   You have to stop telling yourself that dark skin is ugly or not feminine.

   No one is going to make you feel better. It starts within you. You can start by having a positive attitude. The things you do for other people and how much you help them defines true beauty. Also, you can beautify yourself! You can put on make up and make your skin glow, because dark skin can shine beautifully too. Fix your hair in a nice style that you like. There are many things you can do.

   I would find some photos of beautiful women who have the same features as I do and are the same skin tone and I would keep them handy in a scrap book or even around my bedroom. When you start to recognize that beauty can mean many things (not what we see in the media) you will start to feel better. Look at how crazy men are about Kim Cardasian (sp?) and her big butt. Just focus on the positive reactions to the qualities you have.and be proud of who and what you are.

   If you are serious, you have some issues, since when are a big butt, dark skin, and full lips masculine?

    You have a desire to be White. I've seen some of your comments bashing Black women, but that's only b/c you don't feel good about your own self.

    It's only ugly if you're white. Pale whites are told to "get a tan" constantly because nobody likes their natural pale as a corpse color. Tanned whites will have to deal with physical premature aging because the sun is bad on their skin.The best color to be is my color. Light skinned black! Dark skinned black is still better than anything white though!

    Dark skinned is beautiful, epecially when a woman takes care of herself.She should be proud of your features and who you are overall.I'm darker then you with full lips and everything and I love how I look.
