Which Generation was the Most Attractive in their prime?

Seriously OP?

The GAY generation

Gen Z supposedly doesn't even bathe anymore so not them.

Current generation are too fat.

Gen X. Millennials and Z are to fat to be attractive.

And boomers aged quickly.

The Lost Generation

Gen X

R5 LOL I know you meant it as a diss but in actuality it’s the truth. Most of my Millennial and Gen Z patients are fat/ obese. It’s also supported by some evidence as well.

R9, it was a diss, but I know it's true too. They're definitely the fattest of generations. They were fat as kids too.

That's why I picked Gen X as the most attractive. Previous generations looked old before their time, younger generations are fat, so logically, Gen X is the most attractive generation overall.

The men of the Restoration generation were dashing, although I myself was fast approaching middle age

Yes R10, being fat and at risk of getting obesity-related cancers is not attractive because it’s unhealthy. Despite what Lizzo and the fat positive movement propelled by Millennial celebrities, getting double the cases of obesity-related cancers like pancreatic cancer (compared to older generations at same age) is not attractive. Yes there are fat Gen X’ers too but they tend to gain weight as they age, whereas fat Millennials and Gen Z are fat starting at very young ages.

To me, the Greatest Generation has always been the most attractive. They took far more care with their appearance than the succeeding generations, and it helps that I love the fashions and many of the hairstyles from their prime era, the '40s and '50s. It's true that they aged quicker than we do nowadays, but OP asked which generation was the most attractive in their prime.

I agree r13

Gen X was the most attractive in their prime because they used to work out. It was common for women to do aerobics a few times per week.

Yuppies and hippies were good looking at the opposite ends of the grooming continuum.

Gen-X icons like Jen Aniston still look young and modern in their '50s.

There are obvs a bunch of Xers voting on this poll since no one else thought they were hot with their greasy long hair and disgusting baggy clothes

The Boomers were the first generation to present themselves naturally. They had long flowing manes and naturally lean and strong bodies.

Every other generation seems to go to great lengths to modify their bodies - from things like neon hair, all the way to bizarre piercings. If you have this need to modify your body, you're admitting that it really isn't all that attractive, aren't you?

Gen Z, although they're aging quickly. What's the next generation called?

Fetuses

The correct answer is "H: Fuck off with your retarded generational absurdities"

As a GenX who had my prime years in the late 80s, early 90s I’d say it wasn’t us. Looking back we had the worst hair and clothes imaginable. Mullets, acid washed denim, oversized sweaters, gaudy colors and so on. Think of the things the kids on Saved by the Bell wore.

You certainly exercise your mouth, Cher.

Mullets and long hair were the 70s, r23/ r24 -- pre-Gen X, IMO.

I dunno, I see a lot of high school hotties. Guys didn’t seem that hot back then.

R25, that was a CLUELESS reference you non-Baldwin!

Generation Now I Know My ABCs

When I was in high school there were very few cute guys. They must have all been in other schools.

R20 Generation Alpha ya perv!

Silents

I'd say greatest. I love the WWII era fashions and everyone was so svelte.

Look at the models in the 1980's, they are the most beautiful

What an idiotic thread topic. I shall follow it with wonder.

Whichever generation it was that wore flat caps and suspenders. I'd like to go back in time to hook up with a man from that era, lol.

I like a hairy chest and longer hair so I find some 70's guys appealing but some of them just look dirty.

Gen. X

I guess this thread proves that Xers have surpassed Boomers in self important narcissism

Oh we are talking about fashion is it?

Attractiveness transcends generations

Another vote for greatest gen

Gen X

Brad Pitt gen

None of the above

Every new generation is generally assumed to be more attractive in their prime than the last.

Calcium, and modern dentistry have primary roles as to why that theory works on paper.

Now, that being said, I find it sad that natural beauty is no longer considered the highest standard as far as the genetic lottery is concerned.

We currently highlight cosmetic, purchased beauty that is obtained to creat the illusion of prime beauty.

Prime beauty is ages 13-20. Brooke Shields and Lisa Bonet, or the rarity of a Rock Hudson or a James Dean.

Prime and peak beauty isn’t common, as it is a genetic fluke.

The places where we have seen naturally occurring stunners are, for example, certain Ethiopian tribes and certain Indian and middle eastern villages.

Europe had a good lot of pretty boys until wars cut them in their primes and I do not consider Insta-hoes to be genetically beautiful as it is all constructed.

If we stopped the photo shop and injure toons we would see our beauty in our youth again. Also, specific races creating babies creates some really fucking gorgeous people. Some of the hottest men I’ve ever seen are Mexican-German or Mexican-Dutch. A totally rare genetic splendor. Just absolutely gorgeous men who look amazing and stand out, however, rare to spot.

*Instta-hoes” not “injure boons”. Lmao.

This is such a dumb question. There are always gorgeous people and homely people evenly distributed throughout every population.

Unless you're really asking what era's style we prefer, the question is foolish.
