Upper class aesthetic: physique

[Anonymous]

I doubt these types of women have eaten more than 1000 calories a day for many decades. I have a friend with such a physique, even after three kids, who comes from old money: she has a disordered eating pattern and has since adolescence (which is not discouraged by her family of origin, by the way).

Do you actually not understand that some people are just naturally skinny?

Yes some people diet and workout obsessively and smoke or use Ozempic. And some people are genetically programmed for thinness. Just like some people are genetically programmed to be very tall or get vericose veins or breast cancer or to have fewer wrinkles or whatever.

No one is "pretending" it's genetics. Sometimes it's genetics.

I’m not talking about people who are just naturally skinny (I am also naturally skinny). I’m talking about the specific long, lean, “rich” look that OP is talking about. It’s a very specific look for a specific set of people

That's what my body is like and I don't diet or exercise obsessively nor am I on Ozempic. I lift weight a few times a week (like 30 minutes 4x a week not 2hrs 5x a week) and I'm pretty sporty generally -- I hike and kayak and play tennis on the weekends because I enjoy those activities.

It's just my body type. I have long limbs and a long neck and am relatively flat chested. As long as I do some form of strength training my arms looked toned but they don't bulk up because it's just not how my body works. I also have a flat butt.

Humans come in all shapes and sizes and this is one of them. The idea that all long and lean women are on Ozempic is as silly as assuming all short women with big boobs are diabetic. It's just a body type.

The ones who just became long and lean certainly don’t have that body type. They aren’t fooling anyone.

Flat butt is gross

You just simply don’t have that body type. There is a specific group of people who think you can make your body be whatever you want if you don’t eat, and that’s simply not the case.

If your ancestors were sturdy, broadbacked workers you can’t starve your way to that body.

These are thin women but none look muscular to me.

Gwyneth and Amal have always been long and lean, even before they were famous, before they had kids. That is their body type.

Meghan isn't "long and lean" and never has been but she's always been thin while also not being super athletic. So she's either naturally small and thin or she's always dieted to stay super thin and continues to do so. None of these women used to be curvy and thick and now suddenly looks like this.

Eat about half what you eat now and keep up the exercise. Seriously, it will work. These women only eat when it's social. They probably only drink when it's social too. Many many many skipped meals. I keep this look too.

These aren't random wealthy people, they're people whose careers are built on their looks (at least three first two). There's a massive selection bias in which rich people you're looking at pictures of. If you framed the question in terms of "Hollywood celebrities" everyone would be like "well, pick up any women's magazine in the last 30 years and every interview will be about how they maintain this look."

Not necessarily wrong though. Two of my SILs lost significant amounts of weight in their 30s and 40s and one said it was literally from eating half what she usually ate. (The other pretty much starved herself to a degree that was worrisome, but eats meals again and had regained a lot.) You have to at least be eating enough to stay healthy

Meghan is short. You have to be at least 5’8” to get the long and lean look. But she looks emaciated now. That’s not natural to her.
