Are Women less attractive and fatter in 2018 compared to women in the 1950's?

Statistically, I’m not sure what the answer to this is, but from what I know about that period and today, women are not “fatter” in 2018. If you look at the women who are idolized today, they are like size 0-4 and the ideal woman back then was Marilyn Monroe who was probably a size 12.

The women in those photos are models and per any culture or time period, do not represent the vast majority of women. Compared to models now like Kendal Jenner or Bella Hadid, they are not extremely thin.

Also, eating disorders have been around almost forever and date back to even the first century, but we now see them much more in today’s society. They’re more mainstream due to technological advances and reflect a heavier emphasis on looks and appearance in the modern age.

So no, I don’t think that women are fatter in 2018.

Attractiveness is in they eye of the beholder. There are numerous reasons men and women in many western countries are more obese than the 1950s -
more processed foods eaten
whole foods less available
time to cook and cooking skills dwindling
food additives that contribute more to the problem than just simple calories
time to exercise is limited
fewer people get inadequate number of calories, pushes averages up
fewer people likely to be using appetite suppressant medications in modern times

Both men and women. Have you realised how much hormones they pump into our foods these days? Also people overeat and have wayyy too much snacks and sugar and heavily processed foods. Its no wonder being a bit larger nowadays is common.

All the pictures I've seen in photo albums from the 50s are all fairly slim, but no more than chubby, whatever the age, both men and women.

If you talk about the era of corsets then sure, women are not as thin around the waist but that was basically a bodily defect in the first place so can't be said to be healthy to compress your waist for long periods of time. Aside from that I think modern women are more beautiful.

[jacquesvol]

The more you see a certain body type on the telly and in the ads, the more people will think that's the ideal type.

[Asker]

What if it's the average type?

[jacquesvol]

the average type can only be seen in Summer, near the pool and many average don't dare to go there.

[Asker]

I too like to watch chicks by the pool.

[jacquesvol]

In Winter, , parka wearing silhouettes don't say much.

There are more extremes than there used to be. Thin women, models, actresses, and fashion forward women are much thinner than they were in the old days.

[madhatters4]

i don't think they are less attractive. i think they are more attractive

but we as a society (Men and Women) are "fatter". so yes women over 2018 on the whole are fatter (to say there is a greater percentage of overweight women)

[_Enigma_]

Todays ridiculous society tells you to love your obese, unhealthy body that may well end up causing some serious health issues and being cause of your death, rather than encouraging you to stay fit and healthy, because PC culture says fat shaming is a horrible thing and blah blah. So yes.

[acooke-13]

Not just women, but men too. There's more fast food and better technology so more people are lazy!

[Onlythisone]

That 1950's image is not a 28" waist lol, 28 inches is pretty big unless they are really tall... I mean I'm 5'6 chubby and have a 26" waist and both of those seem the same weight just different body shapes. Here's some women from the 1950's for you that aren't bikini models lol

[splashofyellow]

I don't know about attractiveness but people are certainly heavier on average because there's so much unhealthy food so easily available.

[Asker]

Plus the fat acceptance bullshit

[splashofyellow]

Well, I don't agree that it's all bullshit but it's definitely more acceptable to be heavier in today's society.

[babygloss]

Yes people are much heavier I think the example of women in the 3rd pic isn’t a good example in my opinion since most of those women just look healthy and normal :) I’m all about body positivity and loving ur body and not comparing yourself to others cause we all carry weight differently. As long as they maintain a healthy diet and workout Than you should be good.

[babygloss]

I bet half the men down in the comment section and the guy who thumbs down my comment is ugly with a small dick and fat who has no room to talk yet alone give an opinion on a woman’s body

[Buckzor]

Yes. The general population is god knows how many times more obese than the 1950's. All to blame with fast food and people thinking it's okay to accept overweight/obesity if it's what they want, and not to judge people.

[maiave]

No, the other way around actually. Someone who’s average today would be beautiful if they were born in another couple decades. it’s just photographs that aren’t private were usually taken of models or such.

About the weight it’s the same thing, except people stopped putting really unrealistic standards for women, or at least not as unrealistic

[douride2]

Myself my waist is only 1" bigger then your 1950s image. Some most likely are others are not..

[Asker]

That's the spirit your nearly there

[heyheyitsa]

People are definitely larger due to the foods available to us. And personally I hate praising individuals who are overweight

[Anonymous]

Yes, today people are fatter than back then (men and women alike), but you would better compare average people to average people than models to average women. Because the pics you chose for the 50's women are models, not a fair representation of average.

[Jan_Classic]

Yeah these days the McDuck has done it's dirty deeds.

[KYRAREMEMBERSTORONTO]

people are in better shape today. people were chubby in 50s. women didn't work out much. wasn't feminine.

the picture is of models, not average women. they are slim, compared today they are emaciated.

[rm_llort]

That's a lie.

[KYRAREMEMBERSTORONTO]

@rm_llort

models today are way thinner than models back then. and women were not toned back then. whats a lie.

[rm_llort]

The question wasn't about models, you dingus. The general population was very due to rationing in the decade prior.

There are studies that show that woman have gotten larger and more unhappier in the years since the war.

[KYRAREMEMBERSTORONTO]

@rm_llort

the pictures were of models,

anyhow im in better shape than women were back then.

[KYRAREMEMBERSTORONTO]

women were not slim and toned in the 1950s. plump was in.

[rm_llort]

There are always people who are on the outer spectrum. You're obviously in great shape then.

[KYRAREMEMBERSTORONTO]

years after the war is plenty of time to plump up. especially as everyone was encouraged to have very high fart diets. and women had sedentary jobs. and exercise was not a cultural focus.

[rm_llort]

Don't argue with the studies and facts it's not smart to do. There's a reason why heart disease and diabetes is on the rise.

I also hope people weren't encouraged to eat farts. lol

[kenzielarson]

I should not be laughing as hard as I am about the whole "high fart diet" thing hahaha.

[Anonymous]

overall? no. but some yeah. we're more extreme on both sides of the spectrum. Some guys/girls/ are more fit now than anyone ever in the 50s. and some guys/girls now are waaaaaaaaaaaay more out of shape.

[spiderweirdo]

After Christmas I currently look like a bowling ball atm

[KurdishPower]

Both sexes don't have the feeling they should improve themselves. So they all got uglier

[gobsmacked3]

both sexes because of so much rubbish food readily available

[Anonymous]

Yeah, that wouldn't be a wholly innacurate assessment.

[Political_dude]

Thanks to Body Positivity and Feminism!

[maiave]

You really don’t have to blame everything that’s related to women that you find bad as “feminist”.

[Political_dude]

@maiave I don't blame "Everything" but body positivity moment was started by Feminists only

Plastic surgery is disgusting. They were more real back then. Lip injections, ewww, butt implants, ewwww, breast implants, ewwww.

[Kgbmafia]

[spiderweirdo]

Its becoming the norm to get lipo/fillers. Never thought id see the day that people willingly advertise that they've been under the knife. What does that teach the next generation?

[Kgbmafia]

@spiderweirdo that we care too much about looks xD its all about that big butt adn big boobs and god knows if you dont have those xD shunned by society haha

[spiderweirdo]

In ten years we are all gonna learn how dangerous that stuff is. Your putting a foreign body of poisonous material in your flesh. Take away the media buzz and the truth is quiet Scarey

[Anonymous]

Yes, i believe people are heavier now because of how convenient life has become for us.
