[>Darker does not mean not good-looking. Sendhil Ramamurthy is dishy.

I do think there are more good-looking guys but they don't get a lot of opportunities. They are trying to break through but find it hard to do so since the industry is patriarchal. Only the sons get to carry the legacy forward so, the male outsiders find it tough to make it big.

I haven't seen anyone here drooling over black actors from HW . Ajay has been ridiculed for his skin colour. Women want fair skinned men as much as men want fair skinned women

As if Katrina, Deepika, Jackie and Shraddha are brilliant actresses. 😆



They are more famous for looks than talent. Some of them still cannot act but we are kinder to pretty girls and ugly boys.



Yes, I am sure guys are going gaga over Kat, Jackie, Shraddha, Urvashi etc 'cause they ACT so well. 😆

Pretty boys who bring mainly their good looks to the table don't survive unlike Chikni Chameli and Dance Basanti.

Tell me one really good looking guy who acted brilliant but us guys rejected him??? Loads of bullshit going on this thread🤣

Katrina is an Oscar worthy actress for sure 👏 Men accepted Jacqueline, Katrina, Shraddha for their brilliant acting talent. 👏⭐️😳

@bold- On an average, the light skin bias affects women more than men.

Rarely see fair men with dark women but the reverse is very prevalent 'cause women are socialized to value other attributes in men (social status, how well they provide for her etc) while men are mainly socialized to value looks in women.

In the marriage market, there is rampant discrimination against women not on the right side of the colour spectrum. Men can bargain with their social status while women have to bargain with their looks.

There have been cases where parents have to provide a higher dowry when their daughter is dark. Also they are harassed post marriage for their skin colour and constantly put down.

Forum standards are hilarious, DiCaprio is one of the ugliest men I've seen IRL. Lacquered in heavy foundation, very bloated, & dressed like he was trying to pretend he was twenty years younger & in better shape.

I do think very beautiful women, like very "classically handsome" men find it hard to be accepted within their own gender, unless they go out of their way to make themselves more accessible. Angelina Jolie was only loved post philanthropy & adopting Maddox. Aish is a different case but she always had the "dignified" tag, but she never had a giant male following like Kat, right? Rihanna (though I think she is greatly improved by makeup) only started being loved post becoming more accessible as a celebrity with "sassy" comebacks, more interesting fashion statements, songs that reflected more of an individualistic personality. It girls are very flash in the pan and the male audiences that eat them up move on quickly to whoever is next (Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, etc) All of the most popular celebrities on Instagram are pretty but approachable, nonthreatening types. (Like how Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani get the most likes, same with Selena Gomez) Even what girls rate as pretty & what guys rate as pretty tends to differ pretty largely accdg to surveys, the ones who do well are the ones that never skew to highly to rather gender.

Even in Bollywood, charm/likeablity is probably the biggest factor. Popularity always inflates the perception of looks. I personally think Taylor Swift looks like a rodent, but she's considered a "pretty girl".

Simple si baat hai. Name one actress who looks average but still became a huge star? Uhhh..none!
But there are superstars who are not goodlooking but still reached all the heights of success. It's a requirement for girls in general in society to be pretty whereas for guys it's not considered important to look good.
