Okay, I think we are pretty much on the same boat then. Though I don't find the likes of Barun Sobti and Vivian Dsena good looking.

Would you be able to elaborate on the scene and quote if possible, please?

I've seen Bend It Like Beckham several times. But I do not remember any offensive quote.
----------
On a side note, Indian men do famously have a problem with genital grooming. Indian men are uncircumcised and since Indians don't talk about genitals, Indian men are not taught that they need to pull back the foreskin and clean under it. Which is why Indian men tend to have schmegma. Most people accept it as norm unless they are medical professionals or have been with circumcised men as well.



I apologize in advance if I misunderstood or misremember the scene and dialogue (I only saw it once and it was several years ago)


When the heroine Jess falls for a white guy, her elder sister discourages it and asks her to stick to desi guys

She says something like "It's not like before you know, nowadays those boys are okay, they even dress properly, look nice"

Remember when Azalea Banks called Zayn a "curry scented bitch" 😆
The curry scent is actually not a BO issue but a ventilation/clothing issue.

In India since everyone is cooking with the same spices all over, we are used to the scent. Once we leave India the scent of Indian cooking stands out. After all white people don't season their food. 😆

It is not always unpleasant. Fresh Indian spices actually have a very nice scent.

It gets a bit stinky when it starts getting rancid with the oils and moisture in the air. Which is why you have to always use your stove vents and even open the windows to circulate air when cooking. An Indian kitchen in India is always well vented.

Fabrics especially wool absorb a lot of these odors, so you have to store them carefully - away from the kitchen and use mothballs if necessary. Even back home, Indians have mothballs everywhere.

If you live in climate where it snows - your winter boots and coats absorb the most food scent. That is why in spring/summer - you should air them out before putting in storage. Smokers reek the most in winter due to this absorbent quality.

I agree, Bollywood just does not have many attractive men compared to other cinemas.

Going crazy is different and writing omg omg with two blushing emoji is whole different thing( although its little reduced cause of his budhapa) I am just talking about online because its even more stupid in the reality. 😆

I mean there are plenty of good looking indian men, why dont like them? Why you have to pick this guy over them and pretend as if we have shortage of good looking men? I know you have your choice and you are a very independent woman but lets just keep this things aside for a while and think about this guy.
is he good looking? nope. is he attractive? nope. is he good bw personality? lol.

Ladkiyo ne he selective liking rakhi hue hai salman ke alawa kuch dikhta he nhi hai fir kya ghanta dusre good looking men dikhege.


LMAO. Exactly.

I mean.. yes, Salman of 1998-1999 looked good. But today he looks so bad. in TZH his face resembled an ape.

For some it's nostalgia but, I find it absolutely bizarre when some 18 years old finds sallu hot.

I made a very similar post but then changed my mind about posting it :-)

Indian food is delicious, smells delicious while cooking and eating but the smell later becomes stale and lingers... Not a probem in India but in the west. yes it's a probelm

The clothes that are worn outside shouldn't be worn at home esp while cooking bcz it absorbs the odor

And febreezing clothes regularly helps

I can see why you interpreted it negatively. It does have a negative connotation. I saw it more as her sister saying anything to make her change her mind.

I know many career aspiring women gravitate were hesitant with Indian men. Even today sometimes, Indian men and in-laws are not as embracing of the women's career. That has always been a valid complaint.

The dressing issue could be a generational reflection. Older generations of Indian immigrant kids were desperate to fit in and be accepted. They rejected their peers who dressed like native Indians or stuck out. Sikh girls thought men who grew beards and wore turbans would cause them to be targeted. So Jess's sister could have said that from a fitting in perspective.

Fortunately, today there is a wave amidst immigrants to embrace their heritage and not be ashamed of it. But many people still do have valid concerns about sticking out and being discriminated against.

Sometimes when Indian women comment on how Indian men look/dress - I see the bigger problem being the west's inability to embrace different cultures and different looking people. It is a fear reaction rather than genuine dislike for the men.

If one really wants to see good looking men they should go to Turkey😳 ufff sometimes i wonder how can they be so gorgeous☺️

Turkish Men > Everyone else


Have you actually been to Turkey or grew up around Turks? most of them range anything from average looking to ugly, they're more hairy than Indians, and the middle-aged Turkish men are unabashedly perverts who don't even bother hiding it. 😆 They are a far cry from anything you may have seen on Turkish television shows. 😆 The girls, however, are beautiful.

Exactly. I lived in Iran, and there were a lot of Turkish men in the community. I've also been to Turkey. They were perverts everywhere, and while it's true that on an average basis they are better looking than Indian men, they're still nothing extraordinary. 😆

Iranian men are creeps too but they're more attractive than Turks IMO.
