Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
Judging from the size of some female Guppies I don’t think that would be a good idea. Bechaarey itne chotay se hotay hain, k2 par se gir jaey ga.

Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
The phrase “tall, Dark and handsome” is used by westerners who find dark complexion pleasing to their eyes. But being dark in subcontinent is not a sign of beauty or good looks. So you won’t too many desi female agreeing with the ‘dark’ part of that “tall, dark and handsome” cliche. That might be the reason I see so many sarcastic remarks about Pakistani males from female guppies.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
u might find that westeners originally(also) refered to spanish, italian people as tall dark and handsome, who are not really dark but have a golden tan.

Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
Then the phrase should be “tall, golden and handsome” but its not so I still think that that phrase was meant for us, Pakistani males.

Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
A lot of Pakistani guys do look Mediterranean, my cousin tells people he’s Portuguese, another guy I know says to people he’s Italian.
I’m tall, golden-white and handsome and always say Paki 
A lot of Pakis do look Madrasi though.

Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
They must be wondering around too much under sun.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
no i think they are born with darker skin... in pushtoon society you can get various skin tones, a yellowish type, are dark type, and what they call red and white ( rosy complexsion) they prefer the rosy complexion... there are plenty of dark skinned people.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
The average height for men in my family is about 5"11 and we have a couple who are 6"3-4. I am sure I am not in the minority.
I am a midget though, so I guess me and my mum bring down the nation height average between us.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
It was heaven all the way for me Baby,
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
That’s very true even in the tribal areas. Punjabi and Urdu people seem to think all Pashtuns have rosy complexion, brown hair and blue/green eyes which is not the case.
Yes compred to other people from South Asia Pashtuns on average are fairer but there are also plenty of dark Pashtuns. I would say a clean golden-olive complexion, dark eyes and dark hair are most common amongst Pashtuns followed by the ruddy complexion, followed by the brown skin but not a greasy slimy sort of brown.
As for white skin, brown hair and green eyes, plenty of people from the Northern Areas (Kafir Kalash etc.) and a lot of Hindko and Northern-Punjabi people (with no Pashtun blood in them) also have these but you can tell from their looks they’re not Pashtun.
You can tell if someone is pure Pashtun, mixed race or a complete fake by their facial features and built.
As for Salman Khan, he definately has Indian in him, you can tell by his eyes and nose but he’s also got some foreign in him like Afghan/Pathan or Iranian or something.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
lazy_daisy: Exactly the point I was trying to make if you can read between the lines.
Some of the Somali men compare favorably with the Bard Pitts of the West. They are cut out from the same stone so should be similar…
If I remember correctly, the phrase “tall, dark and handsome” was used by Margaret Mitchell when she introduced her hero Rhet Butler in her novel “Gone with the wind”.
Re: Malaysian men feel “threatened” by tall, dark and handsome Pakistanis
Ranjhan - most of the Pashtun's I see are a light brown (golden brown) with very dark eyes and hair. My husband is one of the few I have seen with olive skin and blue eyes.
But hiccup, I am 5'8" and I am taller than most of the men I have met from Pakistan. I am the same height as my husband, eye to eye all the way :) This, alas, keeps me out of my high heels most of the time, except when with my husband. He doesn't mind if I am taller on occasion :D
Most of those shorter men are older. I work at a University and I do see the younger generation is much taller than their parents, some towering over their parents at graduation.
Tom Cruise is a tiny man 5'2" though his bio says taller. They frequently have him stand on a platform for scenes with taller women.
