well ya, just by chance. The media was different though. First of all we weren't as close together as we are now. Today we compare ourselves to prettiest of prettiest models from all around the world, which is why so many girls have a negative body image
Those days you'd compare beauty based on what you see everyday. Possibly one ad you see somewhere, but overall their idea of beauty was pretty normal. There was little make up, no plastic surgery, no photo shopping, in most cases no airbrushing either. Those girls were very natural. I think out generation has lost track of women naturally look like, so that you pretty much can't be considered gorgous without any of these today

Miss america pageant in 1933 clearly preferred very round faces, which is usually a sign of health, so a good thing. Maybe you can't compare those girls to a VS poster but I think they are beautiful. They also reflect reality, they have different bodies, are differently thick and have different height. Compared to today where pretty much everyone looks interchangeable, similar heavy make up, ultra thin and toned body with big fake or pushed boobs, bleached teeth...

yes i think there were hot girls in the first half of the 20th century. Fashion and hairstyles change over the decades but if you really look at the bone structure and faces of people in the 1900-1950 time period... its the same.

Um, entirely different standards? Beauty had a different definition back then, fashion was different. Many men from that time would cringe if they saw today's women.
Honestly i don't think much has changed the only real difference is that there is more availability for cosmetics and more products for grooming purposes. Its funny how thing are though back then with less the women had more self respect and where less insecure. Now in days women have more, but have less self respect and are more insecure. Statistically speaking although physically there is a higher level of attractive women there is also a lower level of psychological self worth in the female community.
yes there were. there were movie stars, models, etc during that era who were very attractive and obviously that would mean that the population at large had attractive people in it
if people were unattractive in the early part of the 1900s people now would more than likely also be unattractive today

Of course. I think you could go back to to ancient Greece and find hot girls. That is how the generations continue.
The fashions were different. But if they took off all their clothes, they'd look good. The idealized image of woman back then was probably a bit meatier, but, no doubt, the woman were much slimmer on average because they got more exercise.
Only real drawbacks were the average clothes, I think, and the not shaving part.There were, the way they dress was plainer though, so you see beauty in its more natural state. Ava Gardner in the 40s is a good example. Or Grace Kelly...
I know it's a bit later but Linda Harrison in the original Planet of the Apes was crazy hot
www.luispita.com/.../LindaHarrison-747282.jpgWhat would you call "plain"? Compared to nowadays' girls there was a large number more of what you would call a "dream girl"...
They'd be more loyal, not sleeping around everywhere but still, from the stories of the time, you read what they did in bedroom. Nowadays' girls sleep with anybody at any occasion but once they're committed to somebody, sex life dies a gruesome death.
They had actual curves, not like nowadays' necrohpilia-figures ("f*cking a skeleton").Of course everyone was ugly and plain. Black and white photos truly depict the time period. Not only did everyone see black and white but colors did not exist then. But happily somewhere in the 50's color and color television was developed. Around this same time attractive people began being born. We are still in the prime of beautiful people and sadly they will die of extinction in the year 3035 (so scientists claim).
It depends... do you mean natural beauty, or fake beauty?
Naturally beautiful, the girls back then were.
Nowadays, girls do everything they can to ruin their natural beauty and become as fake as possible. Not all girls, but a lot.I know there was, the gens young girls have today descent from them, therefore they were there.
Besides just look at old movies and see the pretty girls.Girls now aren't any better looking, generally. We just have makeup, hair extensions, and cosmetic surgery now.
There were certainly some pretty hot movie stars, and the average woman in those days wasn't overweight from consuming all the toxic chemical obesogens that modern women do.
The average woman now is only a few pounds short of being obese.Yes there are! Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Greta Garbo.. etc.
Girls who wore dresses, don't shave half of their head for fashion, and didn't have access to 13 pounds of makeup for day to day use?
I know I was born in the wrong generation, but damn.Different eras value different appearances. In 15th century Europe, for example, a skinny tanned woman would be considered ugly next to a larger paler woman. Time changes everything, so it's not unusual that we wouldn't be attracted to people of different times with different physical focus is and values.
There were more hot women back then than there are today. They were just as naturally beautiful but they didn't paint their faces with tons of makeup and of course Photoshop didn't exist. But they knew how to be women back then, which is huge.
but many girls before are not as slutty as today... and that is attractive trait... most of the girls try to be slutty to get noticed from guys
Sure. Appearance standards were different. But Lauren Bacall was hot at any time.
1922-1958 is my peak of beauty in the 20th century. Those girls were HOT!
He'll yeah! I'm sure there were a lot of pretty looking and beautiful girls during that time. More natural looking than what they look like now.
It all depends on the times in how guys feel attracted to certain body types etc. Not many women from that era are "hotties" when I see picutres of them, it was just a different time. Mary Tyler Moore was a total hottie though when she was young
They looked the exact same then as they do now. Only difference would be hair, makeup, and clothing.
loool nice question... maybe guys were into those type of girls before
What people considered beautiful back in those times is way different than what we consider beautiful today in 2014
