In the 1960's, things were really different such as the technological advances and even beauty standards.

Here are some of the most surprising and amusing things men found attractive those days.



1. Lighter Skin

Racism was rampant in the 1960s and despite the reforms made, the Miss America Pageant still didn't allow African-American contestants.

Even within the African-American community, a preference for lighter skin was apparent, and men would usually go for the white women, although this slowly began to change in the 1960s with people embracing their skin color.

Huge appetite.

2. Thin Bodies

In the 1950s and early 1960s, voluptuous women like Marilyn Monroe were cultural icons.

The slim trend were more pronounced in those days and men don't really shy away from appreciating the women's slim nature.

They found the shape as being sexy and beautiful to the eyes and as time goes on models became thinner and thinner.

3. Flat chests

As models became thinner, curves became less desirable and as time goes on curvaceous women were passed over in favor of underweight teenagers.

Weight loss became the primary obsession of the ladies who tends to be viewed more appreciably by the men.

I still can't understand why the men would go for the flat chested ladies in those days unlike these day men goes for the huge cheated ladies

Funnily weird.

@OP this ur post no complete nah..

4. Flat butts

The desire for more boyish figures was not entirely to please men or to conform to fashion. It was noted that "the changing shape of women's bodies has in many ways served to reflect larger cultural values."

One woman managed to reduced her 39-inch hips down to 34 inches through exercise, 'standing correctly,' and using 'a special rolling pin.'

Throughout history, "a thin, straight figure was prized" at times "when women were striving to demonstrate their equality."

5. Exposed legs

Now, this is the one that can seduce majority of the men. I term it as a seduction placement.

The young ones found that displaying their physique was the most effective means of setting themselves apart from the older generation.

More attention was paid to the length and shape of a woman's legs and author Sheila Hardy wrote that many women felt they did not have the legs for a miniskirt.

6. Going braless

By the late 1960s, many women were going braless as "a political, protest move symbolizing freedom and rejection of traditional views of femininity."

Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent contributed to making going braless not just a form of protest but also a fashion trend.

His designs were always modeled by women who wore no undergarments beneath them and men being men have no choice but to find it attractive.

7. Long, straight hair

Many men also wore their hair long at this time. The changing hairstyles weren't just about following fashion.

For many, they were also "acts of rebellion against the highly constructed female hairdos and very short male haircuts of the previous generation."

8. Submissive

In this era, women were still expected to be homemakers and sex objects. In spite of reforms made towards gender and racial equality, women still did not have the same rights as men.

It was legal for a bank to deny an unmarried woman a credit card whereby married women were often required to have their husbands co-sign.

In The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, Betty Friedan summed up the frustration of the generation, writing, "A woman today has been made to feel freakish and alone and guilty if, simply, she wants to be more than her husband's wife."

Following... Interesting topic.

9. Smoking

Drinking in excess may have been taboo for women looking to attract a man, but smoking was considered attractive.

The tobacco industry targeted women in the 1960s, taking advantage of the growing feminist movement by portraying smoking as the pinnacle of gender equality.

Virginia Slims were launched as a women's cigarette in 1968, with the slogan "You've come a long way baby."

10. Leg makeup

The rise of the miniskirt meant that women felt the pressure to put their best leg forward. By the mid 1960s, a new trend was emerging: leg makeup.

Makeup had been used on legs before, perhaps most notably during World War II when a shortage of stockings propelled women to draw on stocking seams with eyeliner to make it look like their legs weren't bare.

Women would carefully apply makeup to their legs to cover up blemishes, bruises, scars, and other imperfections and then further concealed with stockings.

The use of leg makeup shows just how conflicted women in this era were.

11. Athletic skills

Athletics were viewed as a way for women to maintain "attractive" figures.

A woman with an athletic physique was considered attractive, but female athletes had a long way to go to be accepted in society. It wasn't until 1972 that the U.S. Congress passed Title IX, which helped secure funding for women's sports.

The female athletes of the 1960s were largely viewed as hobbyists who were only indulged in that, in order to help them remain slim.

Are you really sure about all this things?

Or you just assume that's how things were during those era?

Because some of this points don't look like "it".

Beauty is evolutionary

Remove flat chests and butts.The thing shock me,make I no lie.

These are strictly things Caucasian men find attractive.

African-American men and African men generally have never been attracted to skinny, flat-assed or flat-chested women.

The genetic makeup of an African woman's body doesn't even allow it to remain so skinny.
In other words, being thin/skinny is an aberration among women of African descent.

Hmmmmm, men from which country(ies)?

Sexual attraction I believe is hardwired into a person. Fashion trend can't alter most of them
