How come people are so ugly today compared to 60-100 years ago?

What is it that is causing these physical attributes? It seems people also had better skeletal proportions back then - broader shoulders, natural figures. Why?

I've noticed a particular phenomenon in a lot of younger women as well. They have these very squished eyes and there is a lot of extra mass around their eyes and jaw. Their foreheads are also exceptionally wide. They have a moon face. Is this a result of too much estrogen?

Some people just store fat on their faces. It's a result of them being FAT.

Look at that girl in your pic, she definitely has a few pounds on her. Her arm is a telltale sign, she's probably hiding a big belly under that shirt of hers.
>>
>>2182048

Surely you must be trolling..she has the face of a 200lb woman. So do half the girls in the second pic I posted.

Shitty orthodontic practices, modern pollutants, no compulsory athletics for males, etc.

What's bad for the maxilla is generally bad for society.

You're exaggerating, it's not that bad. Some people just have a more puffier face than others, you're cherry picking. And they are ALL fat to some extent.

People are fatter now. Skinnier=better face.

i noticed the opposite actually

whenever i see pictures of girls that arent top .01% attractive from before like the 90s, they just look fucking weird, they have small weird shaped tits and no ass or anything

>>2182044
Racemixing. Every woman/man in the world (or moreso those in first world countries) will have slept with an individual from the opposite sex who was born a different race/ethnicity. Change in diet. A society less focus on exercising kids at schools to instill healthy living, etc, etc. A LOT has changed, m8.

back then, only photogenic people were photographed

now, every subhuman with an undeserved sense of self esteem has an instagram
>>
>>2182055
This is the answer. Also, you only had black and white photos or photos with poor quality if you want to go back the full 100 years. So you're probably just automatically adjusting the poor image quality in your mind to a photo of a good looking person. And the black and white can make a person look better.
>>
>>2182044
Well considering 60-100 years isn't enough for any major evolutionary genetic changes and while people are fatter/eat absolute shit now there are still plenty who eat healthier than they ever could 60-100 years ago so I'm going to say since they had limited opportunities for filming and photography back then compared to now the only ones taken/worth saving were of important people who were good looking.

Implying mixed race people aren't attractive.

/pol/ pls go be retarded somewhere else
it's a combination of >>2182055 and people not giving a shit about looks in general (or just being fucking terrible about it)
Just girls putting on makeup badly can easily take down a point or two compared to no makeup, and pro makeup (like, you know, celebs and people in photos used to have) is basically cheat mode for looks (got a visagist friend, 20 minutes with her and you get a solid 2-3 points in looks male or female)
b&w photos also tend to enhance looks that's why that filter is so popular nowadays

I live in a tourist spot and I see a lot of Europeans. Holy fuck European women are almost always 8-9/10 here in America. In America women that are a 5/10 think they're a 9. Women that are actual 9's think they're celebrities and try to get Instagram famous.

soft food throughout life leads to lesser development of jaw muscles, which leads to inferior jaws, which leads to diminished pressure on the maxilla, which leads increased likelihood of mouth breathing, which leads to elongation of the face, which is ugly as fuck.

it's soft bread, tender meat and a lack of veggies. truly degenerate.

More eating, shittier food. More sitting, less moving. More inside, less outside. More acceptance, less self awareness and manners.

Also it wasn't that long ago that individuals who were extremely poor/ugly/stupid or otherwise undesirable typically didn't breed in society, PC culture didn't exist and were called out on being undesirable because there were no real social consequences for hurting feelings, and a spade was called a spade.

That and medical/pharmaceutical technology has allowed defectives to fill in the gaps in their malfunction, so they can pretend to be normal humans and are more likely to procreate and pass on their malfunction to one or more kids.

We've taken the filter out of the gene pool and there is no life guard. Anyone can hop in now.

nostalgia-halo effect, the woman in your image isn't anything special she only seems it because it's black and white and she's well-dressed. Her facial structure is pretty ordinary.

>which leads to diminished pressure on the maxilla, which leads increased likelihood of mouth breathing,
where is the link for these two? I have a recessed maxilla without any elongation of the face.
>>
>>2182044
Yeah you would totally know what the average person looked like 60-100 years ago. How fucking stupid are you? Do you think every fucker had a smart phone back then? Do you know how hard it was to produce a single photograph 100 years ago?

What's even worse are the fuckers spewing pseudoscience trying to explain your bullshit. Feels like I'm in fucking /pol/.

I noticed this too. Also it's more common in the media in the beauty icons they promoted. I have the 90s-early 2000s ideal of beauty where women must have thin faces and chiseled but delicate jaws.

100 years ago, photographs were expensive, and not commonplace. No would waste time and money taking pictures of a plain or ugly person, unless they were of some importance.

Now every moron has a camera, and takes hundreds of pictures of themselves all the time.

I doubt there were many photographs of the place you shit 100 years ago, but today...

He's right. Not just race mixing across white to Hispanic or white to Asian. But Nordic to Italian, Nordic and Celts, etc. Racemixing across European lines as well. There was a study on it I cant find now, it showed how it negatively affects facial symmetry and proportions.

Go spend some actual time on /pol/ they post a lot of evidence to back up their claims. Once you graduate from 4chan /pol/ you'll know where to go next and you'll learn even more.
>>
>>2182080

Forgot to include, prior to 1965 America only preferred immigrants from Western and Northern Europe, the country was 90% white. So when people were having children back in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s they were mostly from that region of Europe, hence why they were more attractive.

I mean girls in the southern are fugly, but so are English girls. It really depends where you go

Only wealthy or attractive people had their photos taken. Today every cunt has a phone camera taking stupid selfies.

It's because you get your ideas of what eras were like from movies. Folks back then were just as ugly as the rest of us, uglier if you go farther back. There's a funny bit of Machiavelli where he fucks a prostitute in a dark room only to discover that she's the ugliest thing in the world, and then vomits on her.

I noticed many actresses from the 30's-40's looked the same. Same hairstyle, makeup, clothing. I probably couldn't tell many apart from one another except for that ugly bug eyed Bette Davis.

>Racemixing across European lines as well.

>The emergence of population genetics further undermined the categorisation of Europeans into clearly defined racial groups. A 2007 study on the genetic history of Europe found that the most important genetic differentiation in Europe occurs on a line from the north to the south-east (northern Europe to the Balkans), with another east-west axis of differentiation across Europe, separating the "indigenous" Basques and Sami from other European populations. Despite these stratifications it noted the unusually high degree of European homogeneity: "there is low apparent diversity in Europe with the entire continent-wide samples only marginally more dispersed than single population samples elsewhere in the world."[101][102][103][104]

Also:

You're several millennia too late for that in western Europe. Although there is evidence fringe groups like Sardinians, Finns, Sami, Basques are somewhat separate from the major Euro-gene pool
