| do caucasion people find east indian people attractive
Posted: 12/22/2006 6:46:41 PM | I have to admit... I find Indian women to be incredibly attractive!! Hard to say exactly what it is... dark feaures... typically long dark hair.. beautiful brown eyes. I have seen many that were breath taking quite stunnning.
I have often wondered the opposite, do Indian women like caucasian men? Is there a social stigma? I know there is a strong sense of family and alot of traditional values appear to be predominant.
Great question! | |

It's kinda funny. I tried my hand at dating Indian women a great deal when I first moved here to California. I'm not one to stereotype, but this has been my experience in every single case;
* They were recently divorced. I don't think I met a single one of 'em that hadn't been married before.
* They were open to the idea of dating caucasian guys. That never scared 'em off, although at least two of them assumed, when my ad didn't state my race and had no picture, that I was Indian.
* They played as many goofy head-games as caucasian women. One of 'em had it down to a science. The big one was "I'm just looking for friends" (...and that's why you're responding to ads in the romance section, from a guy seeking an LTR. ya. makes sense.) Only one of 'em was honest enough to tell me "this isn't going anywhere. try again." when I asked her for a second date. Kudos to her.
* Two of them had more issues than a magazine rack.
On the other hand, they were all smart, cheerful, and most of all... fun! They may have played me like a violin, but at least the dinner conversation was worth the price of admission. | |

 ...looks like you had a bit of a time with Indian ladies in California .The thing that surprised me was how you said that they seemed to be all divorced .Thats really unusual but it also serves to kind of fly in the face of one of the stereotype of the downtrodden Indian female .Shows its not true.......the stereotype I mean . I think it can happen...in India and in western countries that if an Indian woman percieves that she has been personally oppressed......she decides to shake off the shackles as it were and those are the ones that you came in contact with . Best of luck .
BATCHELOR
There's no social stigma attached in Indian/Caucasian mixing .The only consideration is from the traditional family values point of view .Indians like to stay married(barring the ones that WONKABAR is quoting) They are not into "relationships" as such.They are into marriage/family/kids etc and they are kind of wary to meet the same.............usually!
Anyway......I see its quite accepted here now after Indian/Indian.....then Indian/Cauasian | |

A belated thank you
Not to split hairs but Indian women are not a single race of women although I understand where you are coming from when you say that .Indians are a diverse racial/tribal/religious/cultural "nation" Entire separate nations under one banner-India. | |

And I found *this* out entirely by accident when I started posting ads specifying "east Indian" women. Even though "Indian" has gone out of vogue in reference to what most now call "Native Americans" (the original, tribal peoples Columbus found when he got here) in the US, I still had all sorts of problems.
When I posted asking for "Indian", I got people asking "feather or dot"?
So I started asking for "east Indian", and I got people asking "what's wrong with Calcutta?"

Posted: 12/25/2006 11:46:32 AM | Merry Christmas everyone..just stumbled across this thread..As a born and raised Indian, who has lived in Canada for the past 10 years. I can honestly say from my experiences, that asking a question whether Caucasions find Indian's attractive is generalization at its best.
First off, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one may consider attractive the other may consider repulsive.
Everyone has a different intepretation on beauty; it often is more than skin deep.
Basically, it depends on the Caucasian woman and the Indian man in question.
I know that most Indian guys myself included, find good looking caucasian women 'attractive'; and would be more inclined at times to approach the attractive Caucasian female than one of Indian background. I think that it is something to do with rebellion. Even though I have all the freedom to date who ever I choose, my family would 'prefer' me to date someone of a similar background. Caucasian women tend to have more life experiences than Indian women in general (generalization sorry) and tend to be more 'friendlier' and easier to approach. I've been turned down way more times by an Indian woman than a Caucasian.
I have dated some Caucasian women, who said they found me attractive..and there were others who didn't want to look at me twice. (lol so it all depends)
Hope this helps... | |

Posted: 12/25/2006 12:43:10 PM | I find many East Indian Women very attractive.
Dark skin is sooooo sexy!
BUT, I have hung out with East Indians quite a bit
and often wondered if the cultural thing, wouldn't
be a barrier. Especially if her family was quite traditional!
That is a conflict and stress that I would not care much for! | |

| do caucasion people find east indian people attractive
Posted: 12/27/2006 5:03:57 AM | Not sure what kind of stress and conflict you are indicating there but I would only say that from the Indian point of view that the families tend to be concerned to know that the man/woman is doing the right thing and being with the right person.So in that sense it looks to westerners like the family is interfering .To the Indian its like the family cares .
Anyhow I am not too sure either how much contact American/Canadian Caucasians have with Indians as such but I know a fair few people in my family,at work and in my social circle that married white Britons or Europeans of some discription and there's been no conflict apart from the intial wariness . Strangley enough too the more traditional the Indian family......the more accepting they can be . A friend married a white guy from a well heeled family and she is from a very simple working class Punjabi family.They met at work .The girl's family were pleased in that they didn't need to search the arranged marriage route and saved time,money and feelings and nabbed this guy that anybody would be happy to have and not to sound mercenary he was educated ,goodlooking and the British family didn't want a dowry!
They are well pleased with it all.
They say that the English parents are so very happy to be given a nice welcome when they visit her family with this couple and they are so happy to be so included in their social life .The Indian family are happy in that the English family doesn't want special consideration like Indian in laws would . In actual fact I would say that all the Indian woman/white Briton couples i know-they are 100% successful but where its the other way round (Indian man/white woman)its about 70% successful.Thats just my observation on those I know .
Its not true either that Indian women are treated as second class citizens within the family or community .Everyone has a role to play and every family is different .I know from my own and those in my social and family circle that the women are pampered ,protected and respected.Me...particularly.I have the most doting family imaginable
Last thing is that if anyone is looking for an Indian spouse and doesn't know where to look.........

