I mean attraction is very complex. Beauty standards change through the ages, so while it can be jarring to look at a old photograph, particularly one from a (presumably) very different culture to your own, it’s important to remember the amount of space and time that you are looking through.
That's what I'm saying, kind of. Like, if the young people looked like this too, it wouldn't have prevented the opposite sex from finding them attractive, since breeding kept happening.
