Yellow Fever

Three: Dude, I got those pics you sent me. Outstanding!
KZ: I do my best.
3: Who is that chick?
KZ: Some internet star.
3: So, you sendin' me redbones now?
KZ: What?
3: *African* you heard me. I knew you was into light skinned chicks.
KZ: What?
3: Why you smilin'? I can hear you smilin' over the phone. I knew you was into redbones. All that pro-Black, extra militant shit you be talkin'! You just a regular ol' African!
KZ: You buggin', African!
3: I'm serious. There's extra excitement in your voice when you're talking about yellow chicks.
KZ: You basin' this on TAD?
3: Yep.
KZ: That's one chick.
3: Yep. One yellow chick.
KZ: You didn't hear this excitement when I talked about dark skinned chicks?
3: Nope.
KZ: It couldn't be the difference in the women though, right?
3: Nope. It's because she's yellow. And you sprung on her yellowness.
KZ: That's your theory?
3: That's my theory.
KZ: You gonna run with that?
3: Like a looted TV.

Peace,
KZ

Whatever floats the boat... I tease my husband all the time about having 'settled' from all of my 'brown round' cause he swear he USED-to love 'em dark-black. But, when Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan 'nem hit the scene, he USED to try to allude to their attractiveness --on the sly. I'm like, "Dude, them chicks a shade or two lighter than your girl (me), I thought you liked 'em coffee no cream?" Glad he just like women is all I'm left to think; who can complain with all the stuff going on on 'da low'?

Part of me says date who you are attracted too. However, another part of me realizes that women who are closest to the caucasian persuasion (light skin, "good" hair) are the ones that seem to get the majority (not all) men excited.

Do you think TAD's complexion has anything to do with your attraction for her?

@Tiff
Sometimes you can't help who help like. Shit, ask them DL cats!

If a chick was dark skinned, she used to get all my attention. The only thing that TAD has changed is my discrimination. I'd automatically dismiss light skinned women (and women in their 20's). Now, I know anything is possible with anybody.

@Miz JJ
If you were to go through my blog archives, you'll see various names. All of these women except Thelma was light skinned. I was lamenting in one post about not being able to meet dark skinned women.

It ain't the skin or the hair texture, it's the woman. Definitely the woman.

Its all about what you prefer and what you are exposed to right??
For some reason I've never dated a yella dude, neva been around them...too pretty boy for me ..I've been told all the men I've dated are clones of each other but the looks never got me first..it was brains baby... If nothing else I'm consistent!! When most men talk about what they like its always a red bone with long straight hair..*sigh*
so its official you sprung?? awwwwww

Knockout Zed said...

@GG
What's the opposite of sprung? I'm that!

sprung: doing things that aren't the norm (for you) to please/excite/surprise/impress/gain points from the one you're with...

like a manicure...if not for TAD would you have gotten one???

being sprung is not a bad thing....

I used to date mostly dark skinned or medium brown men....my husband? Yellow like a slice of cheese.

What can you do? I fell for the person not the color.

Do you Zed. It's all about who makes you happy and who can tolerate you :)

OMG!! I'm laughing so hard at the title of your post. Funny and clever.

Little Brown Girl said...

Lightskin women?!?! Men still into us?!?!? I thought we was as played out as smokin crack...people still do that?

Anyway...I find it funny cause I am forever hollering that I "prefer" my men dark...however, seems to me that they prefer their women dark...which means I always end up with a light skin dude. ATL is a high yellow jamaican with curly hair. Complete opposite of my "preference" and yet I'm here and still smiling so maybe I dont really have a preference.

I agree that the person inside the skin holds more weight to me then skin color at the end of the day...besides I can still fantasize about the dark chocolate LMAO!!

Oh and by the way...I've never heard you talk about a woman in the context that you do TAD...If I might be allowed to cast my vote I'ma have to go with SPRUNG!! Accept it man...That would be you!!! And honestly it's very cute Zeddie...it (she) seems to be the one thing that keeps you smiling and for that we are all grateful (cause your azz was getting to be grumpy as hell)

Smoochies~

That's so funny you brought this up. I got my eye on this yella boy at the moment who normally wouldn't see the light of day with me. Hey, you can't always be sure what's gonna stir you up.

Its all the same color in the dark!

Gemini Girl aka GG said...

Nic, girl you are so cwazeeee.LMAO @ u!

aquababie said...

i've always been attracted to darker men. i dated one light skinned man. it was a very strong attraction. after a while, it didn't matter that he wasn't my preference.

you love who you love.

DivineLavender said...

I admit I am color struck. I always think about I want to have super dark chocolate babies with huge afros! I love to see my man all dark and shiny while he is on the basketball court. Seeing him get a few shades darker in the shower, loving the huge contrast between his white sneaks and his dark calves.


I admit. I love a dark man.....now I love a man with natural hair...a fro or locs...that is my weakness for all their goodness. So if he is yellow with locs-okay.

But hey, I dated for a year one dark Mexican...who looked like a light skin brotha. He was color struck...the darker the better for him and I was perfect for him.

I admit...I am loving 'em dark. Plus, a shiny dark chocolate-coco dark brown penis is the best!

Forget what you heard!

Real Divine Talk.
Thats All!

onefromphilly said...

Zeddie....it's ok to be SPRUNG!!
Really..it is..LOL

I'm older than you and I can admit it.. I'M SPRUNG and loving the hell outta it!!!
Cause, hell, if a man can text me and get me to running bare foot for a little rendezvous, then I'M SPRUNG, LMAO! And at my age that shyt is actually FUN!

You're SPRUNG TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disco said...

I miss 3..... how is that **African* doing? LOL

BZ said...

LMMFAO! Nothing wrong with personal preference. But, somehow I doubt her skin color is the primary factor in your attraction. I do, however, know that smile while describing someone over the phone. So, go'head!!! I'm really really happy for you.

calikim9 said...

Zed, you are Sprung!!! Enjoy, the world will not end...

Mr.Slish said...

Hold on I knoooooow there was more to that conversation...lol You must of had something slick to say after Ole boys last comment. Liks Ain't Yo momma a redbone! Am I not still paying child support for yo DUMB ASS!!!!

Knockout Zed said...

@All y'all
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to each and every one of you, but it's been a little hectic over here. I will try to respond in general.

No, I am not sprung! OK, I did get that manicure, but shit...*idonthaveagoodanswerforthat*

I just know I ain't sprung!

Robyn, 3 is straightening up his affairs in the D so he can move to LA in a couple of months. He's about to try his shit on the West Coast.

Slish, this is a snippet of a 30 minute conversation. You know I got my shit in!
