Like I said...’depressing’. We allowed the freaks to define deviancy down.

" By today’s standards, strapping two pieces of material onto any body fits the bill, but a decade ago, the term was still reserved for only those with six-pack abs and not an inch of perceived bodily "imperfection" in sight."

Standards change along with society's economic and political positions.

Before the Industrial age, fat women(by the "bikini" standard) were very desirable.

But when food became cheap and even the lower class became obese, being "pleasingly plum" became out of fashion with the upper classes and set the standard to be thin.(selective exotic foods from distant lands became desirable)

The same thing with white people having tans. Before Industrial Revolution, having a pale, white skin was "en vogue" among the upper classes, Then, as women were interring the work force in sunless, bleak commercial and assembly line jobs, being pale meant working class poor.

Only the upper class had the wealth and time to lay about in the sun getting the "prefect tan'.

Does Phoebe Cates know how much damage she has done to our delicate male psyches?

Same people ridicule “dad bod” and beer guts.

It’s all about the “abs”.

And women are aiming for men under themselves these days (with teachers preying on students and dating profiles cutting 10+ years off their ages).

fluffy, bbw, thick,...

And some get booty injections because they don’t fit “the norm” of fat ass.

Penelope walked through the suitors. Their knees smote together, every man wanted to lay with her—The ODDESSY

Just my kind of woman till her husband came home and cleaned house.

I believe the female form is perfection, why ruin it with tattoos? And also looks silicon enhanced. Back to post #64.
