I believe that, whether we want to ADMIT it or not, looks DO play a big part in our attraction to others---not that it WORKS all of the time---but it does play a part. As a result, oftentimes, it messes up our judgement of others.
When I was "on the dating scene" (young and definitely naive), I had this thing for "light-skinned" men. I don't know why, I just did. I THOUGHT that I found the perfect light-skinned brother. I was going to marry this dude and we were going to live "happily ever after"----NOT!!!
This dude ended up being one of my WORST relationships. Now after going through all kinds of stuff with this dude for about 4 years (I mean classic SOAP OPERA stuff), I happened to meet my husband (a VERY attractive, yet relatively DARK-SKINNED brother who I DIDN'T even FATHOM would be my husband). This was the man who treated me like somebody. This was the man that showed me respect and treated me like a lady. This was the man that I "clicked" with. This was the man who SHOWED me what the REAL meaning of love was. On top of that, this was a YOUNGER man. THIS WAS THE MAN, YALL!!!
And now, here we are, 10 YEARS later and this man is STILL here. Just think, I could have missed out on this BEAUTIFUL relationship based on the color of his skin---based on his LOOKS. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
