There were also differences in the aesthetic standards of different dynasties in ancient times, but in general, the ancients preferred slender and delicate women and neatly dressed men. However, why did the ancients have such a saying that "men look at fat, women look at hair"?Although ancient people generally appreciated slender women and neat men, when choosing a partner, they did not only pay attention to physical appearance, but also to inner qualities and abilities. Appearance is only a plus point in choosing a mate, while the ancients paid more attention to a person's literacy and ability.

Ancient societiesMainly engaged in manual labor, so strong men are more popular. The ancients judged whether a man was strong by the amount of hair, and they believed that a man with more hair was more powerful and able to take on family responsibilities. In addition, they also believe that men with a lot of hair are less likely to get sick and therefore reduce the burden on the family.
However, this way of judging is not absolute, but the ancients had certain limitations in cognition, and many times they used most phenomena as the basis for judgment. In ancient times, women paid more attention to the man's fat when choosing a partner. Strong men were more capable of taking care of the family and taking care of children and the elderly, and were therefore more inclined by ancient men.

Physical appearance is only temporary, and a person's qualities and abilities can affect our long-term quality of life and well-being. Therefore, when choosing a partner, we should pay more attention to a person's inner qualities and abilities, not just physical appearance and external conditions.
