Discussion Looksmaxxing when you’re Indian.

[xadxtya]

From the statistics I’ve seen, Indians have the lowest SMVs which is demotivating since I’m an indian myself.

How can I start looksmaxxing?

Just like everyone else. I'm pakistani but luckily I'm not dark or short so I have some good chances, from ratings I've been given a 6.5.Its all about the baseline.

1. How dark are you? Do you have hyperpigmentarion on any areas?
2. Height. Are you above the height threshold? (5'8) in my opinion)
3. Frame, how good is your frame to build muscle
4. Face shape, is your face symmetrical? Do you have a lot of facial fat?

Focus on these areas.

For ethnics I highly recommend focusing on getting rid of any hyperpigmentation if there are any, whites don't have to deal with this but they get really pink which looks weird.

Also,.Indians are at the bottom in the WESTERN dating market. I don't know how dating is like in India but if you live there you shouldn't have to worry too much I think.

Good luck brother.

Indians have the lowest SMVs for a reason. The vast majority of Indians have very high body fight which obviously degrades your smv and on top of that they have the lowest amount of muscle mass for any race (even lower than asians).
As an Indian first and foremost you need to get a gym membership. (do a body recomp or bulk) because you already may be skinny fat.
Secondly, if you are looking to compete in the indian dating market i may suggest using a skin bleaching or lightening agent like kojic acid or vitamin C (colorism is very prevalent in India), Thirdly, start a simple skin care routine with sunscreen daily (many indians also have shitty skin and hyperpigmentation).Fourthly, plese at least wear deodorant and a nice fragrance to top it off. Lastly focus on yourself financially and mentally, try to gather as much wealth as possible and to be honest there are about a million different side hustles you could start, start meditating for mental health.
You will be surprised you far this gets you ahead of the competition as most Indians do not even do half of this stuff to better themselves

Gonna necro a super old thread. One thing I have noticed about indian men:

- Obesity is a huge problem unfortunately, but even if you do lose weight, your base is likely fucked.
- Face shape is usually the worst of both square and round. Most indian men have short midfaces and a very wide jaw/cheekbones, which fucks up FWHR and a bunch of other ratios
- Jaw is very flat. In other races, the mandible protrudes downward. For indian men (and women) the jaw's elevation does not change, which contributes to the short blocky look. This is also a reason why most indian women are ugly: their blocky face is very far removed from western femininity

Zygoma reduction surgery does seem like a valid option if you wanna balance your FWHR. If you're not into hardmaxxing, then you can also adjust your hairstyle to hide your bulging cheekbones.

ideally by frauding your pheno if you're not too dark


(This may seem self hating, but it is the truth)



A lot of indians i've seen will whiten their skin to go from the indo melananid pheno to ths indid pheno

How dark is too dark?

obviously chad is chad regardless of skin tone



but for the average normie, being any darker than a medium brown signifcantlly subtracts from your smv


Just as a reference point, the average indid will be better off than indo melananids, who are darker skinned



The reason skin color especially matters for indians is because they typically have caucasian features. So having dark skin paired with them usually looks uncanny (which is why the indid looks better than the indo melanid)

Not tryna be racist, but its better to acknowledge that skin color plays a role in dating rather than living in delusion about it

For the average indian, you're gonna want tan to brown skin with golden undertones (ideal for the phenotype)

My skin is fucked in the sense that my family has light brown skin tones, and I do too, but it is only in places not exposed to to light (e.g. torso). My face is noticeably tanner than the rest of my body, which is somewhat surprising given that I spent most of my time indoors.

I wanna make my skin lighter, already started basic skin care and incorporated SPF 30 into the mix recently. Anything else I should be doing?

Ensure the one you are using is "Broad SPF", so they can protect from both kinds of UV rays. (UVA, and UVB.)


If you have any hyperpigmenation or uneven dark spots on the skin (which is quite common for indians) try applying vitamin c serum for a few months, it can help reducs the noticability of those spots.

As your skin is protected from the sun over time, you will naturally become lighter, since your face isn't being exposed to UVA and UVB, which increase melanin production due to UV damage.


There is a chance that the darker areas on the face could be genetic, but you would need to do these things consistently for a few months to know.
