I loved the trains in the 1890's so much detail compared to plastic trains now lol

Last few years I've really enjoyed looking at postage stamps. Even joined a postcard exchange community a year or so ago. Received a card from Ukraine yesterday believe it or not! Yes stamps are anoraky but I enjoy leaning about them

Cool picture, but when you actually look into things it turns out people were alot smaller back in the day.
Even Danny Devito that is a small person by todays standards is taller & larger than the guy that was considered 'tallest man in history' back in the day.

I don't know what is wrong with some females these days. I think she might want to look like one of them blow up dolls, plastic people

I don't know but do males actually like the look of that?

I don't think so. Not me personally anyway.

I think the girl in the pic could probably do with some counselling. Some of them seem to get caught in a circle of plastic surgery and are never satisfied no matter the results.

The answer is no. I like natural looks and little make-up.

Why women want butt implants, fish lips, fake eyelashes and everything else is beyond me.

Many end up looking like plastic aliens. I can only issue they do it to impress each other as it scares off most men.

 

[Kroffe]

Hmmm... i think the one on the left is slightly more attractive.
I dont like the plastic look the one on the right has.

You would find the one on the left more attractive.

After all you spend every night with her

Its not every night, Paul.
Trust me, you dont want to be around her when shes in a bad mood.

I’ve watched a bunch of these (some from the late 1890s even) on YouTube. Fascinating to see how things looked back then.
