  • I asked young Pakistanis what they think is considered beautiful for men and women in their country. Here's what they had to say!

    English translation with time stamps:
    1:04 - 1:26 I think in the Pakistani society people think that a girl should have long hair. She should be tall enough to be the same height as the guy without wearing heels and she should be fair (light-skinned) just like a model. I think that's the type of girl parents want to get their sons married to.
    1:29 - 1:34 The first think they will comment about a girl is how fair complexioned she is.
    1:43 - 1:54 We have a lot of desi totkas (home remedies) saying you should do this and that, and use certain products to make your skin glow. But its not about having good healthy skin, it's about having fair skin.
    1:54 - 2:14 In Pakistan, girls who are light skinned, have long hair and, are skinny are thought to be beautiful. But if there's someone who's fat or dark-skinned or different from these ideals, they're not considered beautiful. A lot of times families don't marry their sons to them because of this as well.
    2:22 - 2:31 Eyes are quite important, and Pakistanis prefer big eyes but not too big like that of a frog's.
    4:10 - 4:14 And we even have fair and lovely (popular skin-lightening cosmetic) for men as well, so that we can make them insecure as well.
    4:17 - 4:34 Men should have a fair complexion and be tall, preferably above 6 feet. And, I guess hazel eyes, and a good physique are good for men. We say that if a guy is skinny, he might get blown away by the wind.
    4:35 - 5:04 I think a guy should be tall, and be above 6 feet. He should have a deep voice, because our generation seems to like this trait. He should have colored eyes, light skin and have a well-shaped jawline. He should have a beard, dress well and smell good.
    5:47 - 5:58 But although, beauty is considered important, but I think it's more important that we see a person's heart (how good or bad they are). This goes for both men and women.

      @Blunt Vibez I seen some Pakistani reaction channels they are reacting on some actresses any any actresses have dark or dusky skin they call her Yeh Kya dikha diya and if any actress is very fair the call her ja Kitni Pyari Hai does that was not racism colour discrimination. Accepted it also happens in Pakistan and I see many boys of Pakistan who want fair girls chai Khud Kitne Bhi LOL dikhte Ho.

    Haha.. The irony is girls specially red one talking about being natural and acceptance of one's self with wearing tons of makeup and contouring, why you yourself are not accepting the way your facial features are? Being natural is not only about color. If you're talking about someone's colored lense or hair dye why do you wear fake color on your lips or whole face? She is talking about being natural with her artificial face 😂😂😂

      Her face is still real?? And what does makeup have to do with this. Makeup is an art. Most people do it for fun. Why are you putting other women down?

      @@Mai-wm7pv if make up is an art then highlights or coloring hair/colored lense are also art. Both do the same work yani change the look of person. So why this hypocrisy or double standard? Dying hiar is artificial but wearing that much makeup is natural in her point of view? She is pointing out those things of other girls while she herself doing the same .. N makeup face is not real, if it's real then why the hell people spend so much time or money to do it. It enhances or even chnages the features of a person.
      I don't have any issue with makeup or dying hair but I find it funny to hear someone calling artificial beauty to those who have chnaged hair color while also doing the same with her face. Talking about being natural with full make up face is ridiculous.

    Pakistani people are obsessed with white skin lol and most pakistani girls are very hairy, probably less hairy then Indian and more hairy then bengalis, northern pakistani are genrally lighter,cities likes Islamabad and azad kashmir and also northern areas, and North Western western pakistan
    The amount of TH-camrs on pak talking about skin whitening is unreal I thought it was Indian thing but pakistani are just as bad,even khakeej Arabs are obbsesed with light skin, in North Africa are soo much relaxed about skin colour u will see plenty of men with natural blonde hair blue eyes Maried black women and vise versa, there white is almost European white and prole don't care,
    Central asian people don't care either I suppose they are gnraly light skin including Turks,
    people who are usually obsessed with something is either they don't have it or they feel inferiority complex

      From my point of view, Pakistanis vary a lot in skin colour (and also in hairiness but that's another topic), depending on which group you are talking about. That variance is even among some of the "northern Pakistani" groups you mentioned. My family are villagers from Rawalpindi district (so next door to Islamabad and AJK) and we have people who are extremely dark skinned to extremely fair skinned, often in the same family. I know one of my khala's is basically black, or as brown as brown gets, and a few of her children came out with blue eyes, blond hair, fair skin, etc. - of course this was because her husband had those traits, but her husband was also related to her because he was a cousin of her father. I mean, we all marry within the "biraderi" for the most part, so this variation comes from way back when later arrivals (generally lighter skinned) mixed with the aboriginal people of the subcontinent (generally darker skinned). I've also seen this on my father's side where he has grand-nieces from the same set of parents with such different skin tones - one is relatively dark and could fit in central to southern India while the other is fair with light coloured eyes and looks almost Russian - so we know which one they had a harder time marrying off because of our inherited biases lol....
