Why does historical fiction — or mock-historical fiction — consider “fair” to be an attribute of feminine beauty and “dark” to contribute to male beauty? Have we inherited multiple cultures’ standards? But note that Gaelic folklore, in customs such as First-footing, maintains the disparity (at least insofar as hair color) in one society’s traditions.

Baldur ain’t havin’ this!
And, um… Neither is Zack Morris (little somethin’ for Dave, there).
Um … did you just jump from the Norse myth of Ragnarök to the American myth of Saved By the Bell for examples of fair-haired heroes? If so: WTF?
If not: WTF?
“Saved By the Bell‘s theme music is better than it sounds?”
You were looking for “fair” examples of male beauty drawn from culture. Those were the first two that came to mind. Also, because I’m working on a Loki/Screech slashfic.

Ouch. I know it’s not slash, but I have on good authority that Thor would have fucking loved Showgirls. (Shall we go all ouroboros on this site and go back to Twin Peaks?)
Showgirls actually becomes one of the most entertaining movies ever, if watched with a room full of catty drag queens.

Would “James Earl Jones” have been funnier?
