I'd argue that for me it's more about facial features than it is about skintone necessarily. My first wife, for instance, had a pointy nose, but then she also had very dark skin. My current girlfriend is very mestiza-looking, so pointy nose, mixed features and light-skinned. Skintone is something I'm fine with being darker; I'm very attracted to black women from Eritrea, Ethiopia and certain parts of Somalia, for instance, as a dark-skinned girl with sharper features and more pointy noses is delicious to me.WilliamSmith wrote: ↑August 29th, 2023, 6:10 am@MarcosZeitola
LOL, that's interesting, I guess you were dialed in to the Filipino beauty standards even as a viking warrior from abroad, since the guys from there (as far as I can tell from what you and @publicduende posted) pretty much set their sights on the, erm... well "whitest" Pinays that they can get their hands on, if possible??
African-style thick lips and darker skin, with more Arab-esque shaped hair, noses, eyes and eyebrows is kind of the "gold standard" for African beauties for me. But I very much share your appreciation for dark-chocolate colored ladies, albeit in my case the features need to be a little more akin to those from those three specific countries. I know, I'm picky in a mad way.
No shame in that. My own daughters by my darkest Filipina ex look very "Latina" in appearance; they're tall and well-built with my own European facial features, but their skin is more caramel colored and their eyes brown rather than my own green colored eyes. Their hair ranges from dirty blonde to almost pitch-black. A perfect combination. My son with the pale, more Spanish looking Filipina I'm currently with turned out looking fully caucasian, with blue eyes. But his hair is dark. He'll no doubt be a local charmer swimming in his nation's crème de la crème in terms of ladies.WilliamSmith wrote: ↑August 29th, 2023, 6:10 am
I'm the opposite: I love black women who pretty much always have adorable noses (which I wouldn't exactly describe as "flat," but compared with the super-pointy "Nordic" noses like I've got myself, comparatively so...)
So I guess my daughters will probably look something like Vanity here:
We're both conoisseurs, brother. Just with slightly different preferences. Which is fine, so there will be enough beauty to go around, haha.
