From history text book lol

Castiglione’s ideal differend for men and women. The ideal man, he wrote, is athletic but now overactive. He is good at games, but not a gambler. He plays a musical instrument and knows literature and history but is not arrogant. The idea woman offers a balance to men. She is graceful and kind, lively but reserved. She is beautiful, “for outer beauty,” wrote Castiglione, “is the true sign of inner goodness.”
