1870s
The fatter, the more handsome, the more popular
In modern times, obesity is mostly regarded as a disease, and it mostly means that the person's eating and living habits are incorrect.
But in the 1870s, due to the difficulty of obtaining food, most of the obese men were rich second generations, and they were also a group of people with particularly good women's popularity.
In 1866, there was a "fat club" in Connecticut, USA, which became a gathering place for celebrities. Weighing more than 200 pounds (about 90kg) to join, I didn't expect to be popular in the United States.
1930-1950s
Thin and not woody
The boys of this era are relatively thin, and they all tend to have a somewhat muscular body type.
This era is the dawn of Hollywood cinema, and due to the influence of the body shape of the male protagonist in the movie, the ideal body of the man also changes.
Clark Gable was the male god of that era.
And John Wayne.
and Charles Atlas.
1960s
Rock slim type
In this era, the beautiful body was not so important to them, and the Most Important Thing for Americans at that time was to show their unique rock personality by exaggerated clothing and long hair.
The representative figure is Michael Jagger (Mick Jagger).
And John Lennon.
1980s
It's good to be big and strong like Hulk
At this time, due to the popularity of gyms and health clubs, as well as the rise of movies starring bodybuilding stars such as Arnold and Stroon, men began to pursue muscle building.
Superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger
Stallone
1990s
Muscular line type
Later men sought the perfect body is more difficult to practice, you can't practice too much, you can't be too thin.
The arms have to have lines and the abdomen to have six muscles, as Brad Pitt did in The Gatehouse Club.
From fat men to muscular men, popular aesthetics are also constantly changing with social and economic development.
Although it is a reference in the United States, at a time when the fitness industry is developing better and better, I believe that the fitness handsome guy with clear muscle lines will definitely be loved by more and more Chinese girls!
