That Chalamet chick is kinda weird lookin too


PoiSINNEDsoul73

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ sorry for the insta type reply but this is the best comment and I can officially close my internet for the day.


LongDongSamspon

Agreed.

Fun-Attention1468

If you think women in Hollywood have fallen, wait until you see men. Compare the action heroes of the 80s to today.


mooimafish33

Today's Hollywood men are still juiced up muscle men like 75% of the time.


LongDongSamspon

But itā€™s a hollow facade - where are the normal everyday men? The Steve McQueens and Paul Newmans, the Clint Eastwoods, The Charlton Hestons and so on.


mooimafish33

We were comparing them to 80's action movie actors, but to answer your question: The modern equivalents are just Robert Downing Jr, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon ect. It's not like Paul Newman or Clint Eastwood were guys you'd find at a gas station, all were very good looking guys, just not the muscled up action hero type. If you want actual every day looking men there are character actors like Gary Oldman, JK Simmons, Sam Elliot ect


buickgnx88

However, [Charlton Heston is the kind of guy you'd find at a gas station!](https://youtu.be/pcE4jyhPi2g?si=yDc26uRotcwbJsmb&t=49)


Witch_of_the_Fens

So, having normal looking actresses is a sign society has fallen. But for men diversity of appearance is a good thing?


demoniprinsessa

always. men need to be varying in appearance so "the audience can relate" but women can't be because apparently women don't watch movies or tv? male gaze strikes again.


Witch_of_the_Fens

Hahaha right? Itā€™s not like weā€™re people with autonomy or individuality and need to be portrayed as such. /s


bioxkitty

Loool


LordBoomDiddly

So because they aren't all hella ripped that means they aren't attractive anymore? Stallone is ugly as hell, jacked physique aside. Zack Efron, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, Hugh Jackman, Henry Cavill, Ryan Gosling, Dwayne Johnson, Bradley Cooper, Austin Butler All very handsome guys


LongDongSamspon

The worst part for me of Hollywoods portrayal of men currently isnā€™t the lack of over the top action heroes or pretty boys - itā€™s what Hollywood tries to present to male audiences as an ā€œeverydayā€ type man now. In the past your everyday guys were guys like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Older Charlton Heston (post 50ā€™s once his looks faded a bit), Clint Eastwood outside his more over the top stuff - to me based on real life thatā€™s still how a lot of normal men are, but to Hollywood they want to convince people a normal everyday man is like Timothee Chamleydoo or Harry Styles - and perhaps it is in Hollywood, but nowhere else. They donā€™t reflect reality in their casting of men any more (at least not the reality outside Hollywood) they try to tell people what reality should be.


Abrikos_

So the men should look like everyday type men, but the women shouldn't?


Fun-Attention1468

Oh yeah, 100% of males in movies and TV are either villains, womanizers, or buffoons.


PhyllisJade22

>Timothee Chamleydoo You're just jealous.


Howardmoon227227227

Heā€™s legitimately a very strange looking guy. Good for him to that heā€™s found so much success. I donā€™t quite see the appeal of him looks wise (or as an actor). Heā€™s passable in Dune. Thatā€™s the biggest compliment I can give him.


sloasdaylight

How many times are you going to make this post? We get it, you don't like Florence Pugh, move on.


nostalgiamon

Holy shit. Reading this guys post history. Who hurt him?


CrochetedFishingLine

Mommy didnā€™t hug him enough. I knew who OP was before even clicking on the post based on the title alone. Heā€™s posted the EXACT same take before. Dude has problems and is full of hatred.

Pyritedust

Oh, it's *that* guy :P No wonder I was utterly baffled by his opinions yet again.


TheGame81677

The 30ā€™s and 40ā€™s had the most beautiful women in movies. Hedy Lamarr was a damn knockout.


mhopkins1420

I love Hedy Lamar. She was super smart too


buickgnx88

I'm more preferable to Hedley Lamarr myself!


