Were women in the olden days uglier than today?
Whenever you look at the old photos and drawings of women considered great beauties they seem homely compared to today.
Was it a difference in standards? Would 10/10s today not get a second look back then?
Or was everyone unhealthy, full of toxins/fetal alcohol syndrome?
>Was it a difference in standards?
Yes, this is something very well known to us.
I'd like to have a discussion of course but it's already well established that standards change with time.
Because the use of make-up wasn't as advanced or widespread.

Little makeup is probably a big deal.
I have no idea about the history of makeup but I do know that most of the beautiful women I've known in this age weren't nearly as beautiful as they were letting on.
Beauty after 25 is a painting and fitness competition.

At least they shaved.

Less racemixing.

Agreed. Mixing races together averages features, creates healthier individuals in the inside and out. I've heard about a study where guys pick the most attractive in a list of 30 or something; the composite of the pics won out.
Also, with beauty it was more forced by the ones who could afford it. You only had the wealthy classes to pool from.

Race mixing does not create healthier individuals, quite the opposite. It leads to outbreeding depression which is just as bad as inbreeding depression.
>>365282
The "average person" is basically perfect looking. We should all wish to look as average as pic related.

They just look bland and featureless.
Remarkable ugliness comes from outlying features, so when you average a lot of ugly faces those features get averaged out and disappear from the composite, which no longer has anything that would make it especially ugly. But that's not how sexual reproduction works.

>But that's not how sexual reproduction works.
It's a pretty important feature actually.

Those articles just say what I just explained. "Averageness" is attained by image morphing, not breeding. Race-mixing absolutely does not create more "average" or featureless faces.
Seriously walk around the streets of heavily race mixed countries like Brazil or India sometime, and tell me if you seriously think those people look attractive.

Better quality of life = more attractive
It just does. Twin studies show that the poorer kid is uglier.

Good to see Margarey did well in the end

You're very right in some of what you're saying. Mixing pictures eliminates defaults since are very diverse and belong rarely to more than one person in the mix; and also it makes the result quite symmetrical which is an important part of what we percieve as beauty. And mixing two humans by reproduction doesn't achieve that.
But they do not look bland and featureless.

Health is important to develop beauty, and we are more healthy, generally.
We're also more numerous.
The most beautiful women among the hundreds of nobles that frequent the royal court can't be compared to the most beautiful women among the millions that consider a career in modeling.

In the eyes of a mindless money driven high libido faggot sure, because makeup is certainly in some way attractive and shows genetic brilliance.
Because race mixing is a sin against god.
If god wanted race mixing, he would have already created hybrids in the bible. He didn't.
Read Umberto Eco's History of Beauty, and his History of Ugliness

Maybe. I think the main thing is that they end up perfectly symmetrical.

Who is this semen demon?
>>365825
Any act is a sin. If God wanted it done, he would have done it himself.

no idea, mang... but generally speaking, boobs during the 50's~70's were so much different from the ones of the present day.
for some reason, good looking tits looked like rockets back in the day, but i would still feast myself with all those damned vintage titties.

Why is that? Is it a bra thing?
>>365306
who would have guessed that greece and ethiopia are the places where all the cuties are...
>>365951
different shaped bras
>>365306
I'd say Ms. Average Uzbekistan is the most striking.
>>365975
Wrong. You already posted best girl.
>>364936
AHHHHH KILL IT WITH FIRE!
>>364222
They didn't.

What
>>365306
Samoan women confirmed ugly
How the fuck are you people so stupid? The answer is obvious. Nobody's going to keep a shitty, ugly portrait.

The 50s and 60s tried to turn damn everything into rockets.
