I was reading an old post by a black provider who claimed that the whiter the woman the more beautiful she was perceived to be, and pointed out that even with black women, the lighter her skin color the more in demand she would be. How many of you agree with this mentality?

You brought this up. I just saw a provider website that specifically stated she doesn't see a certain race  I thought it was realllly strange to be honest since I've never seen it anywhere but BP or CL. Race doesn't matter to me but of course I think I have a preference like everyone. But in the end personality and attitude do it for me over race. I like to taste the rainbow.

If you like mates of a specific skin color you are racist.  If you like mates of a specific gender you are sexist.  If you like mates that are human you are specist.   Any other thought crimes that I missed?

I like to taste the rainbow myself! As long as they're respectful, I don't care what race they are. Seriously.

...provider posts that have race restrictions. Particularly those who won't see clients of their own race. I'll grant that I see this much more in places like BP or CL, and I think there's a location demographics aspect to this as well.
.
For example, when I lived in the South Bay area of California (i.e.: Silicon Valley) I saw a lot (maybe 25%) of provider ads that excluded men from India and Pakistan.  In Los Angeles, I see ads that exclude black men, even when the provider is black. I suspect that each provider has some rationale for doing this, and I am in no position to challenge their reasons. But it still confuses me.  
.
As a person who has worked in retail and services businesses for over 30 years, I can say that turning down business from a potential client for any reason means my business suffers revenue loss.  Money (at least in the US) only has one skin color:  Green.

I love diversity of thought and ethnicity. Having sensitive skin, softness of the skin/hands is important. Recently I validated for myself that  beauty and talent (reviews) may get me in the door but it's the general vibe, aura personality whatever you want to call it that has the greatest impact on my enjoyment.  Skin color has nothing to do with it, from the Pasty Ladies of the North to the Ebony Goddesses, in all shapes, sizes and colors in between ,I lust em all.

Invisible people are so hard to find, after all.

I don't understand when I see these ads either!!  Anyone who posts race exclusions please come forward and advise of your rationale!!  
Is this similar to ladies that have age restrictions? My clients range in age from 21 to ????  so that is another one I don't really get.  I see ads often that say 40 + only for men.  
I live in the middle of WI and 99.99 percent of the guys that I see or answer my ads are white.  When someone is not Caucasian I am actually pleasantly surprised!  
So yes, as long as you are clean, sane, a gentleman and have the green,  I don't give a shit the color of your skin or your age.    

So I'm disappointed to admit there's NOTHING about your post with which I can disagree.  I will say that skin color is less important to me than other attributes, though I don't gravitate toward the darkest tones.  That said, there's a gal who advertises here who has incredibly dark skin whom I find absolutely gorgeous.  Personally, I find mixed-race girls the most attractive, especially Blasians.
The only mixed race type that repulses me is Sino-Sicilians.

Of the PC crowd. Well put.

I totally agree with you  herbtcat.

I have similar preferences to you. I don't like super black, or super white, but everything in between is cool, from a very light tan to chocolate brown.

I really don't give even a single shit about race, but there are certain physical characteristics that are more prevalent among certain races. I tend to go for small women, with good skin and delicate features, and yes there are women of ALL races that fit that bill, but to be perfectly frank about it there are going to be a much higher percentage of women from Vietnam who are going to fit that bill than from the Sudan.  

It isn't about color, it's about proportions (link relevant).  

Sometimes it may have to do with the provider's perceived ideas about a person's particular culture, a bad experience with one particular client, and sometimes it's just plain old racism.  

I was actually just thinking about posting a message like this asking if people had a "favorite" race/ethnicity.  I've only been with white women and asian women.  I'd like to experience time with all kinds of people though.  I don't think it's racist if someone doesn't want to sleep with a person of a certain skin color.  I've never been turned away based on my race, however I've sites from providers that I was interested in and they state on there they will only see people above a certain age which I fall under.  I say it's a bummer, but I move on, and don't view it as they dislike younger people.

.......you must be bored. I am but i have an excuse, i am laying out today because of what feels like a pending cold what is your excuse.