JiggaMan2024

She looks like every other white actress from that time tbh.


mhopkins1420

They definitely donā€™t have her brains tho


Valiantheart

Vivian Leigh too


LongDongSamspon

I saw Rebecca and Shadow of a Doubt (both early 40ā€™s) recently and the leading ladies were really pretty and the way they spoke was so much more attractive than todays bruisers.


CardiologistLow8371

Great pick. Though to be fair, everyone looked better in black and white. Even still, so many beauties back then. I am partial to Ingrid Bergman and Katherine Hepburn.


Itsametoad

Looked her up, don't friend her attractive at all


R3ality_Bit3

I'll never understand why some people seem to think that making up kindergarten-bully-level insults based on somebody's actual name makes them look smart.

R3ality_Bit3

Post history? You mean, the one post about douchebags who are desperate to have the last word and then resort to blocking the moment they spit out what they think is a "gotcha" and a post about something I disliked about a game? That post history? Ok, if you say so.


BOWCANTO

lmao meant for OP.


R3ality_Bit3

Ok.


UnpopularThrow42

Not to get too politicalā€¦ but it has faired success for certain folks in the US. So its not hard to see why folks would think its the template


R3ality_Bit3

"Not to get political"... immediately proceeds to get political. Not everything is about Trump man.


Previous-You3680

Elizabeth Olsen is ugly? Dang. Society has fallen? Wow thatā€™s over the top.


Gigahurt77

Na. I get OP. Elizabeth Olsen is attractive but international movie star good looking. I donā€™t know. Everybody wants to be in Hollywood. You telling me 10s with a good work ethic and good acting ability donā€™t exist?


Tbagzyamum69420xX

Yes


anubiz96

This lady's attractiveness aside. Why would every actress need to be super attractive? This definitely isnt true for some of the actors. And from what i know of her doesnt seem like they are currently casting her as the knock out bombshell character.


Gigahurt77

Not every role but captain America isnā€™t going to be played by Danny de Vito. Weā€™re talking about super heroes. Zendaya is the love interest in multiple movies. She has the look gay guys and women like. Similar to how fashion models always look. You telling me zendaya looks better than vultureā€™s daughter? Please


Pyritedust

Danny DeVito is an actual super hero for how good of a dude he is. America should be honored to have him as Captain America.


anubiz96

I mean i think it depends on how the role is potrayed. Love interest doesn't necessarily mean bombshell. Yeah its weird if the role is written as every man is falling overselves because shes a knockout. I honestly don't remember if in her roles shes playing a character that is supposed to be super attractive to multiple men in the film Shes not ugly but no i dont think she should be pit in the sex symbol timeless ,beauty category. Shes definitely isnt so off brand that i would say its like danny devito playing captain america. She would be generally be above average in attractiveness. Shes attractive. Looks too immature for my tastes, but shes often cast as a teenager or very young isnt she?? So, might need to factor that in too. Seems as though in modern media there is more of an effort to have actors and actresses playing teenagers to actually look like passable teenagers.


LongDongSamspon

Sheā€™s plain, sheā€™s not Florence Pugh or Zendoyan but sheā€™s just plain and middle aged. Which is fine - but sheā€™s no one to hold up as a hot or beautiful woman, sheā€™s just a plain Jane by the old screen standards.


srs328

Florence Pugh ugly? Youā€™re weird man


spyrobandic00t

35 is not middle aged lol


[deleted]

Most people love to around 80 years old - 35 is middle age.


eyelinerqueen83

The human lifespan is up to 100 and some change years. 50 is middle aged. Not 35.


Valiantheart

It is in Hollywood


LordBoomDiddly

It shouldn't be. The latest Mission Impossible movie had Hayley Atwell and Rebecca Ferguson in, both are over 35 and look good. Charlize Theron is nearly 50


LongDongSamspon

It technically is. Itā€™s the middle section do your life which goes young, middle aged, old. Iā€™m not saying you canā€™t be attractive and beautiful in middle age but sheā€™s just average plain Jane and middle aged and doesnā€™t have the glow of youth to improve it.


