Tall dark and handsome has always been a fan haired man. “Tall, dark and handsome” has never been race specific but feature specific. Dark features, mysterious dark and alluring personality. ~a black woman who’s an active book nerd that realizes what it meant years back

Obviously not lmao. Yes they mean a dark haired white guy. Sometimes a they mean an “olive skin tone” but still white guy. White women are some of the least likely women to marry out of their race

yeah unfortunately that has been a phrase since before it was even remotely acceptable for a woman to say she wanted to be with a black man. it meant a white guy with a slight tan 💀

Really tall dark and handsome will look different for anyone. Doesn’t even need to be a dark skin man. Can be brown skin etc just the dark features

That’s true too it can also be related to dark personality. But let’s be real the image in their head is what kind of guy lmao

I mean my perception of tall dark and handsome was never white. It was always a man of color. Even now when I read like dark mafia for the first time I wasn’t of a white edgy looking leader. And tall dark and handsome was really not that dark I just thought it meant alluring men