...the same race but with different skin color.

or is she from some Nordic country?

If you will re-read my OP you will see I clearly stipulated "in your private life" when I asked for the lady's opinion on this subject. I have ZERO desire to re-litigate the "NBA policy" that many providers have.

and yes, her ancestry is most definitely from some northern European country.

When it's actually the first thing that you DO see, along with someone's clothes.  The point is, what do you do as a result?  If I see a nicely-dressed white or black guy (or any color) I think we might have something in common and I'm not concerned. If I see someone of ANY color dressed like a gang-banger, my antennae go up.  So what?

Not really color blind and love all colors. I am a little particular on size. I prefer petit and fit bodies for me explore and enjoy.

.........ah, yes, I did in fact see the "personal" in the foot of your original post but i was not only referencing your post in part but also the expected responses to your Post that went in the other general direction.  Possibly you were gleefully sitting back waiting for the Posters to take the RACE bait and run with it or it may have just been any unexpected happy return for a lucky cast into murky waters, either way.....it goes roughly 50/50 just the like the Country does.  

Any woman who is willing to suck my dick is at least half as attractive as I need for me to want to fuck her.  :p
.
The other half comes from a variety of aspects of her physical appearance and her personality/sexuality.

Yes, I agree completely. I do "notice" color, only an idiot doesn't notice whether a person is black/white/yellow/brown, but like you his skin color makes no difference in the way I treat a person. There are just so many more important factors than skin color to judge a person by, but it's really a load of PC crap to claim "I don't see color"

Horse Racing?

I hope you are not denying that racism and sexism is real  . You can kid yourself and some of your fellow comrades...But I can tell you (and you all know it) SOME people are downright RACIST,SEXIST ,and whatever other ST there  is.And we  are all free to do so.In fact I think all providers should make it know where they stand so as to avoid conflict.That's  why P411 is a good site, it allows providers to check the boxes.

Well said .The problem I have with some people is when they try to deny other people's reality.

"No Viejas, no feas y no gordas"

So what the hell am I attracted to,  the white or the black/brown these girls offer?  Actually, I am turned on by black girls and red heads.  If you label me a racist I can give a crap less.

is of no importance whatsoever to me.

I have been with women of various ethnic persuasions, providers and civilians. If I like the woman's looks, I check out the price, I like the price, I hire her.  I am so sick and tired of people's judgements, you cannot win. Most are hypocrites anyway.

This thread was about skin color preference.
A topic that has not been discussed here very often. Why sideteack into something that has been discussed to death and beyond?

..........was looking for one of the latest trendiest catch phrases in case i witness "Reality Denial" ....what i found was simply "Delusional" seems to apply suitably, problem is many  get a little defensive when they are labeled "Delusional" because Others seem to want them to live Their "Reality" ....maybe too much emphasis is being placed on putting everything into tidy little boxes with tidy little labels on them

I guess I am like several of the guys here including GaGambler (perish the thought!) in that I prefer some sort of tannish skin. I am even OK with dark ebony (not my first choice), but literally cannot deal with milk-white skin. But my true show stopper is blue eyes. I am ONLY attracted to girls with brown eyes. I can see a Nordic blond, blue eyed type and tell they are pretty, but I have literally no attraction to them -- movie star quality or otherwise.  

If you read carefully you can see that I said people are free to  be whatever they want to be.The problem I have is when someone try to tell another person that their reality is a lie .

...and it's not specific to race, skin tone or color. I went through a phase early in my p4p "career" (staring in the early 90s) where I wanted to experience a wide variety of women. So I had sessions with as many different "types" as I could encounter -- Asian, African-American, Latina, etc.  

...hope this won't cause a stir,but...i don't do green...

are nor whether they're from a shithole country, so long as they have a modicum of class.  

I prefer young, not overweight, and not too tall. Apart from that, I can't really generalize about the physical characteristics that I find attractive. Skin color, along with ethnicity, tit size, ass shape, hair, etc., I look at a girl and just think "wow, I'd like to fuck her." Or not as much.

