I'm not that old, but I don't remember anyone's thinking large diameter females were attractive in my day (except for that big butts song, which I always thought was a joke). Is this a new phenomenon with the kids these days? Thin was always in, and any female with remotely large legs, hips, or butt was called "thunder thighs" by some. I personally don't like stick legs, thigh gap, or fat. I've always thought a slightly muscular lower half (like soccer players, track athletes, dancers) was the most attractive.