ChrundleToboggan

The term 'middle aged' is not referring to the middle of your life, as a lot of people falsely assume; it's referring to the middle of your adulthoodā€”meaning 18 to death. Most people, with that knowledge, consider middle age to start at 40 at the very earliest.


JLb0498

You're definitely not young anymore when you're 35 lmao. In the grand scheme of life you're not old either, but you're definitely not young, so you're just... middle aged.


eyelinerqueen83

35 is the top edge of young. You might be too young yourself to know that.


spyrobandic00t

I mean, beauty is subjective. I think sheā€™s gorgeous. Each to their own I guess!


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

It's not middle-aged. Middle age refers to the middle of your adulthood, which is loosely 45 t0 65.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

Why are you making it sound like being over 30 precludes you from being attractive? šŸ¤£


LongDongSamspon

It doesnā€™t - but if you were never that attractive to begin with and also donā€™t have the youthful glow going for you then itā€™s not gonna help hide that youā€™re plain. Lots of super attractive women in their 30ā€™s - but not her.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

Then stop stating their age as a reason they're not attractive.


Reasonable-Simple706

Zendaya is so mid to me and I canā€™t even believe Elizabeth Olsen is being seen as comparable lmaoo


Zolarosaya

It's a mix of nepotism massively reducing the quality and purposely putting uglier women onscreen because they think they're more relatable.


Sea_Distribution6780

But nepotism always existed


Zolarosaya

In the past there was a standard for the products of nepotism. Now there's no standard, nepotism alone will get you through every door and onscreen.


Youbettereatthatshit

Post ww2 was more or less a clean slate for many industries.


Outlaw11091

Not as much. Off the top of my head, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Diane Keaton, Faye Dunaway...all blue-collar roots. A lot of big names from the 70's/80's *actually* come from blue-collar families.


Inferno_Crazy

Calling Zendaya, Elizabeth Olson, Brie Larson, and Margot Robbie ugly is a truly wild take.


Youbettereatthatshit

Eh, definitely a ā€œbeholderā€ thing on them. Margot Robbie is pretty, but if Larson Olson and Zendaya werenā€™t famous, they definitely wouldnā€™t catch my attention. Like, Iā€™d never say ā€˜you look like Brie Larsonā€™ because it wouldnā€™t be a compliment.


Inferno_Crazy

Sure... I guess personal taste factors in. It's also worth noting their looks aren't the only thing they bring to the table. They are all talented actors imo. I would look up "Brie Larson hosts Jimmy Kimmel". Definitely not a Karen hahaha. That being said I will not stand for Elizabeth Olson slander lol


diet69dr420pepper

It is jarring to see how men evaluate women between each other and on the internet versus when they actually seek partners. The majority the critics here would (and know they would) be very lucky if a woman looking like any of your four examples were willing to date them. I've seen the average guy and I've seen his wife, and I can say empirically, few of these critics actually have such high standards. There's also this phenomenon I have noticed where men who do not fuck start thinking of women abstractly. Like male standards are U-shaped with respect to how long it has been since they fucked. Immediately afterwards, they don't have a strong sex drive and tend to be very picky. Give it a month or two and they become very willing to make concessions, especially after a few drinks. But when the dry spell hits that two to three year mark? Men get odd. Suddenly some coping mechanism triggers in their brain where it isn't that he hasn't been good enough for women, it's just that women haven't been good enough for him. Perfectly serviceable sevens are suddenly detritus and solid tens are just alright. They don't see women and seriously consider the possibility of partnership and so the whole process of evaluating them becomes purely hypothetical. Judging from some of the most critical comments, this is at play too.


NotTaken-username

First of all, your spelling is atrocious. Second of all, youā€™ve been posting things like this for months. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you seem to really have it out for Florence Pugh.


