I don’t know about light-skinned women dating them more too. Yes, it’s unfairly hypocritical that I like mixed or light-skinned women, but I’m complaining that they don’t go for black guys like me. In the end, I must give up and just date someone else, even though they’re not my ideal preference. I will just say this, then: how is life motivating if I can’t be with the person I want? Also, don’t delete my account, please. I’m going through something; I will get over it sometime. I feel like if they do like black men, it’s only because they’re not very attractive-looking by white men

    It’s a reflection of the colonial era patriarchal caste system. Select for someone who brings you stability and happiness, and bring that person back the same. Keep in mind what’s important. Read some books about happiness.

    Over 50% of the U.S. population is white. That means that if everyone chooses a partner at random—or at least without bias due to race—people from all groups will end up with white partners most of the time. So that statistic means nothing with regard to your dating possibilities.

      Yeah, but that’s not really a good excuse because they’re more likely to be around blacks more than whites.

        Wouldn’t being mixed-race imply that half their family is white, and the other half at least tends to associate with white people?