You are the one bringing up an useless discussion about bigotry.

exits thread

Where did I mention bigotry? If a white guy prefers black women does that make him a bigot? Of course not. It would however mean that "skin color" was a factor in which women he chose to see. How about if a "brown guy" preferred white women? Or if a black guy preferred Latinas? You see the world in very black and white terms, it's a sign of low intelligence when a person is incapable of nuance.

Funny, all the " gangbang" porn that I've seen the people have been nakid. You have something against nakid people Jake?

Considering seeing a black massage provider

can be attractive. Gentlemen are gentlemen. And assholes are assholes. Doesn't matter what color they are, as long as they are respectful and kind I'm gonna want to spend time with them.

Hijacking a little bit, but I have advocated that TER switch from a single "ethnicity" data field to two new fields: complexion and cultural heritage (or Country or Ancestry or something like that).
.
First, many guys and gals ARE interested in color from an appearance perspective, not an ethnic one. Then, guys and gals are interested in ACCURACY. I proposed that TER add a color chart of skin tones to the Review Form and let guys pick the one that matches their hostess.  See the Mattel Skin Tone Color Chart, below.  
.
Common examples: I have known "Brazilians" from Espresso to Coconut in complexion so "Latina" or "Hispanic" is a USELESS descriptor. I have known Asians from Coconut to Mocha (overdid the tanning salon). "African American" can span Espresso to Peach. "Native American" usually means "white" and that can span  
Coconut to Honey.  And you all have examples of your own.  
.
BY USING A COLOR CHART, WE GET TO SEE IMAGES and not have to imagine what "AA" or "Latina" or "white" actually means.  
.
Second, TER tries to use ethnicity for color ... or for culture ... or who knows what?  A second data field should indicate those aspects of her personality and upbringing to give us a clue as to what she is like, culturally.  This one could use more input and debate, but you get my drift.  
.
Here is just one thread on the topic in Suggestion and Policy:

That should make you tons of new friends here. Dope. Jesus.

your wing lady.

If I find the woman attractive, skin color matters not.  My personal preference usually favors Latinas, but I find women of all colors attractive.  It depends on the individual.  

Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander and mixes of all the above, I have never been with an East Indian/Pakistani type, not for any reason I guess, just haven't gotten there yet.
I tend to choose women based more on their features rather than their color or race.  If they have a pleasant face and body I am down.  That being said, I have been with more white, hispanic and Asian gals than anyone else.  Don't think I am a racist, but since I am a white male everyone automatically assumes I am.

We all have biases, whether they are racist or not is another issue.

I prefer dark-skinned women, but I have a weakness for pale women, too.  

I used to know of a provider that was Black that didn't see Black clients. I asked her why and she said that her parents were very socially active locally and she didn't want to risk running into someone they knew.

beauty knows no color......course Orion slave girls give me a hard on.

Dude, no need to tell us all the reasons as to why you don't find black women attractive. We (monolithically) are not lamenting that you don't like us for arbitrary reasons. It's funny considering I can literally think of 3 black women in my area who who fit your profile. Nonetheless, I don't care and I speak for all of my sisters in saying, WE don't care.

All skin color is beautiful, ITS THE PERSON persona that gives me the vibes. I personally think black woman are beautiful.. I always believe that saying "Black dont crack", hell look at oprah is she ever going to age??

Only midgets or clown gangbang porn. I have standards.
I didnt come here for friends, but I get the feeling that you  
want to be my special friend ...

Name them, other than yourself. Not CrystalLite (was on my list, but her reviews and looks have declined enough to make me say no), not Miss Mocha, (not my body type, but sweetest personality), not LondonDior, but close. You are on my see list, but now I guess you won't see me. Isn't that ironic.

It is just personal preference. Why on earth would anyone hook up with someone that they would not under any other circumstance find attractive? This by no means indicates that dark skinned girls or light skinned girls are not attractive or that people who do not favor those types are racist. People have different tastes, and that is basically it.

This makes sense..... but this is why I always ask for the client's full name and a current face picture.  I live I a small town and yes, I have had to turn away clients because when they sent me their actual info I knew them.  

Really - You started this klugey thread?!?