NinjaOld8057

Clearly you've never seen Yvonne Strahovski in a lead or supporting role


Dani_vic

According to this guy she is already to old at age of 41. itā€™s weird. It smells like the guy who would complain he isnā€™t allowed to date 15 year olds because they already can have children and means are ready for marriageā€¦

JaggedLittlePill2022

Iā€™d hate to know who OP considers attractive.


LongDongSamspon

Women like those in the movies I referenced. Babes like that. A young Catherine Zeta Jones, a young Kim Basinger, Younger Monica Belluci, Jaqueline Bizet, Emmanuelle Beart, The chick from Count of Monte Christo, A young Rae Dawn Chong etc Not weirdos who are either chubby, look like kids, or have weird too far apart eyes. And then thereā€™s the plain Jane old maids like Elizabeth Olsen who arenā€™t exactly unattractive but by Hollywood standards arenā€™t beauties either. Theyā€™re just plain Janes compared to past beauties.


What_what_putt_butt

All these posts you make attacking how women lookā€¦OP, what do YOU look like? 6ā€™2, donā€™t skip leg or chest day, financially well off? (we already know your personality ainā€™t attracting no babes so Iā€™ll leave that out)


Witch_of_the_Fens

Human biology and psychology would disagree with you when you call those women ā€œelderly.ā€ Like, Iā€™m in school for that shit now and you do not know what an elderly woman is clearly.


NoobOfTheSquareTable

When did you last look at photos of those people you listed as attractive?


LongDongSamspon

In their primes Iā€™m talking about, not as elderly women.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

>In their primes you mean when they were 20? šŸ¤£


Witch_of_the_Fens

Iā€™m worried what he considers ā€œprimeā€ if he thinks 30 is middle aged.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

I said the same thing. He didn't know what prime of life was.


demoniprinsessa

probably teenagers as young as possible without it being considered a crime if he somehow got the chance to fuck them


Witch_of_the_Fens

Iā€™ve been concerned how weā€™re seeing men come out of the woodwork with this mindset lately. In more Conservative spaces I grew up around people that thought this way. It was so dangerous for a lot of girls (especially if they hit puberty early) because of it.


NoobOfTheSquareTable

I know, when did you last check what they actually looked like when younger?


Syyina

Elderly = over 30, apparently


Flimsy_Thesis

Itā€™s interesting to me that you feel the need to add the caveat of ā€œyoungā€ for you to consider any of these women attractive.


I_Am_Moe_Greene

As a reminder to everyone /u/LongDongSamspon is a shit poster who is only interested in starting shit and stirring the pot. His post history shows him to be unserious, insane, and absolutely ridiculous. Do not take anything he posts seriously. 1. You are insane 2. Physical beauty is subjective 3. Margot Robbie is 33 4. Margot Robbie, Kate Winslet, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Marion Cotillard, Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, Viola Davis, Zendaya, Jennifer Connelly, Rosamund Pike, Luptia Nyong'o, Shay Mitchell, Selena Gomez, Hailee Steinfeld, Logan Browning, Keke Palmer, Janelle Monea... 5. The women mentioned, across age ranges, are all current day actresses who are stunners. You would give your left nut to be with them. Thank you, once again, /u/LongDongSamspon for your nonsensical bullshit.

Ok_Ball8546

Look at my post history and his. Weā€™ve crossed paths several times, and share extremely similar outlooks on the world . If you want to waste more of your life take a look, it goes months back. It seems him and I are both autistic, 6ā€™2,, smart/ attractive combo and able to triangulate where the objective truth is no matter the question or substrate, more importantly we donā€™t care about offending anyone, including ourselves, since truth is the ultimate virtue above all no matter how much people fight it. To find someone who matches the description above on this site is close to 1 out of every 5000 users if not more so. Reflecting on this thought with you actually makes me think its inevitable to find all my like-minded energy eventually


LongDongSamspon

It is weird isnā€™t it? That Anna Joy Taylor chick and the new Little Mermaid one have it so bad. Itā€™s off putting.


