+427 It seems there were no REALLY hot people prior to the 1900s, amirite?

That's because Johnny Depp wasn't born until 1963.

hahaha true

That's because their definition of hot was different from ours. Sure, there may have been some that would be considered hot now, but back then they were ugly and probably didn't have many paintings made of them because of that.

but have you SEEN the mona Lisa? she was so ugly, how could anyone think that fatass was beautiful

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're pretty biased, being born in the modern era and all. They would see pictures of people we think are beautiful and say "What a toothpick. And look at that face. Ugh."

thats true. I mean, i can see why *i* would think people are pretty/ beautiful- because they look like what we see in magazines and what society has given to us as the poster image of beauty. but why would you think a fat/ cubby person is pretty though? that thought doesnt even process in my mind

Back then, if you were fat, it showed that you had a lot of money and therefore were able to afford a lot of food. Also, if you were pale, then that meant you never had to do outdoor physical labor. So eating a lot and never working out was a sign of wealth, which was the same thing as beauty to them.

Yeah i knew about the pale thing from my history class last year, and i think pale people can still be hot anyway. but fat isnt sexy!!

That really is just a matter of opinion. The defintion of "hot" varies with the current culture.

Doesn't mean they weren't hot in real life

Well...the guy in the Romeo and Juliet movie was really hot! The movie might've been made in the '60s and not in Verona, but still :)

i agree, he was quite hot. but he wasnt BORn before the 1900s!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, I know. I was just using him for an example because I'm not friends with a lot of people who were born before then

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Leonardo da Vinci... Well I don't know if he was actually hot, but we watched a movie about him in History and the actor of him in his twenties looked like an Italian Darren Criss.
