Young people in early 2000s vs now...

[Slick_36]

You're comparing carefully composed glamor shots to social media and paparazzi pictures, of course there's going to be a huge difference. There are more fat people and there are more fit people, we have less average people today though.

 

[Slick_36]

True. The obesity epidemic existed before the advent of social media. Also, you have factor in the frequency of the meals. People are grazing and snacking more often these days, which elevates the insulin level and leads to obesity and metabolic syndrome.

I eat once a day and limit my carb intake to prevent this happening and to promote satiety and control my appetite.

What happened to grazing as being good for the metabolism?

 

[cmw43]

I don't have time or interest for Instagram. That and the chick is not lean and has a fat face.

Theres more people at both extremes today.

More cheap unhealthy food than ever before but there's also a lot more gyms and interest in fitness lifestyle so I'd say there's considerably more lean muscular people now than 20 years ago especially due to the rise in things like crossfit, recreational running and ease of access to gyms and even youtube workout channels plus a growing supplement and organic food market.

It's actually a bad diet advice on par with the idea that a low fat diet is good for you.

When you eat frequently throughout the day, you're not allowing your insulin level to go down, but instead continuously increase, which can lead to metabolic syndromes such as pre-diabetes and visceral fat gain.

many celebs have shit bodies with plastic asses, then again many celebs have godly bodies. I think the overall situation turned more towards extremes in the media.
If we talk about regular people, in Russia many ppl took up training, crossfit, etc. mor epeople are fit and have good bodies. Then, more fatasses and ugly sjw type people as well. Also I might note that many of modern fashion trends do not complement most of the body types, and many ppl look worse than they could.

you have a cartoon for your AV and the first pictures in your post were about guys you thought were hot. i'd say you do have the time to learn what beautiful women look like.

professor @GearSolidMetal will help you out.

It's not cartoon it's Steve fox from tekken. Scroll down and you see I posted pics of babes. Fact of the matter is that the early 2000s youngsters looked leaner and healthier than today's fatties who gave invented the term " thick"

i actually noticed the fitness boom in russia when it started, there was a gym in every corner of saint petersburg.

Back when i was a kid or teen it was bar/bar/liquoir store/gun store lol

(actually liked the "old" russia more now its getting some cultural influence from the west)

Some things were better without western influences, but thugish "culture" from 90s needs to go away.
Fun fact - bodybuilding was ostracised in the USSR as vain and self-indulgent and it was an underground culture. Then, 90s came, for some time noone gave a fuck, and then fitness boom happened.

Is it just me or does it feel like youngsters ( teens/20s/30s) of the past seemed way more fit and better looking? I ask because I was at a mall that I have not been in over a decade and I saw the most out of shape human beings everywhere. Meanwhile over a decade ago, everyone looked jacked or in a great shape.

I remember guys and girls looking like Paul Walker, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling:

Most importantly, the chicks had tight bodies, small waist, thin face and a radiant look about them. Yes they are celebrities but I am comparing them to modern celebrities as oppose to the average person.

Cliffs:

-Young folks in the mid-2000 had better physique and a more muscle dense as well a symmetric look

-Todays young folks seem bulky or straight up overweight and terrible symmetry

These threads make you look old as fuck.

 

[SamSchmidt]

Young people back then had drive and patriotic fervor.

Now they are a bunch of whiny fucking self entitled pussies who want to cut their dicks off and dress up in pantyhose.

They want free everything, they don't know what the fuck the word work means. They go to rallys without understanding wtf they are whining about beyond the new Buzz word of the day. They gather together in liberal circle jerks and Jack each other off with their liberal tears over Orange man cuz bad.

That's the difference.

You wanted to know the difference?

That's the fucking difference

It is what it is.

There are fatter aka "thicker" people now.

I think it's due in part to the fact that acceptance of fat is at a high, and people have become lazier with the times.

Most of the people in my gym are 30+.....

Whereas when I was younger, there was a ton of late teens early to mid 20s in the gym.

Hell, I'm 38, and guys at my office 15 years younger look like shit compared to me. I'm not saying I'm ripped, just that this generation is full of lazy fucks .

My gym is stacked with teens and 20 somethings, male & female, if I time my session wrong and end up at a busier time, I think they'll be more girls/women in there than every woman I saw in the first 10 years of me lifting/going to a gym.

 

[j123]

Yeah

You were actually shamed for being fat compared to well post-2010. Growing up, and I'm not that old, I remember if you didn't have a 6 pack, you weren't a guy. You're just a sloppy piece of shit.

What's funny is those same people who were advocating that then.... Are fat fucks right now

I've been wanting to go there. Do I really get a penthouse suite for 5 bucks? Because 1 american dollar is 5 billion rubles right?

To be short, no. No one will take hats off at the sight of a dollar.
It is now cheaper for foreigners than 5-6 years ago though, rouble dropped.

Lol. But for real I want to go to Moscow too. Check out the square. I'm just scared to go to either there or China because I was in the US Army and I'm scared they will find a reason to lock me up. It's real shit I trip on. It's why i haven't visited either place yet. I wonder if they will think I'm a spy or some shit even though I was just a lowly infantry peon.

I had a security clearance too though. So that's what really worries me
