I'm about a decade older than you and this was going on AT LEAST a decade prior to the movies you referenced.

It wasn't until En Vogue came along that any men looked at me twice because they made my body type (voluptuous and athletic) fashionable. Before then, if you didn't look like you just escaped forced heroin rehab, you weren't just invisible, you were an eyesore who should be force dragged down to the nearest plastic surgeon or fat camp as part of a neighborhood/high school improvement program.

Jordan Petersen is full of shit. This is selective memory at its finest.
