Older men of MGTOW: Was there a period of time when the majority of women were at least of decent proportion?

Women’s nature hasn’t changed. Social media has just made it more observable. They’ve always acted how they act.

There was no fantasy time when this wasn’t the case. Women act how women act. It’s just much easier to quantify it now.

My high school and university years were the 1980s. Entered high school in 1980 and graduated from university 1989. Most of the women in my cohort were slim and petite. Maybe a few of them went to the gym...but we used to walk everywhere and when we were kids biking and walking was how we got around. None of us were driven anywhere...if we had a bus pass we considered ourselves fortunate.

Try the Midwest. What you described are the skinny ones here. It makes GYOW super easy when all the women look like pig shit.

You should see it in Detroit. Actually you shouldn’t.

way back in history, the circus had what they called the "side show". many sideshows often included a very large, obese woman.

now, you can encounter them, many of them, nearly everywhere in daily life.

I was in HS 84-88, college in early 90s. Yes, most women were slim or average and not yet raging narcissistic sluts, at least not outwardly. Its night and day from today

Back in the early to mid-90's, I don't remember them being this large. There were at least more thin ones to choose from. Today, if she's not at least 20 lbs overweight, then she has a limitless supply of betas to choose from even into her 40's.

Even the 'fittest' states are hovering around 25% obesity. Aside from the obvious, (empty calories, high fructose corn syrup, lazy lifestyles, fat acceptance, etc) my theory is that the rGBH hormone in milk has been making us larger, and more prone to obesity, for several generations now.

It's anecdotal evidence on a small sample size, but most people I know who drank tons of milk growing up are large, in a disproportional way, and prone to being overweight, where as those who did not drink tons of milk are normal sized and well proportioned.

1960s and 1970's and prior: There have always been people (men and women, and some kids) who were "pudgy" and even "fat" -- but I would say comparatively/relatively few "obese" people -- and very few "morbidly obese" people... and the ones that were, were no where near the massive size of the ones referred to as that these days. (EDIT: I suppose there possibly were a few of the latter, but they were rare and hidden away somewhere.)

Moreover those that did exist, you basically didn't see them that often out and about... there were no Walmart "mobility scooters" and shit.

The vast majority of people were relatively "height/weight proportional."

Here's a chart of "average" weight in US.

Before my time, I'll tell ya that.

casra888 · 2018-12-03T21:49:36+00:00

NOPE!

jkarovskaya · 2018-12-03T22:01:09+00:00

There were certainly fat people in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's in USA, but I think it's pretty obvious that the advent of desktop/laptop computers, big screen TV's, and gaming consoles have changed things starting in the 80's.

Public health data supports that people eat far more meat, meal size and portion sizes have increased in the last 30 years, and people are less active

1Badshot · 2018-12-04T02:40:07+00:00

No, but back in the 70's and 80's woman kept other women's harlotry in check through social disapproval and ostracism. Now, whores are celebrities and celebrated.

On the tombstone of WOMANHOOD the cause of death will be listed as:

"You go girl! You do you! Live your best life!"

UndeadTed · 2018-12-04T03:05:54+00:00

Starting in the late 70s and early 80s weights suddenly started to go up across the board. Look at pretty much any photos of people before that and you'll see that being overweight, let alone obese, was a rarity. And this was a time where gyms were rare to non-existent and people ate 3 meals a day with a dessert.

I swear there's something in the food or water.

avtarius · 2018-12-04T07:34:33+00:00

Disorders aside, when conveniences were scarce, people were all more aesthetically proportionate.

Now it takes a society which is judgmental about physical appearance to keep that in check. (I love that I live in one, but don't follow the "rules" anyway)

Considering you live in the US, where this isn't a norm anymore, it's best to keep your standards high, and ignore the monstrosities. We travel for sightseeing anyway.

I turned 33 a few months back and have been noticing this for the past 8 or so years. I keep thinking to myself, when did women start getting so big at all age ranges. These past few years i've been taking better care of myself and it's only gotten more noticeable as well, they just don't seem to even try anymore and it doesn't help most of them wear tighter cloths than they used to.

[deleted] · 2018-12-03T21:29:21+00:00

You should go to Europe: Paris, Madrid, Milan . . . you rarely see obese people, some fat one, and the young people are mostly fit.

Older_Miggy · 2018-12-04T00:30:59+00:00

I graduated college 1982.

There's always been some fat chicks. It was always amusing to watch the pizza delivery guy go into the women's dorm (do they even have those anymore?) with a large pizza and a 6 pack of Tab.

I think the proportion of fat chicks to the overall total was much smaller back then. Nowadays they're everywhere.

[deleted] · 2018-12-04T01:12:54+00:00

as far as the u.s. goes in the early 90s on back the vast majority of men and women weren't overweight.
