I kinda relate to this, I'm Middle Eastern and I think I prefer girls of Latina or European background because ME chicks are similar to Sistas in that they are drama and think they're hot shit/princesses. Not all of course, since I had one steady Turkish gf in HS for 2.5 years and we got along great. It only ended cuz she moved away. Since then I've just been having fun
However about what someone posted about girls preferring darker skinned people, I get a lot of attention from Indian/Pakistani girls in my area (lots of em here) because I actually have a fairer complexion than most of their guys but I'm still similar enough to their appearance for them to be comfortable.
I think it's all relative to the culture, ,my people from Caucasia (Persians/Armenians/Georgians/Kurds etc) dont care about skin tone since most of us have a nice neutral wheatish complexion, Indians, Arabs and Africans seem to prefer lighter skinned guys whereas light skinned girls prefer guys with a healthy tan.
Another thing about culture is that some of them (girls) simply wont date a black guy, or indian guy, or *insert whatever here* because they were brought up to look down on them. Racism sucks. :/
Oh and Blondguy, I've seen the same exact thing lol
The weird thing is, in the rare instance I see a white guy with a black girl, she's at average an 8 or 9. It's surreal
