People are turned off because you’re insecure about your dark skin…

I’ve tip toed around this subject long enough. I feel like I’ve had to be a ballerina dancer with my words around dark skinned Black women my entire life.

Some black women are so broken and damaged they don’t even like to be called “dark skinned” despite Webster’s dictionary defining melanin as “dark skinned pigment.”

Here are some beautiful Black dark skinned high paid models who don’t mind being called dark skinned.

Final thoughts

Dark skinned Black women,

If you feel alienated it’s because confident people don’t want to hang around insecure people. No one wants to be made to feel insecure for having lighter skin.

It’s hard to date you because you’re constantly jealous and comparing yourself to lighter skinned women.

Sometimes people avoid dating you not because you’re unattractive but they don’t want to deal with the drama your insecurities bring.

Just like you want to be accepted for who you are people with lighter skin tones want to feel accepted for who they are.