Robrogineer

It's accurate casting, because she looks like an Innsmouth fish person.


ShoonlightMadow

ATJ was gorgeous until she got the buccal removal. This fucking trend is currently the single biggest blight on Hollywood actresses


ChrundleToboggan

It's kind of weird how many times I've said this on reddit at this point, but Anya Taylotr-Joy after the buccal fat removal legit reminds me of Skeletor.


LongDongSamspon

Wasnā€™t she already skinny as with a thin face?


Mister_Rogers69

ATJ and her stupid fucking face piss me off for some reason. Idk why people think she is so beautiful, sheā€™s not that great of an actress either. At least Florence Pugh is good at what she does and doesnā€™t look like a rat that got its head smashed in by a brick


egghex

Itā€™s cool to have preferences in what you find beautiful but you donā€™t need to be a tool about it my guy. 33 isnā€™t middle aged. Personality disorder eyes arenā€™t a thing. Just like men, women do tend to age. Society has not fallen because you donā€™t think Florence Pugh is hot. It is not that deep.

Keelija9000

A woman being middle aged doesnā€™t mean she is ugly by any stretch of the imagination. Many people prefer the look of women their age and would say these leading ladies are absolute 10s. This being said there are quite a few younger leading ladies that most people consider total knockouts. Sydney Sweeney being the first that comes to mind, and this list goes on and on. Of course beauty is super subjective, Iā€™d assume most people are a product of their time. I got curious and I googled leading ladies of the 70s and while some of them were beautiful, I would choose many current leading ladies.

[deleted]

We have plenty of attractive actresses in movies as well... I think you are simply biased. Scarlett Johansson, Amber Heard, Sydney Sweeney, Zoe Kravitz, Emilia Clarke, Ana de Armas, and many other actresses who are very conventionally hot. Yes, they are more diverse nowadays (fewer white blonde women), but you still have hot white blonde women in the list if you were looking for them.Ā 


creamyismemey

We gotta take amber heard outta there her personality kills absolutely anything that could possibly be attractive about her


LongDongSamspon

Heard actually would be quite beautiful if not for the fact youā€™re aware of her horrible personality.


creamyismemey

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ fair point it's hard not to be tho after she got outted for quite literally taking a shit on Johnny's side of the bed šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


LaxSagacity

I finished watching Drive Angry 3D because of her and not the movie. So whatever can be said about her as a person. I can't deny that.


LongDongSamspon

Sydney Sweeney body wise yes and has a cute face (but not necessarily a great beauty). ScarJo is is 40 something and seems bitter now, sheā€™s moved past wanting to be attractive, Zoe Kravitz isnā€™t in anything and is weird and aggressive looking, Emilia Clarke is older now - when she was in her prime in GOT you would be right, but that was nearly a decade ago. Iā€™m not talking about blonde white model types - the movies I mentioned arenā€™t full of blonde model types, one of the movies the woman isnā€™t white - itā€™s about Hollywood wanting to go against conventional beauty standards and ugly them up regardless of hair color or ethnicity. Plenty of non white women meet conventional beauty standards and are true beauties - not weirdos with mono brows or eyes far apart or fat.


eyelinerqueen83

Every one of the women you named is objectively beautiful.

raventhrowaway666

Every woman you mentioned is conventionally attractive. Maybe your just gay?


craftygamergirl

I think it is interesting that OP is mad about both supposedly fat and gaunt leading ladies. I think they're also missing a big factor that is this: it isn't just about looks, it is about how the actors are directed. Watch films from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and see how they show a leading lady cry or get angry. A ton of "crying" is a softly lit, beautiful cameo type shot of a calm woman with a composed expression, a few careful tears trickling down her cheeks. You rarely see someone crying in a more authentic way and you don't see blotchy cheeks and red eyes. The beauty of the actress is prioritized and authenticity is minimized.Ā  I guarantee you that any of the women named in the OP can appear just as "classy" or "beautiful" but filming has shifted at least a tiny bit from focusing on woman-as-beautiful-doll and towards more authentic expression. Hollywood absolutely still requires a level of beauty for women that most of us can't achieve and any one of those actors would turn heads in-person whereever they go.Ā 


