So I read a little on beauty in Ancient Greece for some reason considering I wasn’t too happy with my appearance (I sometimes do that lmao). And to my surprise I found out that most of the stuff I have was considered overly attractive back in Ancient Greece! I have red curly hair, a kind of short tongue, blue eyes (not exactly blue, I do have hazel eyes tho, so a mix of blue, gray, and a little bit of brown), not sure if this is right but I do believe someone said pale skin was also considered good? and I’m rather pale, but I get a good tan when summer comes around the corner lmao. Is there other Beaty standards they had on men which made them more attractive? And was 6’2 or generally tallness attractive back then?
Interesting question!
As u/Spencer_A_McDaniel writes here, tallness was associated with the gods and from the numbers she cites further down your height would be rather over the average at the time. Spencer's answer focuses on Greek women but there is some evidence for this in males too: the first that came to mind was the rustic philosopher "Agathion", who was described as very tall and strong, resembling Heracles (Philostratus, Lives of the Sophists 2.1, 552-554)
On the other hand paleness was not considered very good in men. Well, it was appropriate to an effeminate kind of beauty but having tanned or dark skin was associated with manliness, health, toughness and leisure activities for the elite. This has been discussed by u/Iphikrates in this comment and mentioned in part 2 of this thread by u/Pami_the_Younger.
Later I could try to find references to beauty standards concerning hair and eye colour. I did also find some discussions on the more sexual side of these standards, if you are interested
