Most medieval women were fat, other than peasants. Curves are specific to people, but that doesn't change the fact that they are genetic
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;22454749]Most medieval women were fat, other than peasants.[/QUOTE]
yeah, and most people were peasants, so if most people are peasants (who are skinny), how could there be more fat people?
you make no sense good sir, also
IT'S NOT GAY (say that in an ex-navy voice)

when you look at the women of a time period, do you look at the peasants or the rich? If you were to look at women this time period I'm sure you wouldn't look at at homeless people.
How the hell are we supposed to know how they looked back in the middle ages, it's not like we found some 500 years-old manuscript detailing the looks of women all around the world, or their pictures carved in stone with photoshop-level details. What I don't understand is why anyone could possibly care about this. It's not like you're after something that you can actually dig out like a fossil and then being able to understand "the past", you're after their appearance, and that doesn't leave any traces down history's throat as far as middle ages are concerned and it lasted like that until humanity found a way to take photos.
And why the heck am I even describing this, I thought it was obvious. The only thing we can do is debate about our imagination, which means none of us could be right, unless we magically stumble on a time-travel machine and go check back in time for ourselves.

uhhhh paintings?
exactly, which is what I said earlier, but nontheless, I don't like tan people
and before people go and call me racist, I will agree with those people calling me racist
lol
anyway we are talking standard, so you would have to assume, although that is hard to do, so basically when you boil down to it...
put a modern woman in medieval clothing, or alternatively, just get a 50s women, and even alternatively to that, get a girl from the future to ride on space horses

"Hell no they only washed themselves like once a day fucking gross"

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22454531]I wonder if that has something to do with no specific facial details being shown as it is lower quality, and black and white.[/QUOTE]
I won't deny that.

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;22454982]uhhhh paintings?[/QUOTE]
You'd actually believe that paintings would be a proper representation of the entirety of the women populace of the known middle ages world? The best paintings can do is certainly represent the shape and appearance of an individual... and even then, who'se to say that the features were not embellished. I'm talking about knowledge of the appearance of women in general during the middle ages here, not individuals who were lucky and important enough to be painted during those turbulent times. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a painting of a "beautiful" (by today's and your own standards of beauty to that) woman of the middle ages it'd be just as good as saying that you found a picture of a beautiful woman today somewhere on the Interwebs, it doesn't mean anything and it certainly doesn't mean that suddenly the rest of the women on the planet were even similar looking to that painting.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;22453351]No they believed fat made them good looking.
Now i don't like really skinny women, but i'd rather take a skinny chick then a fat chick (depends on how fat though)[/QUOTE]
I don't like fat chicks but a big booty gets me goin.
Most of the medieval population were peasants. Aww yaa peasant galss.
[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;22455080]I won't deny that.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, I'm not saying she's less attractive or nothin, but the lack of specifics is a big factor.

Yea, I'd tap that.
I think that women from the early - middle 20th century were better looking. Not fat like previous centuries and not overdone like now. They had the best voices too in my opinion.
