Sure there is. When the Tower of Babel fell, they looked down and realized that they got the short straw.

That and the Overly-healthy Mongols never quite penetrated that far south. ]]></description>

ii) But in terms of improving the looks of Indian women specifically? No improvement.

This answer a question I had for a long time.   If Indian women adopt Western clothing and other habits, but their looks don&#039;t improve, that is actually a step back.  For a 5 or even a 6, a saree is better than Yoga pants, since Yoga pants are a negative unless a woman is 8+.  

v) OK, but then what is the explanation?  There is a certain ugliness in the Indian genotype (present in all of South Asia except the northernmost extremity) that is not present in nearby countries (Iran, Thailand, etc.).

Plus, when looking at pictures of Austro Aboriginals, they look far more like Indians/Sri Lankans than they look like any other major race).

Lastly, the &#039;dark&#039; genetic component is definitely not from East Africa, since if that were the case, Indians, as a hybrid of white Turkic Caucasians and Somali/Ethiopian blacks, would be MUCH better looking (and taller).

Furthermore, the Andamanese and Sentinalese, as Steve Sailer writes about, are probably the remnants of the original population of India before Caucasoid invasions from the North.  

By process of elimination, one really does have to conclude that the indiginous &#039;Dravidian&#039; population of the southern two-thirds of South Asia really is closer to Australoid than anything else.   There is no other possible component could be a looks-destroyer to such a degree.  ]]></description>

i) I reckon that the most overrated women in the world are probably Chinese, but that&#039;s just my opinion;

ii) Globalisation has certainly influenced India for the better economically and culturally. There is no doubt or question about this. I&#039;ve been visiting India for 30 years and I have seen immense changes during that time. And in fact Western trends and fashions have made their way to India and affected local fashion sense - for better AND worse. But in terms of improving the looks of Indian women specifically? No improvement.

iii) Because (a) there aren&#039;t anywhere near enough of them, (b) they are way more expensive than local Indian women, (c) too many Western models have that sick anorexic look that Indians do not actually like, and (d) unlike many Western fashion designers, who are gay and therefore both consciously and unconsciously design clothes to be worn by androgynous boy-like skinny models with thin hips and almost no breasts, Indian fashion designers make their clothes with local women in mind.

iv) Most Indian men don&#039;t travel outside of India and consume an entertainment diet that is almost exclusively Indian. You know that saying about the one-eyed in the land of the blind? That applies in India quite well. Remember too that only about 35% of India&#039;s population is urban. The vast majority is rural, and transport and power networks in India are pretty shoddy in the countryside. This affects the speed of transmission of information and culture greatly. I&#039;ve seen firsthand what things are like in rural India. It is vastly more isolated and cocooned than the equivalent in America or Britain.

v) I have no expertise in genetics, but from what I can tell, your argument is not correct. India has very little, if anything, by way of Austro-Aboriginal genetics. In fact, the mtDNA history show that present European DNA originated from somewhere in South Asia.]]></description>

OK, so :

i) Indian women are extremely overrated, perhaps the most overrated in the world, because Indian blue-pill chodes have been brainwashed into overrating them to an obscene degree.

ii) Globalization has not affected India for the better, since the Indian film industry neither uses its advantageous cost structure to make a film that can do well for Western audiences on Netflix (hence bypassing distribution bottlenecks), nor will they hire half-Indian women who are prettier than their Bollywood 7s.

iii) At least the fashion industry should hire half-Indian or foreign (Maria Sokolovski-type)  models, since there is no speaking role and no dynastic regime.  Why is this not the case?

iv) It is not merely white women that Indian men are chodes about.  Even nearby places like Iran, Thailand, etc. have vastly better-looking women than Indian women, and perhaps culture that is somewhat relatable.  But the Indian chodes are oblivious to how bad they have it.  

v) Why did India get saddled with a big chunk of Austro-Aboriginal genetics, when the Phillippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. should have this problem to a greater extent?  Yet, none of those places have women as unattractive as India.  ]]></description>

By that, you mean that the typical Indian man will say that a half-breed 9 or a a foreign 9+ like Maria Sokolovski is not as good as their Bollywood 7, or their local-chick 5s? Really?

Yes, really.

The average Indian blue-pill chode has a serious love-hate relationship with white girls. Indian men are told by their mothers that white girls are trashy, slutty, easy, and bad wife material, and that it is better for them to marry the girl that their parents choose for them - never mind that she might look like the wrong end of a dog.

As such, Indian men grow up with this very weird complex about white chicks. On the one hand, they are &#034;forbidden fruit&#034;, to be desired and lusted after and creeped on. On the other hand, they are treated with abominable stupidity by most Indian guys.

Indian guys are taught that white women are for fun - but are never taught the skills necessary to get white girls. This, despite the fact that Indian guys who make serious improvements in their lives often end up doing better than a lot of white and Asian guys as a result.

