Upper Class Taste On Beauty And WORKING CLASS Taste On Beauty?
Don't mean to be stereotypical or to stereotype anyone but stereotypes do exist for a reason. Why are there a lot of WORKING CLASS Men who like curvy girls meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum there are a lot of UPPER CLASS Men that like skinny girls? Just curious. There are studies and researches about these too that I cannot remember anymore.

I don't know, but my guess would be because upper class (especially in the United States) tend to be white Anglo Saxons while the working class are Black and Hispanic. Blacks and Hispanics tend to like their women curvy as evidenced by their dating habits in their home country. I also think a lot of it has to do with traditional values in the upper economic class where a lady is supposed to be petite and not very sexual. Dating a woman who is voluptuous and very sexual makes the male and his family look bad in their social circles. People talk, and not in a good way.

Of course this is how I see it. What do you all think about this?

Rich men get to pick who they want to ****. The poorz just get drunk and find an available hole. It's not really very complicated.

Poor folk also want to **** women who look like their moms - it's because it's a known fact that they are all incestuous.

Somehow I get the impression "curvy" is being used in the OP as a euphemism for "fat." A curvaceous figure is alluring to all normal men, oinkers are not! Likewise, slender bodies are generally appealing, truly skinny, not so much. I think a so-far overlooked factor is that the women that upper class men "get" are much more likely to take care of themselves well. The mates of lower-achieving men tend to let themselves go.

You're pretending poorz have a choice in who they ****. Unless they're going a rapin' it comes back to the ugly whore at the end of the bar.

Well, I know it's stereotypical, and I don't want to stereotype anyone, but we all know stereotypes exist for a reason. And stereotypically, the poorz are the Blacks and the Hispanics, and they're all fat because they're living on welfare and eating junk food all the time. The rich people are the Whites, and they work hard so they can afford healthy food and gym memberships, just stereotypically speaking.

Naturally, each kind sticks with their own. But that might be stereotyping on my part.

Probably it's what Harold said.

Yes. The irony is that people of The Upper Class from The 1800s valued " BEEFINESS " as a sign of class beauty and emaciation as a symbol of lower class stature. Otherwise is true today. Why and when this happen today? I really wanna know guys.

That's mostly a myth. Underweight was considered bad and associated with illness, but the preferred body shape was always curves without being fat. As for the original question, it's rooted in fact and interesting but probably unanswerable. That said, there's a proven association between hunger and an attraction toward thicker body types.

I think there is too much racial and class stereotyping going on in this thread: A lot of young Mexican girls and women (late teens and early 20s) are just gorgeous...and I do see many where I live. Fifteen years later an awful lot of them have morphed into fat mamacitas with a brood of ninos.

Likewise a lot of lower class white girls can be very beautiful: I doubt if many high-dollar hookers/escorts, strippers and Appreciation actresses ever went to cotillion or debuted in society. Many also jump into early marriages or cohabitations and let themselves go physically. Also, it has been much easier for women to rise in social position if they are exceptionally good looking by marrying upward than it has been for men, at least historically speaking.
