“Bhikkhū, when a man has five factors he is extremely undesirable to a female.
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato puriso ekantaamanāpo hoti mātugāmassa.
What five?
Katamehi pañcahi?
He’s not attractive, wealthy, or ethical; he’s idle, and he doesn’t beget children.
Na ca rūpavā hoti, na ca bhogavā hoti, na ca sīlavā hoti, alaso ca hoti, pajañcassa na labhati—
When a man has these five factors he is extremely undesirable to a female.
imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi aṅgehi samannāgato puriso ekantaamanāpo hoti mātugāmassa.
