Ideals
Beauty Ideals
Their beauty ideal is very light skinned people with light hair and eyes. Some people also like more exotic looks from other continents. They usually like people that are very dark or very light (including skin, hair and eyes).
Gender Ideals
The females should support their male partner, and generally be submissive. Even when it comes to inheritage, the females can't inherit a title or position - when males can. Males should be strong and protective, as well as sensitive, understanding and intellegent.
Courtship Ideals
The nobility usually plans marriage from an early age, or they marry off their offspring to pay a debt, get on someone's good side or to increase influence. But, for those who actually court each other, it's a slow process. First of all the dominant person (usually the male) needs to win over the other person's parents. After some kind of agreement between the parents and the suitor, he can now start to invite the female on trips, balls and hunts. When he has built a relationship he can invest in presents, both to the female and her parents. This is where the female needs to make a move before he loses interest.
Relationship Ideals
The male should be the face of the family. He needs to be strong and intelligent. The female should be in his shadow, ready to help whenever she is needed. In a relationship the female is not useless in combat or negotiations, this is why all noble females are usually trained in a weapon and a subject (history, geography, medicine, religion, philosophy etc.).
