Americans in general look absolutely gross compared to back then. Not saying I am the best looking person but collectively it's strange how far America has fallen since back then.

Then perhaps you shouldn't be saying anything at all.
Are you one of those guys who walked uphill both ways to school and liked it?
You could look up pictures of young adults up till about 1990 or so and see the difference. People of today are not of the same quality, they are fatter, more lazy and sloppy. They also speak in a less educated way. I am afraid this all suggests that Idocracy is more than just a movie......It is prophecy.
This is pretty specific to the U.S. I have some interesting philosophies about it to share later if I have time that go beyond too much food/not enough exercise. There is an uglification movement in the USA and we are in deep denial about it.

It's only one opinion but it coincides nicely with the rise in the popularity of the Internet. When online life > offline life one may lose the motivation to keep themselves looking good.
They can dress well but they are unhealthy. It is what it is. If you find a lot of obese people attractive you are in the minority.
I prefer my women to have some meat on the bones. I'm sure some women I consider knockouts are technically overweight but being obese is another thing altogether.

Thread is about "looks" not health. And a lot of thin people I know are in poor health. I'm technically overweight but have no health problems. I lift very heavy weight (can squat over 300lb and I'm a woman) but don't take any steroids or anything. My doctor is always surprised at how much I weigh because I don't "look" overweight to her even though per the scale I am. I don't weigh myself except when I go to the doctor today because I know that weight is not an indication of "health." But because I do have health issues in my family, I go to the doctor 2-3 times per year in order to monitor blood pressure in particular as it runs in my family. The person who has it the worst is my skinniest aunt and that is because she smokes and eats a lot of pork IMO. She is about 5'7" and weighs about 145lbs.

I know many women who are technically considered "obese" but who are just "thick" if you know what I mean. Many of them are 200lbs but are body builders who have strong bodies that aren't muscular like a man with big butts lol.
My Grandmother used to say the same thing about Elvis....
I think every generation is worse than the one before it.
I find it hilarious that people think we're so much smarter than our ancestors. Where is the modern-day equivalent of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton?
It amazes me just how dumb we are, while everyone imagines themselves brilliant, as does every generation.