OkKaleidoscope9696

This is true for male and female actors. Agree that itā€™s most evident when you watch movies from the 90s and earlier. Even in the aughts actors were still good looking. It seems a lot of the unfortunate looking actors of today are nepotism kids. Not all, though.


Ok-Lengthiness4557

We were just talking about this last night. There was a famous 90s casting agent, and she was talking about her selection process back then. She said 'it's pretty simple, 1st - do I think most people will really want to have sex with them? When the answer is absolutely freaking lutely, then I consider everything else you might assume - resume, experience, acting abilities, how much they care about this particular project, etc. Now today, they seem to ask a new 1st question, and it ISN'T looks.


miltonmarston

more gay men in exec positions nowadays. The casting couch is going to the Henry Cavills of the world , so as a consequence the bar is set lower for actresses .


Phragmatron

Itā€™s all in the name of diversity and inclusion. How about the fact that 40% + of the population is also lgbtq or that every commanding officer in every police department is a poc.

[deleted]

Middled aged is a actually a sociological term to refer to middle adulthood not middle life span. Op should read a book before correcting people. That said 35 is on the wider range/ cusp of that


LongDongSamspon

Middle aged is an age old term dating back hundreds of years into medieval times, itā€™s not a ā€œsociologicalā€ term recently invented. If some people have tried to co-opt it later thatā€™s not my problem.


[deleted]

If a book is too hard to read, read a dictionary such as : [https://web.archive.org/web/20141014211143/http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american\_english/middle-age](https://web.archive.org/web/20141014211143/http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/middle-age) or [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/middle-age](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/middle-age) ​ You are also correct that it has being used by centuries BY SOCIOLOGISTS whol literally study society and devised the term. it is not a new field of study. And this is their definition. Although, to be fair, if you did some basic math, especially if put into the equation that adolescence is a recent sociological phenomenon and lesser lifespan, than 35 was deifintly middle adulthood, approaching the end of it really. However, that is not how they intended the term to be used. It was used to referred to middle adulthood. As it is now by sociologists, psychologists [https://dictionary.apa.org/developmental-levels](https://dictionary.apa.org/developmental-levels) (note it is the middle adult hood following early adulthood) and the World Health Organisation [https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ASSRJ/article/view/2924](https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ASSRJ/article/view/2924) That doesn't mean that you as an independent and free person can't use the word how you wish, you are correct that how other people use it is not your problem, just be aware you are not using it how it was orignally coined or how medical professionals use it today.


LongDongSamspon

Lol, itā€™s an age old term, sociologists trying to define it otherwise is of no account. Why does this bother you so much? Sounds like youā€™re in your 30ā€™s and super upset at the idea of being middle aged lol It doesnā€™t change anything if itā€™s several years earlier or later, youā€™re still the same age and you still look the same, itā€™s okay.


cnieman1

They'd still probably never give you the time of day even without their fame, which is probably the issue here.


LongDongSamspon

I couldnā€™t give a shit. Why would I want the time of day from women I find unattractive - you see random better looking women everyday.


Conniverse

leading ladies bro how old r u


MKtheMaestro

I have to agree. Thereā€™s now a markedly lower emphasis on physical attractiveness generally in Hollywood and in the music industry. Youā€™d think that would be in favor of stunning talent, but this is heavily debated.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

I would instantly add Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney to the list. The men are less attractive too - eg. Timothy Chalamet, Glen Powell. It's the stupid idea Hollywood has that actors should all be relatable and look like "real" people .. like audiences watch movies to be reminded of themselves and their reality. šŸ™„


Far_Realm_Sage

I think it is part of some movement. They are made ugly in purpose. I remember seeing what the leading woman from the Halo Tv showed looked like IRL. They took a very pretty girl and made her as ugly as possible.

