AMATIVENESS. 85
rather tame in love and marriage, and can live tolerably com-
fortable without loving or being beloved, ete.
MODERATE.—Will be rather deficient; though not palpably
so, in the love element, and averse to the other sex; and love
their mental excellences more than personal charms; show.
little desire to caress or be caressed; and find it difficult to
sympathize with a conjugal partner, unless the natural har-
mony between both is well-nigh perfect ; care less for marriage,
and can live unmarried without inconvenicnce; with Con-
jugality large, can love but once, and should marry only the
first love, because the love-principle will not be sufficiently
strong to overcome the difficulties incident to its transfor, or
the want of congeniality, and find more pleasure in othor
things than in the matrimonial relations; with an excitable
temperament, will experience greater warmth and ardor than
depth and uniformity of love; with Ideality large and organic
quality 6, are fastidious and over-modest, and terribly shocked
by allusions to love; pronounce love a silly farce, only fit
for crack-brained poets; with Approbativeness large, will
soon become alienated by rebukes and fault-finding; with
Adhesiveness and the moral and intellectual faculties large,
can become strongly attached to those who are highly moral
and intellectual, yet experience no affinity for any other, and
to be happy in marriage, must base it in the higher faculties.
SMALL.—Dislike the opposite sex, and distrust and refuse
to assimilate with them; feel little sexual love, or desire to
marry; are cold, coy, distant, and reserved toward the other
seX; experience but little of the beautifying and elevating
influence of love, and should not marry, because incapable
of appreciating its relations, and making a companion happy.
VERY SMALML.—Are passively continent, and almost des-
titute of love.
TO CULTIVATE.—Mingle much in the society of the other
sex; observe and appreciate their excellences, and overlook
their faults; be as gallant, as gentlemanly or lady-like, as
inviting, as prepossessing, as lively and entertaining in their
society as you know how to be, and always on the alert to
please them; say as many complimentary and pretty things,
and as few. disagreeable things, as possible; that is, feel and
