Anyone else notice how skin tone changes the way people act on dating apps?

I’ve been on Hinge and Bumble off and on for a while, and I swear the difference in attention I get depends a lot on whether I’ve got a fresh pic up or one where my skin looks a little darker because of the lighting. I’m a dark-skinned Black woman, and I live in Atlanta, so you’d think people would be more used to seeing every shade under the sun, but nope. Some guys are super friendly until they realize I’m not the “light skin mixed girl” they probably had in their head. Then it gets weird or they just stop replying. What’s throwing me is that I’ve dated interracially before, and one guy I saw for a few months in Decatur straight up admitted he “usually goes for lighter girls” but liked my vibe. I appreciated the honesty, but it still messed with me. Has anyone else dealt with that? I’m trying not to take it personal, but it’s hard not to feel like skin tone is this whole extra filter people don’t admit they’re using.
