The most good looking men aren't even the most popular in BW - Page 7

Salman is the most popular I would say and he is/was known for his looks. Theres also Hrithik, Akshay, and then Ranveer/Ranbir from the younger generations. Up and coming - Varun, Sid etc.

Its really only SRK thats not good looking and Aamir too. The rest are fine.

Aamir too was a rage among girls when he made his debut

Salman was good looking in his youth but definitely not now. He's a 50+ uncle with sagging jowls and fake hair, etc. I don't think his popularity now is based on looks.

The point is that actresses like Shraddha, Jackie and Kat manage to survive and do so well, mainly 'cause they hold the attention of the audience which has the power to influence the industry.The female audience currently does not have the purchasing power to be able to tell the industry who/what they want to watch on screen, hence most movies cater to the male audience who actually matter (monetarily) to the film industry. No one called the guys in this form jealous or insecure. We were talking about a general phenomenon which exists. Calling out sexism does not mean saying 'all men are sexist'.

And I am not speaking about the boys in the forum. I am speaking about boys in general. In India yes there is a problem about preference of fair skinned girls, yes there is problem of girls not getting to do what they want. But that is not I am disputing my thing is simple I simply did not liked the implications in the first page of this thread where it was made to look like males don't allow good looking boys to flourish in the industry because we are insecure and get jealous of them. So we make average looking male actor bigger actors. Also my question of one good looking guy with loads of talent who could not make big because we got jealous of his popularity with girls is not answered.

@LordOfTheLight- You may think it is unreasonable because it doesn't affect you but does that mean the rest of us affected by it should not call it out? Sorry, but continue whining about our 'whining' some more. 😆 Also, did you just say patriarchy has to do with how men and women are wired?

Did I say it doesn't affect you ? .. obviously with your rants , you have made it clear that it does affect you .. and I am not saying that it is unreasonable for you to be affected .. what I find unreasonable is the way you tried to pin the blame , it's like you did it with the first thing that popped up in your mind without thinking over logic or reasoning ... "I blame misogyny for everything" is well , just plain stupid ..


How can you justify pinning the blame on Indian men who supposedly don't accept untalented good looking male actors when the untalented good looking actresses are accepted without a problem ? .. isn't it obvious , why ? .. ones sexuality cannot make one misogynist .. why on earth would straight men be bothered to accept a gorgeous guy who can't act to save his life or who doesn't bring anything inspiring on screen ?... you should be addressing this question to women .. why are they wasting their drools over 50 yr olds ? .. instead , you found out a twisted illogical way to pin the blame & that's what I was talking about ..

Edited to add .. regarding patriarchy question , your interpretation is the polar opposite of what I wrote in my previous post .. I meant , besides/ other than patriarchy , there is also the question of how men & women are wired diffrently & how it affects their choices ..

Aww you are calling arguments 'stupid' and 'illogical' just because you lack the ability to understand them. 😆

I don't understand why you're getting so worked up over this and getting personal. I guess that happens when you point out uncomfortable truths to people.

Don't know how to explain anything to you 'cause clearly, you aren't mature enough to discuss stuff without resorting to condescension and insults.

Who really cares about looks in this field especially in bollywood. The girls considered hot are for timepass item songs and showpiece use.

Calling ARGUMENTS stupid & illogical is personal attack ? .. clearly you havnt been on the receiving end of actual personal attacks, have you ? .. 😆 .. I did not call YOU names , just the arguments which were made here ..

I see you have already made a judgment on my comprehension skills .. not surprised there .. this what people usually resort to when they don't have anything productive to add to their argument .. happens, no issues .. 😆
