They certainly have changed, aided and abetted by the fashion industry IMO.

Some of these models look just awful and worrying. 

In Eastern countries, buxom women are considered very attractive. Personally, I like my belly dancers with a little less belly!

Looks are only skin deep, it's a pity people can't look beyond the cover of others... we all come into the world the same way and will all exit it accordingly... Just my opinion..

Walking through Harrods some years ago. I was somewhat perturbed by the arabs staring at me and nodding their heads...It rather unnerved me, my brother explained.. "They worship blonde, blue eyed beautiful women'.. I felt quite chuffed until he continued " especially those that aren't skinny, as they appreciate their women like they do their gold .the more the weight , the more the value...:(

I haven't forgiven him yet...lol

I always knew I was born in the wrong era!

Im just a mear male so I just take it all in!!!!

The woman in the pic is not fat. Same old image stuff then as now. The message is that women have to "be perfect" for men. Not good enough to be alive in the world in a body that functions in so many miraculous ways. 

WOmen should not be fat

neither should men
