A Man
“Mendicants, when a man has five factors he is extremely undesirable to a lady.
What five?
He’s not attractive, wealthy, or ethical; he’s idle, and he doesn’t beget children.
When a man has these five factors he is extremely undesirable to a lady.
When a man has five factors he is extremely desirable to a lady.
What five?
He’s attractive, wealthy, and ethical; he’s deft and tireless, and he begets children.
When a man has these five factors he is extremely desirable to a lady.”
