The best example of this not being the case is found in renaissance art. Beautiful women were depicted as chubby by our standards because extra weight meant being wealthy. This standard changed during the Reformation when gluttony started being seen as a sin and a sign of depravity of the Catholic church. From then on, the standard of female beauty shifted towards thinness.
It doesn’t matter. We’re talking about the possibility of a woman existing that had 100 different men who thought they could defeat her in a wrestling match, wagering up a thousand horses each. A challenge that spanned over years. As her reputation if defeating all these dudes would spread and be known, after the first ten or twenty guys were defeated, the only challengers (if they were actually intending to win) would have been almost nothing but large and strong guys experienced in wrestling.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe she had a bodybuilder build, and those Mongols thought that was hot af.
Or maybe she was butt ass ugly but everyone liked keeping their heads rather than insult a princess.
It’s a trap to think 1) there’s just one standard of beauty and 2) one objective standard spans all centuries.

There just isn’t any way that would happen.
Those goalposts far enough back for ya, or do you wanna keep movin’ 'em?
You’re the one who tried changing the argument off of my original post, bro.
You’re the one taking this waaay too seriously, my guy.
