Clash of opinions on the micro-blogging site Twitter often sparks an online debate. Recently, a Twitter handle by the name of Hot Masculinity Takes recently stirred a debate with tweets. In a tweet, the handle gave an insight into a blog written by an author back in 2016. A snippet of the blog title "5 reasons why one shouldn’t date Indian women" grabbed the attention of the internet users. Although the tweet did not specify or state the other four reasons, the first reason alone has bagged a lot of criticism on the internet.

One of the lines from the snippet read, "the average Indian girl has a Coke can physique and bad genes". The opinion of Matt Forney, the author, did not go down well with Twitterati as most of the comments in the comments box backfired at him with sarcasm. A user shared a picture of a woman's feet and wrote, "Feet of this Indian woman is more beautiful than the writer of this article."

Meanwhile, another Twitter user asserted, "He wants to talk about their weight when he's literally built like a hot air balloon." To clap back at Matt's remark on Desi women, a user wrote, "This guy thinks he's a pick up artist as well. I'm pretty sure most women would run a mile if he came sauntering up to them with ill deserved confidence." A section of fans pointed out that Forney made a typo while mentioning the name of actor Aishwarya Rai. Scroll down to check out a few reactions.
