As the supply of svelte women diminishes, men either adapt or don't reproduce unless they have the resources to appeal to one of the dwindling numbers of the really hot chicks. If tastes were truly changing based for some deep rooted (inexplicable) reason, then they'd be telling actresses to look like the 150# (+) Hathaway, or better yet, Queen Latifah.


You do realize that until about 1900, the worldwide standard for a beautiful female figure, even in Western society, was far closer to the "Queen Latifah" mold? By the way Stewball, most men have ALWAYS preferred a woman with large breasts and a sizable ass as opposed to that picture of Kunis, who has no butt or tits viewable to the naked eye.

And the 150 pound version of Hathaway is still thin, but at least she looks normal and healthy in that picture, unlike the emaciated 125 pound model.

Always? Then why has Hollywood always insisted on low-fat actresses? Because men prefer 10 year old boys??? If Hathaway poured that 150+ lbs into a Catwoman leotard, she'd be laughed out of theaters. Fat-Catwoman jokes would swamp the movie.

Instead:

And if it's airbrushed, which it doesn't look like, ya gotta ask....why?

Did you not read my post? I said that normal female body types closer to that of a Queen Latifah were considered the standard for beauty until 1900. Now tell me, when did Hollywood start producing films? That's what I thought.

You are completely insane if you really believe that crap.

Yeah, that is in fact ridiculously airbrushed. It looks completely artificial and that's before the crazy lighting effects. By the way, I think this video might be educational for you;

Glad to see you picked up on what I was saying. If you're gonna go consensus, which has more weight, 1750 or the last hundred years?

Superb comeback, for somebody somewhere.

The point is (again, since you're going all consensus again), what's portrayed as ideal and why? (I tried to spell it out, but....).

You're missing the point. There are unquestionably millions of men, such as yourself, who are into starved, frail-looking women who have the "shapely" form of a wooden plank. No arguments there.

However, such a body type is both unhealthy and, as the video I posted above demonstrates, unnatural, too. Also, there are unquestionably millions of other men, such as myself, who are into women that look like Christina Hendricks.

That is, tall women with genuine curves, large breasts and ass who in no way resemble a 10 year-old boy in body type.
