Not marked NSFW since neither nipples nor genitalia are shown. Mods, if you want me to mark it NSFW, I'll change it.

Standards are always changing and they always align with what’s hardest to obtain. In the time of Ancient Greece, having extra body fat was a luxury and a sign of wealth and status. Today it’s the opposite.

Well also I think this body type is and has always been attractive to the vast majority of people. Beauty standard are not very attainable (like you said, it's a status thing), but they aren't even what most people actually like.
