This is difficult to ascertain it's level of credibility. I mean, my parents are also unattractive, and yes they are clueless about such things but I don't think my mother held my looks against me jfl. In fact she was always telling me I'm handsome like some sort drug induced robot who leads their child into complete delusion and even maybe suicide once they hit rock bottom. They denied that I was being mocked in school or rejected by even below average looking girls. This can sometimes be the case with white, black, and Latino parents, but many times, depending on the level of education, doesn't have to be.
Same with Indian fathers in the West. And the fact they themselves are low smv males it very frustrating because you can see that you are hurting their feelings by explaining the truth, but alas, it IS the truth and sometimes you have to explain it. This might be true for Western whites but it's not true for Indian parents who immigrated to America or Europe. They just don't know what is ugly or what is attractive. They generally don't care either. The further back in time you go the more unaware the generations are. This was actually a good thing, in some ways. In other ways, it's a terrible thing. When your parents don't validate your experiences it creates a rift between parent and offspring that can may never heal.
One thing you (or anyone wondering) must realize about curry parents who immigrated and then gave birth to children in the U.S. or U.K./Europe, is that most of them, if they spent years 0-25 in India have ABSOLUTELY no idea what Western culture entails. Some did a better job than others by their children, but for the most part, curry parents are unable to grasp the reality of Western social culture. They manage to stay in their Indian circles even after coming to the U.S. BUT for their offspring, we can't do that make a living or "fit in" so of course we learn a more palpable meaning of pain and suffering.
