It is common knowledge that more alcohol is consumed during this time and I think it might explain this perception...
On a more serious note, I dont think there is such as thing as ugly, there is only preference. Sometimes it is biased due to peer pressure etc but only an indivdual knows what they truly find attractive or not.edit on 30-12-2010 by XXXN3O because: (no reason given)

Have you noticed that the new born no longer have big ears , big noses, skin imperfections, ect in the numbers that the baby boomers witnessed?
Check the frames and faces of the new generation...they are becoming more" Hollywood beautiful"?
Where are the ugly people going?

I've seen plenty of physically ugly young people. Or just plain ordinary looking. I don't think there's any pro beauty conspiracy here.

I'll buy that we tend to be evolving in an aesthetic sense, and that younger humans tend to be a bit prettier than I remember us (myself and my contemporaries) being.
But, having said that, honestly I have seen some god awful, Gollum looking chud babies over the last few years. And, related, why is it that the mothers of the ugly ones are always the ones with 200 pictures of their kid, and who keep asking "Isn't he/she just adorable???". It's like they know and they just want someone else to validate their suspicions so that they can finally say "Oh, thank God, I thought it was just me who was freaked out by the little Gandhi looking beast!"

Heff, I admire the honesty of your post. I had to giggle after reading it. You are exactly correct in regards to the mother showing off 200 pictures and needing validation. Excellent observation my friend! Tell it like it is .....
