  4. The Realist says:

    Ugly as fuck!

    I’m only attracked to my own race though. Worth mentioning, I think there are more or less beautuful women in any race but not in a attractive way.

    This is just one of those ugly ones.

    Rafael: Men AND women do tend to care for race, it’s only natural and nothing wrong. Skintone is nothing I care for, only that the woman I see is of the same race.

    Love your race and herritage.

    Btw: This woman is a great actress but beautiful? Hell no.