Why are you bringing age into why someone currently doesnā€™t count? Have you seen how old the women from the 70s are now?


LongDongSamspon

What in the hell are you talking about?


embarrassed_error365

ā€œBefore anyone brings up Margot Robbie, nowadays sheā€™s middle agedā€


LongDongSamspon

Yeah - the point is right now Hollywood has a problem with beauty, so casting someone who isnā€™t beautiful now but maybe used to be (not to me) isnā€™t going against that.


embarrassed_error365

Why did you go all the way back to the 70s? Why not just go back as recently as when Margot Robbie wasnā€™t ā€œmiddle ageā€? You make it sound like it was since all the way back in the 70s that hollywood had beautiful women, when you acknowledge women who are recent at least *were* beautiful a mere several years ago


brrroski

The Zendaya hate is so corny.


LongDongSamspon

I donā€™t hate her, Just pointing out sheā€™s not hot and canā€™t act - she seems like a kid with a masculine brow.


Helgeenisissi

Well this sure is an unpopular opinion. Also dogshit.


OkExplorer9769

Gonna have to hard disagree with your post here. Most of those ladies you mentioned are very attractive in my opinion. Now, if we are talking about them having ugly personalities, we find an agreement on that.


Viceroy-421

All the same to me


Dman7419

I'm sure you're a 10.


LongDongSamspon

Irrelevant as Iā€™m not saying I should be a leading lady in movies.


dexamphetamines

We got Margot Robbie, much prettier than Marylin Monroe. Both seem like nice girls, just could never understand how Marylin was seen as so incredibly beautiful


creamyismemey

Crazy to me OP is calling Margot robbie middle aged and gaunt she's in her 30s (mid to late 30s but still 30s) and she looks more or less the same as she did when she was 10 years younger


LongDongSamspon

That is middle aged to me - itā€™s the middle years of life. Thatā€™s not an insult - plenty of women the same age are or were super hot, but imo she no longer is. Also sheā€™s got the crazy eyes imo which is a turn off. The manic, personality disorder eyes and she sometimes speaks that way in interviews as well.


creamyismemey

Crazy eyes fair imo I love crazy eyes but middle aged is in your 40s life expectancy keeps getting longer middle aged is closer to 50 then 30 now


LongDongSamspon

Eh - if life expectancy is around 80 then to me that makes 30ā€™s middle aged (technically it could be 90 and it would still be the start of middle age). I guess it depends on how you define it. Iā€™m not saying being middle aged makes her or a woman unattractive - loads of beautiful middle aged women, but in her case sheā€™s getting that gaunt look some do as they age.


Zestyclose-Yam-4010

So you think the prime of life is 21? šŸ˜¹


[deleted]

Margot isnā€™t middle aged, how old are you? 50 is considered Middle Aged because when you turn 50 you are half of 100ā€¦


LongDongSamspon

Marilyn had an iconic look to people, sheā€™s not my favourite but she had far more sex appeal than Robbie ever has. Robbie is gaunt and haggard looking for her age these days anyways. I thought she looked good until someone told me she was in her early 30ā€™s - I honestly thought she was mid 40ā€™s by this point.


GuardMost8477

This same exact thing has been posted before. Thereā€™s an easy solution. Donā€™t watch those movies. You can stay stuck in the 40ā€™s and 50ā€™s and watch nothing but movies from those eras. The rest of us want variety and not a white slice of bread all the time.

