Is "good-looking Muslim male" an oxymoron?!
Maybe I am too picky and will never be romantically interested in anybody, but did we get short-changed or what?! (Especially us South Asian women. There are many South Asian beauties out there, but come on, how many cuties?) My cousin is facing a similar challenge overseas. I guess I am destined to be a spinster. I don't care. Romance is for fools anyway.

Wow! It's great to come back after a while and see so many people respond. I can't believe this thread has picked up steam. Anyway, fabio, I have seen plenty of ugly or average looking white guys and other non-desi guys, too. And there are some good-looking desi guys. Too bad they are not in my territory. The funny thing is, I happened to see two very attractive Muslim guys at different times but they happened to be blonde! Imagine me meeting blonde Muslims. They were non-desi obviously. But I am not into blondes. There is something special about dark-haired cuties.
Why is that our mothers teach us to have low self esteem, not that you want to be conceited and cocky or anything but really?
there is a reason we aren't picky, if we wanna stay with our brown boys you CAN'T be picky bc you won't get anything
and still they act like snots
I mean really
FOBIO gag...ewww gross Only Old 80yr grannies go for him yuck
Brad Pitt, well obviously Jennifer Anniston wasn't hot enough he left her for Angelina Jolie, shows how fickle men are and again how they can pick and choose from so many beauties..
BTW tons of desi girls are HOT, unfortunately same can not be said for the other gender ..... wonder why?
is it all makeup?
That being said, we South Asian men of mediocre appearance can often be *very* funny, even if only in our own opinions. Give it some time and you'll see how funny we are, too.
One last thing: I don't think (as Sabz02 says) "you'll be lucky if he's average." I mean, maybe if you're expecting Brad Pitt (in which case, you'd better look like Jennifer Aniston yourself!). Most *Pakistani* guys, in this humble heterosexual man's opinion, are *at least* average. It's just about breaking the "OMG he's hot" threshold, which is nearly impossible to attain when you're eternally and genetically cursed with man-boobs and a belly.
It does get depressing though at times
sighh inshallah things work out for all of us
Sista you made my daya! I expected the usual not-so-funny-but-trying-hard-to-be sort of a reply which more than once turned me off naseeb and coming here. Wanna be friends? Then we can talk more and maybe even commiserate!
I agree with you though, perhaps not an oxymoron but a rare sighting if at best. I had read on brave brother in his entry actually admit to this widely known truth.
I figure what are looks, let's face it if you want to marry a desi guy, most likely he'll be a genius etc, but not overly attractive, you'll be lucky if he's average. The girls on the other had are really beautiful and plentiful, hence the reason even should I dare say it "ugly" guys can pick and choose from the girls without fear of marrying an ugly girl.
Look on the inside, inshaAllah we'll all end up with some one sooner or later. and if not then...Heck I'll trade sides I'll marry arab!! hahaha
