Did people look that ugly during the Rennaisance, or were painters taking liberty in their craft?

best style for grey hair image

I know pale was in style, but it seemed everyone had pale gray hair and rather plump features.
Make that Renaissance.

Answer
Plump people were considered attractive because during that era, being plump signified you were healthy and wealthy enough to afford to eat on a regular basis. Also, pale skin meant you spent most of your time indoors, out of the sun and not performing manual labour all day in the fields. People considered attractive today (hard bodied, model physique) would have been thought peasants, poor, and unattractive.

You're wrong about the era on the pale gray hair though. Powdered wigs didn't come into style until the 18th century. People in the Renaissance wore their hair in natural colours.

Hope this helped you,

Do you agree that women are like picked fruit and mine like wine, when aging?

Damnable

Women look the best around 15, that's why you married them at that age back in the day, and why models need to be skinny etc. And after that age they become less, and less attractive.

Men on the other hand age with style. A little gray hair is a sign of wisdom. He matures mentally, becoming a superior man that has learned fromhis misstakes.

What do you think?

Answer
nonsence. at 15 i looked dreadful (not that im full of myself now but then i was stick thin with really bad hair-not good) and models should not be skinny-very unhealthy.
i think some men age well, some dont. some women age well, some dont. and we all mature over time-women quicker then men regarding that.