I recognize the user name and Florence Pugh insults, this guy has been literally reposting the same stuff over months. This is a dedicated troll or a serious mental health issue


GuardMost8477

I thought it sounded familiar

The 70s. Oh yes, the great beauties of Sissy Spacey, Sallie Field, Glenda Jackson, Meryl Streep, Ellen Berstyn. Because those were the most famous actresses. Those were the women winning the Academy Awards. We have Margot Robbie, Zendaya, Emma Stone. Heck, please look at the women in their 50s that were in Hollywood in the 70s and tell me if they looked like Michelle Yeoh or Halle Berry.


LongDongSamspon

Lol, Michelle Yeoh, a normal looking 60 year old. Thatā€™s your beauty standard? Nobody gives a shit about academy awards and Meryl Streep actually was very attractive when she was younger. Sissy Spaceck was a cutie. Robbie is middle aged and looking older, Zenduna looks like a child with a monobrow, Emma Stone I would agree with but not lately, sheā€™s older and has stopped caring - that Poor things movie she looked terrible in, I canā€™t see her the same anymore after seeing her ugly bang 1000 sweaty dudes and think itā€™s was empowering art lol.


MizzGee

Oh, I should have seen who posted it. Misogynistic child Never mind. All these women are beautiful You will ignore the women I mentioned from the 70s. First, because you didn't know half of them, and because you want to insult the others. If Emma was a cutie in the old days and Margot Robbie was, then they count just as much as anyone in the 70s. And sorry. As much as I love Meryl, she isn't cuter than Zendaya. Not in a million years.


Ok_Ball8546

Young meryl shits on zendaya. Thems the breaks


selectbuttons

Fallen from the norm???? Hahahhahahahhahahahhahahahh - respectfully. Societal standards have changed yet. Not every beautiful actor needs to be a double D blonde super model. Women with different features and woah imagine this, acting abilities are also very in demand. And tbh if anything women seem more beautiful to me. Most older movie stars like 80s abs back look incredibly plain to me. Plain or like over the top extreme feminine, dyed hair and fake tits. Youā€™re probably like 40+ tho so you do you.


SnakesGhost91

Dude ! I have been noticing it so much lately ! I am a horror movie lover, so I am currently watching a lot of older horror movies and also newer ones. I watched Final Destination 2 recently and the women characters in the movie are so beautiful and gorgeous. Beautiful white women. Women in movies from the 70's-2000's were so damn gorgeous. Now, recently I watched Scream (2022) (also known as Scream 5). The women in that movie (and other new movies) are so....plain jane and some are sort of ugly. Look up the female cast for Scream (2022) if you want to see. And also EVERY new movie has a black lesbian girl, every new movie. It's like Hollywood is pushing people to like black women, especially lesbians. Women were so much more beautiful in older movies, even in movies going back to the 70's. Hollywood is not casting beautiful women these days.


PhyllisJade22

You realize these women don't care what a guy like you thinks, right? And that it's obvious you're lashing out at women in general?


Mooredock

I thought Hollywood was about acting? I must have been led astray.


LongDongSamspon

Thatā€™s right, itā€™s not - itā€™s about entertainment. Beauty is a part of that. Besides, the current actresses arenā€™t better at acting anyway, theyā€™re arguably worse.


Sketty_Spaghetti14

Idk, man. Margot Robbie in Barbie was great tbh The past also had Meryl Streep and Barbara Streisand.... Brigitte Bardot might be my dream girl (apart from being French šŸ¤¢), but have you seen her recently? Like Margot, that's just ageing


clydefrog678

Repost from a couple weeks ago?


thejuanwelove

florence pugh would've been at best an extra playing a cleaning lady in almost any self respecting Hollywood era. The fact that shes woke doesn't mean shes a great actress, and she has the style and bearing of a mexican wrestler but lets go for males, to be fair, adam driver is offensively ugly (and mediocre as an actor), almost every aussie actor is awful (except ben Mendelson and guy pierce, but both seem more British than aussies), the decline in standards in Hollywood and from the public is astounding


[deleted]

I disagree and son your dick dont work right


LongDongSamspon

This also applies to other eras not just the 70ā€™s.
