Types of women..

[barbarossa]

According to an ancient Greek lyric poet by the name of Simonides of Ceos, In the beginning God made the souls of womenkind out of different materials, and in a separate state from their bodies.

The souls of one kind of Women were formed out those ingredients which compose of a Swine. A Woman of this Make is a Slut in her house and a Glutton at her table. She is uncleanly in her person, a Slattern in her Dress, and her family is no better than a Dunghill.

A Second sort of Female Soul was formed out of the same materials that enter into the Composition of a Fox. Such an one is what we call a notable discerning woman, who has insight into everything, whether be it good or bad. In this Species of Females there are Some Virtuous and some Vicious.

A third kind of Women were made up of Canine particles. These are what we commonly call Scolds, who imitate the Animals of which they were taken, that are always busy and barking, that snarl at every one who comes in their way, and in perpetual Clamor.

The Fourth kind of Women were made out of Earth. These are your Sluggards, who pass away their Time in Indolence and Ignorance, hover over the Fire a whole Winter, and apply themselves with Alacrity to no kind of business but Eating.

The Fifth Species of Females were made out of Sea. These are Women of variable uneven Tempers, sometimes all Storm and Tempest, sometimes all Calm and Sunshine. The Stranger who sees one of these in her Smiles and Smoothness would cry her up for a Miracle of good Humor; but on a sudden her Looks and her Words are changed, she is nothing but Fury and Outrage, Noise and Hurricane.

The Sixth Species were made up of the ingredients of an Ass, or a Beast of Burden. These are naturally exceedingly slothful, but upon husband's exerting his Authority, will live upon hard Fare, and do everything to please him. They however far from being averse to Venereal Pleasure, and seldom refuse a Male Companion.

The Cat furnished the material for the Seventy species of Women, who are of melancholy, froward, unamiable Nature, and so repugnant to the offers of Love, the they fly in the Face of their husband when he approaches them with conjugal Endearments. These Species of women are likewise subject to little Thefts, Cheats and Pilferings.

The Mare with flowing Mane, which was never broke to any servile Toil and Labour, composed an Eight Species of Women. These are they who have little regard for their Husbands, who pass away their Time in Dressing, Bathing, and Perfuming; who throw their Hair into the nicest Curls, and trick it up with the fairest Flowers and Garlands. A Woman of this Species is a very pretty thing for a stranger to look upon, but very detrimental to the Owner, unless it be a King or Prince who takes a Fancy to such a Toy.

The Ninth Species of Females were take out of the Ape. These are such as are both ugly and ill-natured, who have nothing beautiful in themselves, and endeavour to detract from or ridicule everything which appears so in others.

The Tenth and last Species of Women were made out of Bee; and happy is the man who gets such a one for his Wife. She is altogether faultless and unblamable; her Famliy flourishes and improves by her good Management. She loves her Husband, and is beloved by him. She brings him a Race of beautiful and virtuous Children. She distinguishes herself among her Sex. She is surrounded with Graces. She never sits among the loose tribe of Women, nor passes away her Time with them in wanton Discourses. She is full of Virtue and Prudence, and is the best Wife that God can bestow on Man.

Interesting to read but the ninth and tenth species seem like two extremes and unrealistic.

Indeed, the Tenth specie is the rarest them of all. He who is favored by God to have the Jewel of Womankind as his consort, should consider himself the luckiest man alive.

I could give you a breakdown of when each of those apply to a woman, the same woman, but all you should know is the perfect woman is a matter of personal taste and the combination of the first 9 that hits your spot is what makes your personal tenth

[STARKAST]

Only two types the ones worth marrying and the others that aren't.
