What is seen as attractive for males is generally a muscular, but lean demeanor. Strong forearms and a sculpted abdomen is especially seen as attractive. Beards are usually worn by adult men, unless they are politicians or in the military. What is seen as attractive for females is generally a pear-shaped body: a relatively larger rear, thicker thighs, and a moderate or smaller bosom. A pendulous and large pair of breasts is seen as obstructive, since Roman women are about as physically active as men.
