I have a belief that women will soon take to 70s hair: extremely long and straight.
"Fat" is pretty accurate, though we'll see how it goes with Ozempic and the normalization of plastic surgery killing the body positivity movement, the trans population remains microscopic, and while the inevitable future of the US is a 50% mestizo population, it'll be Danny Gonzalez-mestizo.

If you read old-timey literature, you'll find that ancient and pre-modern people had deeply strange attitudes and reactions, but most of them are just unrecorded.
