Ancient Greek beauty standards. #history

[Finn-ygrt]

Best compliment I’ve ever received is that my body could be a Greek statue

[annastamatelou]

I'm a Greek woman with all these features except the unibrow. Plucked it to oblivion back in the 90s.

Could you imagine if an Irish woman showed up in Ancient Greece, With her pale skin, freckles and vibrant red hair, she’d be worshipped like a goddess

[itss_anggg]

And this ladies, is why beauty “standards” don’t. MATTER! The “ideal” body type or “style” WILL NOT MATTER IN 10 YEARS! U are beautiful! 🫶✨💖

[yuzhong]

I feel so enlightened every day with this channel 😭

[courtnie]

As a curvy, very very pale red head I feel so special rn 🥹

[swamp-nymph]

As a pale fat redhead I am devastatingly misplaced in time and space



Edit: wow some of yall REAL opinionated about the proper definition and use of the word 'fat' and feel like u need to correct me. listen kids, "Pale fat redhead" rolled off the tongue easier than "slightly plump and curvy pale redhead", its really that simple lmfao. no thought behind it, didnt mean to glorify obesity and make u cry. Don't u know salt, stress and being unkind to strangers is terrible for your health?? Way worse than being a lil fat too. Choose kindness and chill out yall... And laugh every once in a while, a little levity is okay. Love, a pale fat redhead 🫡💕

I was a bit insecure of my body, but knowing I could be called beautiful in Ancient Greek is actually such a compliment ❤

[Nadhif_Altafy]

Ancient Greeks: Redheads are beautiful
Roman Citizens: You sure?

[totesanon]

The first one just made me feel SO MUCH BETTER about myself 🙂

[The_Living_]

I am pasty pale and I have a plump body and this made me so happy, this is one of the reasons I love Ancient Greece

[LynnMosher-zp]

Her body is more realistic. We’re not supposed to be without any fat at all. It’s unhealthy. Women were designed to retain some fat for lean times so we can keep babies alive as well as ourselves.

This makes me less insecure about my body. Thank you!

[evalucas]

I love how the Greek beauty standards are doable (maybe not the pale skin, but they’re not asking for super thin or perfect face and all)

[LemoniQueen]

as a curvy redhead, with a slight unibrow, that is VERY pale, excuse me while i build my time machine back to Ancient Greece- 😭

edit: okay so based on the comments, i now have like 15 people coming with me so i better hurry up and get this time machine built 😭

[JenniferTraugott]

I am a Greek woman without the unibrow and redhair. At 5'11"and 135 pounds, I am 72, a grand mother and so blessed with the love of my husband and family😊🎉❤

[Erisxnii]

The first one made me feel a whole lot better:)

[Jujuonthatbeat]

This made me feel better about being slim

[maegaming]

Her: *describes the complete opposite of me*

[ModernMedusa]

Every time I look in the mirror and see my belly isn't totally flat, I think of renaissance paintings and feel proud 😁
