Individuals seeking in the love union, not merely a passing
gratification of their erotism, but a lifelong arrangement, gratifying
both the physical and the mental aspects of the organism, should be
trained to recognise the presence or absence of characteristics which
would make such an arrangement a lasting pleasure or a lasting torture.
For instance, the woman who falls in love with a man because her
fetishism requires a short, round, plump, man, with a good head of
hair but hairless limbs, must not expect him to ever grow into a
fighter, a good provider or even a companion of placid moods.
A man of that type is capricious, unstable, unresisting, and prefers
the gentler arts to any form of competitive struggle.
Likewise a man who picks out a woman for his mate because she has
pretty, doll-like features, is "cute" and slight, has a soft skin,
white and pink, must not expect to live peacefully with her on a farm,
or even on Main Street or in a distant suburb.
That type of woman grows easily emotional, is constantly in search of
new excitement and new pleasures. It is only at forty that she will
become more settled (and rotund), retaining, however, a certain jollity
of disposition.
=The Olive Skinned Dark Haired Type=, and the freckled, red haired
are very much alike. Both have a low forehead, hair is plentiful all
over the body, thick and coarse. Their canines are long and sharp.
Men and women of that type are good fighters, more easily angered
than scared; they are generally successful, with a tendency to
slave-driving. In the face of great difficulties, of painful
disappointment, however, they are prone to turn embittered and cranky.
People of this type who show large birth marks are likely to be
imbalanced and irritable. They may at times give the impression of
being weak and lazy, altho their minds may be extremely active.
=The Tall Type=, with strong frame, firm muscles, generous hands and
feet, a thick skin, oval face, head flattened at the sides, thick
eyebrows, prominent eyes, placed rather wide apart, large nose, square
chin, large upper middle incisors, heavy joints, hairy legs and arms,
is characterised by intelligence and self-control. At times that type
has a tendency to be a little calculating if not sordid.
=The Lean Type= with clean-cut features, thick hair, thick, long
eyebrows, big, keen eyes, sometimes slightly protruding, well developed
white teeth and a very masculine or very feminine mouth, according
to sex, is active, restless, a live wire, emotional and likely to be
easily prostrated by an unexpected defeat. Men and women of that type
have a tendency to be sleepless and to do too much planning at night
instead of resting peacefully.
=The Short, Obese, Sallow Type=, with a high forehead, scanty eyebrows,
deep set, narrow eyes, irregular teeth that decay early, with poor
circulation, cold and blue hands and feet, is rather "animal" and lacks
self-control.
