The only really black girl I know, happens to be the prettiest woman I have met in person in my life. She is the girlfriend of a guy at work who is Nigerian so I assume she to is Nigerian. She is dark as the night, high cheek bones, stunning smile and eyes that sparkle.I wish I had a picture, Everytime we have a work night out I just stare in awe.

Aww I bet she is beautiful! Hey thank you so much for acknowledging our skin shade! LOL take a pic!!! ROFL

I always think that people with darker skin look absolutley amazing in really bright, even neon colours ! oranges, yellows, cerise pink - I'm always jealous in summer when I see people majorly pulling them off whilst knowing I would look like a highlighter pen ! (being pretty pale) :smile:

Being 'pale' is amazing too! You can pull of any kind of smoky eye, deep blusher and wonderful nude--deep read lips!!!

I get complimented due to my facial/bodily features, not the colour of my skin.

Nobody has ever said that to me, my friends aren't bigoted morons.

I am a chocolate skinned black girl (gabrielle union), and most times I am reminded that I am the 'exception' (made to feel) 'pretty for a black girl' 'pretty for a dark skinned girl'.

This isn't complaining thread, I just wanted to know your experiences as a darker skinned black girl. Maybe share a few tips, what colours work well on our unique complexion :biggrin:

Whoever said your an exception to being dark skinned and beautiful needs to open their eyes, there are no exceptions to certain races being pretty! Some people are naturally pretier than others, race has nothing to so with that! All races are beauiful in their own way!
enjoy and embrace your features, regardless of race :biggrin:

Funny you say that someone on here messaged me the exact same thing

Yeah, it's mine :smile:

You look very pretty for a black girl :smile:

oh wow ok what do you mean by that?

I just think you have good skin :smile:

and facial features, pretty rare for a black girl :smile:

Please don't take offence... I just think you really pretty ok ?

Ok its hard not to but I'll let it slide.

It was a compliment, but I guess you guys really like to take things to another level ?
Why do you say it's hard not to?

Please don't be like the rest of them :smile:

Dude are you serious? I don't really know what to say.

Like what the actual? :s-smilie:

Post a picture!!! Nah, I'm kidding, I just like words, and I found your use of the words 'facial/bodily features' highly amusing
