She’s certainly not unattractive, but today you can go to any bar in America on Saturday and see ten equal to or better than her. Beauty standards have gone way, way up since the 50’s.

I’ve always thought that photography and motion pictures have really narrowed down what we consider ‘beautiful’ to what looks good in two dimensions. There are a lot of very attractive people who don’t have the kind of features that come across well on film.

After about six beers they all look more attractive than her. ;)

Today, take away obesity and tat’s, women are way more attractive than 60 years ago.

Braces, cosmetic surgery and women are wage earners so they don’t need to marry the unnattractive male who could provide for them like they did decades past and produce ugly kids.

I disagree. Attractiveness in a woman has as much to do with presentation, demeanor and deportment as it does fitting a certain shape.

You watch the women in movies from the 30s through 50s, even the crime drama shows of the 50s and 60s, and the women are MUCH more appealing ... how they dress, how they sound, how they move, how they treat men and other women. They are feminine, are happy for men to be men, and it shows.
