Are there still people who appreciate elegant women in this era?
I always thought that being an elegant and old-fashioned woman would be boring in today's times. All my friends said it was tacky. Thankfully, my boyfriend appreciates me for being myself.
@Miram Yes, exactly! Besides that, you will find many grown women trying hard to have a cute voice, a super small and short body, and much more. I know it's very sad, but it seems everyone here is fine with it.
The emphasis on youth as measure of beauty exists in all cultures, in varying degrees. And not just recently. It is very old tradition. You know that as someone who has a history interconnected to Chinese empires.. there is a reason wrinkles are looked down on and avoided like the plague.
Some people are moving away from those standards though and learning to accept aging as natural, and beauty as variant.
I always associated it with rich people or people who have jobs that require them to look very representable. You can make yourself look clean, neat, decently dressed for budget prices but for truly elegant look you need to air your wallet a bit more. That's at least my opinion.
