A Female
“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो मातुगामो एकन्तअमनापो होति पुरिसस्स। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? न च रूपवा होति, न च भोगवा होति, न च सीलवा होति, अलसो च होति, पजञ्चस्स न लभति—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो मातुगामो एकन्तअमनापो होति पुरिसस्स।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato mātugāmo ekantaamanāpo hoti purisassa. Katamehi pañcahi? Na ca rūpavā hoti, na ca bhogavā hoti, na ca sīlavā hoti, alaso ca hoti, pajañcassa na labhati—imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi aṅgehi samannāgato mātugāmo ekantaamanāpo hoti purisassa.
“Bhikkhus, when a female has five factors she is extremely undesirable to a man. What five? She’s not attractive, wealthy, or ethical; she’s idle, and she doesn’t beget children. When a female has these five factors she is extremely undesirable to a man.

When a female has five factors she is extremely desirable to a man. What five? She’s attractive, wealthy, and ethical; she’s deft and tireless, and she begets children. When a female has these five factors she is extremely desirable to a man.”
