Its not that I am saying that its cool to have dandruff or smell bad... its not... but I for one just dont like ads which lead the viewer to believe that using a particular product will make them uber-cool and attractive or whatever... its just not true... wont hurt their chances... but exaggeration has its limits...
Thank you for saying this ^^
This is why ads like Axe or Fair-n-Lovely suck like hell.
And Mayflower... no chauvinistic intent here... but when you say that males judge females by looks... its just as true for females... Hrithik is good looking and that is what really matters... his other traits are a bonus no doubt... put it this way... would you rate Rajpal Yadav on the same scale as Hrithik? Mr. Yadav is a terrific comedian and (I assume) hardworking as well. But you dont see women drooling over his posters. Same for other.... less handsome/pretty movie stars....
Of course no one will.When did I say the looks department goes completely ignored?
And Rajpal Yadav is a comic actor.Most of the times he is just there to raise a few good laughs.
So duh which girl would like to think of him in that kind of a light?
Anyway coming back to the topic of Hrithik....you guys make it sound like he is nothing but a dumb pretty boy which he is soooo not.He has got everything going for him.THAT is why he has got such a huge female fan-base.
Yea his dad did launch him but the success of his debut movie solely rests on his shoulders.
Moreover if he had been a good-for-nothing loser with no major talents he too would've ended up with loserly/lame/gay roles like Riteish Deshmukh,Abhishek Bachchan or Tusshar Kapoor.You know the likes.
Take Salman Khan for example....he was like the 7th most good-looking man in the world or something(a few of my class-mates drool over him for some uncanny reason).But do I like him?-hell no.He is one arrogant self-absorbed egoistic brat with an I-can-do-whatever-I-want attitude which pisses me off to no extent.
So guys...personality is the ONE thing that matters the most.To
us atleast it does.We don't fall for a guy who just looks good.
Sure,we are attracted but not to the point where we are just gonna go offer our virginity to them on a platter or something.
Looks only help in getting you a decent first impression.
@Arr0w:Damn didn't you detect my bitter tone while I said 'a fair-skinned person is better to look at'?It's the way most GUYS or the society in general thinks.
I was NOT being racist.
(Thanks again Kyo for pointing that out).
How can you even think that?I'm hurt really.
And Arr0w I'm not sure who you picked as your prospective partner there.Halle or Penelope?
If you say Halle..then cheers!Good news for all the dark-skinned women in the world.
Omkar has already made his choice I guess.I am not gonna try to imagine a fair Berry or a dark Penelope.
@Omkar:It IS about gender differences.
Go back a few pages and check out Bagpipes' post where he said
'I haven't met a single guy who doesn't like that ad' or something along these lines(sorry can't quote so many of you)
I think THAT sentence alone proves my point and makes all this arguing kind of useless.
And no I can't just watch that ad and laugh it off.Because first of all it DOES not make me laugh.What am I supposed to do then?swallow some nitrous oxide everytime that ad comes on tv? (sorry pj)
Secondly I'm not someone who approves of casual sex.So...no thanks.If you'd let me I want to hate that stupid Axe ad forever.
@Dylan:I hope the misunderstanding is cleared now.I wasn't implying that
I loathe dark-skinned people.(Lol if that woulda been the case I would've hated my dad first)
My best friend herself is dark-complexioned.
So duh!
I was trying to sound like the representative of a society obsessed with fairness.
@Ace:I got one question for you.Do you like the ad or hate it?Just be clear about your views.
@RedWOLF:What gave you the idea that you were trolling?If anyone is to be accused of that....it should be ME.
Personally I liked few points about your argument.Especially the part where you mentioned 'sex sells'.
True...I can't agree more.I didn't +1 rep you for nothing.
To conclude I'd say...
I hate the Axe ad because....
1.)it's dumb-spraying yourself with a deo doesn't turn you into a sex God
2.)it's sexist and portrays women in a negative light-we don't pounce on guys who just smell good
3.)that dude smeared with chocolate freaks me out
That's it.No more posts in here.
I'm freakin' tired of this discussion now.
All of you like the ad....fine.
I,on the contrary,hate it...why can't you guys be fine with it too?
P.S:About the book I read-it's
When It Happens by Susane Colasanti.It's shit.I was gonna sue the author anyway for wasting my time....
Why make a big deal about the the 5 or 52-sec thing anyway?It's already a proven a fact that men are way more obsessed with sex than women.