Posted: 12/27/2006 2:53:35 PM | I am an East Indian that was born in India and I came to America when I was four years old. When I was growing up, my parents empasized to my sisters and I that they just wanted us to marry Indian men. Less complications with dating someone who has smilar background to yours.
My oldest sister did but my middle sister married a man who is Japanese. By the time she wanted to get married, my parents did not care who we married as long as he treated us well. Both my sisters and their husbands are very happy and have been married a long time.
I myself, have never been married and most of the men I have dated have been caucasian. I prefer caucasian men since that is what I have been exposed too when I was growing up. I do not know who I will marry and as long as we have a good partnership, the rest will work out, as long as there is communication. | |

Posted: 12/27/2006 8:13:58 PM | There are a lot of Muslims that don't take it that serious, just like us fallen Catholics...
Back on track - A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman.
I do have a SERIOUS weak spot for Asian/Indian/Pakistani women. Especially the ones with the very 'anglo' features, very dark skin and curvacious hips...that's a killer combo if you ask me, don't know why.
There's a serious problem though, it's really tough getting past the cultural barriers. Around here they're a very tight-knit community. I'm not exactly a hot commodity either. | |

Posted: 12/30/2006 9:43:49 AM | Hi everyone, i have just signed up onto this site. I tried to find the profile of the person that wrote the original mesage in this discussion. I couldnt find it but i assumed that the person that started this discussion had to be an east indian male, yet the bulk of this discussion has ended up about east indian women. Im sure the the original poster was an EI male directing his question to caucasion women.
Anyway, i am a Sikh male born and bred in the Uk. I am a very proud and partiotic Englishman. Aside from this, us Sikh men have a huge problem>>>>and that problem is that east indian Sikh women do not like men with turbans. All of the women in my family are married to clean shaven, clean cut men or married to christain men. Us men have been totally segregated from the young EI community as foriegn and EI women are ashamed to be seen with us in public.
So what is happening now is that turban wearing Sikhs have been given no choice but to look for marriage with a caucasion woman. So my question is>>>>do caucasion women find Sikh men attractive to date and for long term serious relationships. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 8:37:42 AM | Oh that is so not true that Sikhs with turbans have been segregated and Indian women are ashamed to be seen out in public with you ! Young trendy girls prefer a clean shaven guy and thats because they want to intergrate into a western lifestyle.The guy in question is still usually Indian . I have seen turbanned Sikhs getting married ,no problem and they have got married to Indian AND white girls .I found it unusual that white girls think a turbanned Sikh is ok,to be truthful but seems like they can be quite accepting about it .
I think I have seen 6 turbanned Sikhs with white girls and I know for a fact that 3 of these were married . One has been married for 30 years to a Swiss woman.
I was introduced to a guy that did NOT have a turban etc
and I turned him down because as we met,he wanted my opinion on my feelings for WHEN he would keep the hair etc and I was taken aback by it all. My hesitation had him saying that he was a deep thinker and had faith and values etc etc and Indian women who had lost their fAITH WERE PUTTING HIM ON THE SPOT .Next thing I knew....I was having to defend my beliefs and suddenly I thought.............I don't want this...leave me alone and my family were fine about it.Otherwise he was goodlooking and professional and all the things that I would normally be looking at. | |

Posted: 1/3/2007 11:59:33 AM | Hi Dil Dil,
I am actually speaking from my family experiences and from what i have seen in my region of England. I work for an office that has a very huge population of Asian staff. During the lunch breaks i see all the hindu, Sikh and Muslim girls hanging out with the clean shaven Asian guys, yet the Sikh guy is always sitting on his own in the canteen having his lunch. We dont even get invited out to socialise with the teams after work. As i have stated earlier, the women in my family are married to non-Sikh men from my generation. My sister has lots of lady friends but never introduces me to them....infact she hardley ever talks to me because even my own sister sees me as a man from a totally different culture. I dont get to hang out with my female cousins because of this.
I have a relative who is a baptised Sikh and has reached the age of 35. His family have been trying to set up a marriage for him for ten years but non of the Sikh women want to know him.
i am nearly 30 years old and i have never had the chance to have a one on one conversation with an Indian woman, the conversation always ends up as two people from two totally different cultures trying to chat. | |

