Why does everyone say it was easier looks-wise in 2013?

For example, Elliot Rodger was 5'8", and everyone said he could have just worn suspenders because that wasn't a big deal in 2013. And they say even MTNs could slay back then. But BP claims that beauty standards have remained unchanged throughout history. What the hell?

Hypergamy due to media influence

Because they were kids and weren't socially competent enough to understand the impact of their looks
Or, because they are now oldcels, and obviously it's easier to make friends as an 18 year old ltn loser than a 30 year old ltn loser

BP is stronger now than in 2013 but there were still a bunch of incel communities, people exaggerate it's increase

It always seemed crazy to me that society could influence standards
