Male beauty contest in Cambodia was ridiculed because of the participants' appearance (6 photos)

In Cambodia, a beauty contest Miss and Mister Majestic was held, which very suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Because the handsome participants looked like very average and even a little tired men.





This is not a simple contest, its winner must represent the country at the international beauty contest Mister Universe.



So everyone wanted to see who was the most handsome man in the country?

So last month, the organizers released portfolio photos of the 17 male contestants selected to take part in the Mr. Majestic competition. And they were not at all what everyone imagined.



Notice the big earlobes, in Cambodia this is considered a great sign of success

Not just ordinary, but in some cases even with non-standard "ugliness".

Which guaranteed these photos an incredible buzz on social networks.



In the photos, the participants pose topless, and their bodies are covered in oil and gold glitter. Which sounds pretty cool.



But what was supposed to be a sexy photo shoot caused all sorts of funny comments about the participants' appearance. It's funny that in previous years the participants were completely "from another league".

And who won?



Guess in three tries which of them won

That's the cherry on top! The most handsome man of Cambodia was Lai Thai, who has a rather pronounced squint. He received the most votes, appeared in the advertising photos of the sponsor Nu and will represent Cambodia at the international competition "Mr. Universe".

The organizers of the competition explained that the event not only honors physical beauty, but also focuses on the talent and self-confidence of the participants.



He was a bit cute, but still more conceptually symmetrical

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

I got the feeling that there were simply few people who really wanted to participate. Perhaps Cambodian men don't think that showing off in glitter and oil is a very manly thing to do, so the choice was bad.

Because even if inner beauty is important, you can find a person who is beautiful inside and out. After all, they will have to compete on the world stage, and it is not entirely clear what they wanted to say with this choice?



Congratulations to the winner of MR. MAJESTIC!