Posted: 1/4/2007 4:12:03 AM | I have no doubt that what you are saying is true although,I find it unbelievable from my experience .Particularly the part where your own family has this negative attitude and your workplace surprises me too,because at home,work or socially I have seen Sikhs included by Indians/Pakistanis and whites and no problem at all. My brother has Sikh friends .We are Sikhs but not Singhs...put it like that.My Dad had long hair till he came to this country and we are so proud of him .So cute.I show all his young pics to my white/Asian friends anywhere,anytime .I have cousins in India that wear turbans and they are really handsome too.Classically handsome.My Dad does say though that there are Sardars and Singhs...ie; smart Singhs or just a Singh.lol
My cousins are smart Sardars as in Harinder Sandhu ( Bhindranwale's Spokesman that was)type of classic smart Singh or you can get the simple Singh Daler Mehnidi type or Manmohan Singh type but whatever type he is.............I don't see what you see at all.They are not shunned and I am amazed at your family's attitude and please forgive me for saying so.
Two of my girl cousins are married to these handsome businessmen Sardars albeit in India but those two girls look like me and those guys have been here many times and we are proud of them both.Been all over Europe with them and never had any problems.
When I was at university there was a young couple where the girl was muslim with a hijab and the guy was a Singh...lol  We thought they looked cute walking around holding hands.Even the hardline muslims were ok with that one and thats surprising because normally they don't take to that kindly at all..
I came across another Singh recently and he was saying that he has problems but not to the extent that you do . He was proud and thats why he had long hair extra.He told me this in ghetto/rap talk...da and wot u dunin etc and I said to him......why don't you talk like a Sardar instead of just looking like one .I think it set him thinking ...he got my point anyway. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 11:52:29 AM | | Generally, the East Indian women with European features are more likely to become desirable than the many variations of ethnicities in the Asian Sub-Continent. Bollywood is more likely to pimp this type of actress off as opposed to say, a Dravidian with very dark skin. It's the same thing they do in Thailand. The actresses are generally the mixed Thais with European. Incidently, if one should see an Indian actress with blue eyes, I wouldn't eliminate the probability of 'color contacts'! | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 12:53:04 PM |
lol
I am afraid that you can eliminate the probability of contact lenses for Indian actresses with blue eyes .Blue/green,grey,hazel eyes are not as common in Indians as in Europeans but they are still common in Punjabis,Kashmiris and other Northern Indian tribes.
Aishwarya Rai has blue/green eyes and they are hers naturally.Obviously it always happens that Europeans think that they wear contacts . Not so. Indian features are Indian features such as hers.There is no attempt at Europeanising a face thats already hers . Dravidian actresses are also in demand in Bollywood ie Sridevi,Rekka,Hema Malini .These were top top actresses .UK Celebrity Big Brother has paid £400,000 to a dark Bollywood actress Shilpa to appear .She is South Indian and these are usually Dravidian .She is a top actress as of this moment. Rani Mukerjee and Kajol were/are top and they are darkish too .
Now you may say about hair.Indian actresses have been known to colour their hair.In history-Indian women hennaed it.But the hair is still their hair.Its sleek and natural .Its not a wig and its not extensions either.......lol.If anything Indian hair is used for wigs for the west.Brown,red and blond hair again is not common as in Europeans but brown is common for Punjabis and red/blond is common in Kashmiris .Check these two men out,
Rohit Bal who is a fashion designer and Rohail Hyat who is a singer .Rohit has freckles too .
And the thing to remember is that the hair,eyes and features are Indian and thats something that needs to be clear .
I would say that light eyes(blue/green) are found in 20% of Punjabis and a higher number ofKashmiris.Same can be said for the hair colour. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 1:05:53 PM | I stand corrected! I obviously haven't seen very many Indian movies. As far as blue eyes and contacts, I couldn't help but think back at the time a girld told me how 'unique' Rick James was for having blue eyes.  | |

Posted: 1/7/2007 11:38:58 AM | Caucasian is not a term thats used over here in Europe, although I would imagine that most people know what it means . Its not offensive .
Coming back to Bollywood-it was and is dominated by N.Indian ie; Punjabi guys and South Indian actresses in the past.Punjabis dominated in producing,directing and starring.The S.Indian culture is a tad less strict than the northern one so you had those women acting .
The tide kind of turned recently (10 + years ) where N Indian girls decided to try their luck .Its not considered a good occupation . Thats why folks are suddenly seeing these "european " looking Indian actresses . For eg;the Kapoor family have been big in films for 3 generations but they never let one single female of theirs act in films till Karishma and Kareena Kapoor did so about 10 years ago .Then Esha Deol entered as well.Mahima and Preity Zinta etc .They always looked this way its just that the world is a global village and these are in films so more people get to see them now.Thats all . The Kapoors are Punjabis and they are all extremely light in skin colour,eyes and hair and they always have been.
Bollywood only shows a cross section of whats already there and they are only aiming towards the Indian market . If certain people like Ash Rai,Preity,Mahima,Kareena,Karishma or Hrtick are light....its not really noticed by other Indians as such. | |
