No I don't think so. People are becoming a bit more pudgy on average but your weight is only one element of attractiveness. I think people generally have better skin today and look younger on average than they did in earlier decades with people smoking and drinking less, wearing sunscreen more, etc

Life ain't easy when your fat and greasy.

Pudgy, more accurately referred to as fat, should not be accepted as attractive. Great skin doesn’t address the fact that someone is overweight, eats too much and does too little. Moisturising and using suncream isn’t going to combat diabetes and heart disease or the whole host of other illnesses and diseases that are more frequently resulting from people who think being fat is fine. Fat is fat. Call it what it is for a start.

Too many unattractive people were mating in the 80s and 90s. There was also a lot of emigration, particularly women. So there was an abundance of men to women, who would ride anything that walked.

The opposite of the scenario is Eastern Europe after WW2. There were tons of women compared to men, and the men had the pick of the lovely ladies. That's why Eastern European women are very attractive.

It will be interesting to see what will be in 20-30 years with the popularity of online dating. 20% of males get 80% of the females. So there may be an abundance of strong attractive males on the market but the ladies will be a mixed bunch.

What's a more unattractive trait, though? someone that's "pudgy", yet out and about and at the beach, or someone who spends their Friday nights on the internet at 1am complaining about other people being "pudgy".

I wouldn’t entirely agree with what you’re saying for the fact that there seems to be a heavy emphasis on people high protein diets now (equivalent of one boiler chicken specie a day) and exercise, which in itself is only a good thing!

However, I’ve notice make up for young girls has gone over the top. Some girls opt to get their lips injected with botox at a very young age and it really doesn’t look healthy. This is coupled with fake teeth and sun beds. I understand that it’s only a certain cohort of people that engage in this “fashion” but it appears to be rampant throughout towns in Ireland today. It reminds me of a reality tv show in the uk Love Island.

We also have other nationalities over here who would find 'supposed uglier women' attractive and would marry them have kids etc

Online dating is so sterile imo. To me, it is a last resort. The way I look at it, easy come easy go.

No OP. It's just if you can remember the 90s then you have reached the stage where the good looker's don't tell you where they hangout these days. Welcome to middle age.

Wo wo wo !!! Good looking people dont go to the beach unless its empty and they can can get some nice selfies for their social media accounts. Cant risk sand , wind and sun damage affecting their image.

It's true, people are on average a stone or two heavier than they were back in the 70s, 80s or 90s.

Maybe fast food plays a part in it? There are still lovely good looking people around though

Male baldness well up as opposed to decades ago.

Beer goggles..... The goggles do nothing

Fat people tend to look younger as they have plenty of collogen in their faces. You can see that many of them turn rotten looking when they lose the few pounds. Often it's better to keep the weight if you're a bit older and bring additional emphasis to your face, or your lips and breasts if you are a woman. Signal that you're down for the dirty and keep those chubby cheeks girls.

Are you really deciding for everyone else what level of body fat they can find attractive?

Mister Vain

No I think people are much more into health and fitness now. Irish women in particular look far better now than they did in the 90's/early 00's.

Some are for sure. I think there's more extremes out there now.

There's more people into the fitness now, but on the other hand it's shocking the amount of truly obese people around these days.

It seems like most of my female co- workers are quite obese and always trying new trendy diets. I have the feeling that obesity has something to do with this! I have two kids and I’m thinner than I’ve ever been in size 6 just because I eat as healthy as possible and I exercise a little. I keep telling them that losing weight is all about creating good habits you can stick to but it seems like everyone is looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight so they try detox pills and shakes and keto diets etc, lose 10 pounds in 3 days and then gain 20 over and over again. It’s the media, I’m telling ya! Too many ads for “easy fixes” and sugary treats

I have to admit I was rather shocked when I came home this year. I'd been outside the country for the last two years, and while, Irish people were often 'slightly' overweight, they weren't exactly fat. (I could always appreciate the "big boned" comment for many Irish people) However, now, it seems like every third person is heavily overweight, a lot of them being women in their 30s/40s.

I dunno. I see many people out running, who are obviously overweight. Fair play to them trying to do something about it. On the other hand though, there seems to be a lot of people who have either given up, or don't care. I've seen the ads or references to "big is beautiful" and heard in conversations about fat shaming being a terrible thing to do... but seriously? Do Irish people really want to look like obese Americans? Just seems bizarre to me (I'm very skinny naturally, and have never been able to gain any substantial weight (even in my 40s), so this is all very alien to me personally)

As you get older obviously people around the same age are going to start losing their attractiveness.

I still see a few fit grannies that I would certainly do.

sure i'm gone downhill every day

Their marriages are often going sour at that stage too so you can move in for the kill.

Other people become less attractive as you older and are less influenced by someone simply by blonde hair and/or massive tits. Plus alot more people are obese now.

Once there happy to get bruises on their knees I'm happy.

Increasing stress levels has a lot to do with increasing levels of obesity

Ahh yes, because Irish people turned obese during the Troubles... or the periods of unemployment before we got hit by the various recessions?

I find people are very quick to find excuses for those who become very heavy. Being obese should be the same as becoming a heavy smoker, or an alcoholic (as a smoker, that seems to be the attitude of many towards that habit. No sympathy or patience allowed)

There's far more availability of highly addictive foods nowadays, in which have a calming effect on the human brain, unfortunately this has a major negative effect on our health

Ok.. that's one I can accept... TBF Governments have made a big deal about educating and providing a safer life for people, but then, do nothing about these foods (especially the cheap stuff). Oh sure, they'll do a sugar tax but not actually ban the products that cause the damage.

Two of the most beautiful women I ever met in my life were balloons. Extraordinarily obese but stunning faces. If I could go back in time I would take the plunge. I was too shy but they were very flirtatious.