I&#039;ve personally seen a Russian woman complain about how dumb Indians are when it comes to white women and foreigners, and how unwanted their advances are. I&#039;ve seen that same woman get asked to take selfies with multiple Indian guys on a beach, simply because she was attractive and different.

Every one of those guys would still rather marry an Indian girl, because that&#039;s what they have been told is Right and Good and True.

Why is this market so unaddressed, even by the indies? Or are there no indies period?

That&#039;s very easy to answer. Indian movies are filmed for a completely different audience. An Indian movie is tied in to a song-and-dance number and that is part of the package. Western audiences long ago abandoned that nonsense in favour of straightforward plot and character development, but in Indian films, the actors and actresses are expected to dance and lip-sync to songs designed to become chart-topping smash hits.

Any Indian movie that does not conform to these expectations is going to have problems in the domestic box office. And any Indian film that tries to aim for Western markets is going to have problems getting distribution and licensing.

Crossovers in this regard only really work when an Indian studio bankrolls and finances a Western project - which is what happened with the superb film Dredd, starring Karl Urban. That was bankrolled by Reliance Entertainment but directed and produced by Westerners. And that is but one among many examples - Mira Nair&#039;s adaptation of Vanity Fair also comes to mind.

The only other realistic examples involve using an Indian cast for a Western project, like the execrable Bride and Prejudice, which had both Western and Asian actors and was quite successful at the box office.

That is not to say that Indians cannot make superb movies. They absolutely can. The famous Indian film director Satyajit Ray was often mentioned in the same breath as Ingmar Bergman, for instance.]]></description>

I think you underestimate (a) the exceptionally nepotistic and closed-off nature of the film industry in India, and (b) the outright chauvinism of the average Indian.

I am certain that I underestimate it.  Just when I think India can&#039;t become more underwhelming, you often tell me how it is even worse than that.

But chauvanistic?  By that, you mean that the typical Indian man will say that a half-breed 9 or a a foreign 9+ like Maria Sokolovski is not as good as their Bollywood 7, or their local-chick 5s?  Really?

I mean, I have been aware that Indians don&#039;t know the difference between a 6 and a 10, but still.  I guess this is an extension of that same concept.  

I guess this is quite related to how the prettiest &#039;black&#039; women are mulattos or even quatroons.  Halle Berry is surely just 30-40% black, and hence is the prettiest &#039;black&#039; woman of her era.  

is considerably longer than you might think.

But those are meant for Indian audiences (and arguably prevent them from assimilating in the West if an Indian in the West watches those).   I am talking about a film that could actually be marketed to Western audience, and thus earn revenue comparable to a mid-revenue Hollywood film (i.e. earns $400M).   The Indian filmmaker could make a huge ROI.  Why is this market so unaddressed, even by the indies?  Or are there no indies period?

If they are highly dynastic, then they can&#039;t just be pushing 8 face/6 body daughters of their own forever, even to Indian men who have never seen a 7 in real life

I think you underestimate (a) the exceptionally nepotistic and closed-off nature of the film industry in India, and (b) the outright chauvinism of the average Indian.

The half-breeds that I pointed out above are basically unheard of in north and east India. The real superstars are women like Karisma Kapoor and Deepika Padukone - Indian born and bred. Foreign stars like Sunny Leone have found it exceptionally difficult to break into the scene.

This also explains why this very prolific film industry produces so few films that a non-Indian audience wants to see

Untrue. Bollywood films are one of India&#039;s major export commodities throughout Southeast Asia - Indonesians love that shit - as well as the MENA countries.

Western audiences might find Bollywood films a bit ridiculous, but they do quite well in Third World countries.

Hell, if they make something good enough for Netflix, it could earn 100x its production cost

The list of Bollywood movies and films, including Netflix original content, that are available for streaming right now, is considerably longer than you might think.]]></description>

And second, the glamour industries in general and the film industry in particular are highly dynastic in nature, to a degree that make the Kennedys and Clintons look like paragons of meritocracy, transparency, and achievement by comparison.

OK.  Then Bollywood (forget the regional little industries; Bollywood is the only one non-Indians have ever heard about) will wither away.   If they are highly dynastic, then they can&#039;t just be pushing 8 face/6 body daughters of their own forever, even to Indian men who have never seen a 7 in real life.  Eyeballs will find their way to the Maria Sokolovskis and other either half-Indians or non-Indians.  

This also explains why this very prolific film industry produces so few films that a non-Indian audience wants to see.   I mean, they could at least make 1% of the films in English and meant for an International audience, but they can&#039;t seem to do that despite the high profit margins.  

I don&#039;t think &#039;Slumdog Millionaire&#039; was a very good film, but it did earn 30x its production costs just because it could sell to Dollar/Pound/Euro audiences.   Hell, if they make something good enough for Netflix, it could earn 100x its production cost.   So many people, yet they can&#039;t even produce this.  ]]></description>
