Like I said no offense! I'm glad girls/women join this forum too. I'm sure they do discuss more serious things than the topic of this particular thread.

No offence but.. Lol
Only kidding!

Eric in his prime. Handsome, sex appeal... Everything. If I was any good at posting on my iPhone id put a photo of him topless in the 90's....

Always found Gary Neville very attractive, but I think that was his accent & the United blood running through him.

Current team is very easy on the eye...
Shaw, Darmian, Morgan, Blind, Martial and of course Zlatan....
 
I reckon Ronaldo of 07/08 was a very good looking chap. He looked more natural then as opposed to now - has he even had work done or does his face just look too well groomed now?

I'm straight btw
 
Looks are subjective and all, but Pogba is fug, can we stop the handsome myth?

He oozes confidence and carries himself well, which in some cases is better than a handsome guy who's a slob, but looks wise, I wouldn't call him handsome.

Speak for yourself
Strong jawline, rugged facial features and has a great smile with big brown eyes, and nice lips.
But I have a big crush on him and I'm not even ashamed.

3 pages of white guy pics, haha.

The (not so) subtle racism of the beauty paradigm.

Let's be honest, the first post I quoted seems to be the general view i've seen about the majority of black players when it comes to their looks on this forum and many others i've come across
 
That's some idiotic logic. People will post who they find attractive. Apart from the fact that there have been black players posted, saying its racism just feels like you're crying about it.

Though my Mido selection was a bit unorthodox, anyone that says Pogba is handsome has to be joking?
:wenger: Fecking hell, you post some utter tripe.

Not to derail the thread, but as a straight bloke, I find plenty of black women very very attractive. Not many of the black guys in here are what I'd call particularly good looking guys. I'd say the same about a fair few of the white guys posted in here, too. It's got feck all to do with racism, it's just personal preference/opinion.

In an effort to stay on topic, I'd say Andre Gomes and Marc Bartra are well worth a shout.

Not sure why you quoted my post, as it has feck all to do with race. Was simply pointing out the absurdity of the two bolded statements. On one hand, shamans admonishes another poster that this is a totally subjective thread. Then a page later, he goes on to question the sincerity of those who bring up Pogba.

Ah sorry, thought you were arguing with his mention of Pogba. Now I see your point :lol:

To be honest I think people's tastes are somewhat distorted when it comes to representation in media. We don't see as many black or other ethnic men and women as we do say white people. Asian men are usually stuck with the 'nerdy' tag and seen as unsexy, black men are usually seen as thuggish, black women usually seen as aggressive or less feminine etc.
All these things shape our tastes, and if you're not used to seeing people of a particular race then you're usually more critical of their looks.
This is part of the reason why representation in the media is important and why people of colour are more vocal about being included in movies/tv shows etc if all were used to seeing are white faces being the object of affection, then of course we'll grow up thinking Eurocentric features are the most desired.
 
Looks like we know bamsola's type (tall, dark and handsome)

Not even sure what you're trying to imply, but you'll only look foolish, considering I'm mixed race (half black) and currently in a long term relationship with a black guy

But yeah because I said Pogba is ugly, it must be because of some eurocentric beauty standard I've been brainwashed to adhere to. Very stupid.

Not to forget the reinforcing effect this has. The stereotype becomes real to many, which alienates them further from the mainstream idea of beauty.
