This reminds me of a funny bit from Hesiod Work and days 375 that a classicist friend shared with me way back:

"Do not be deceived by a woman who decorates her buttocks, coaxing you with wily words - she is after your granary."

("Decorates her buttocks" means dressing to accentuate the rear)

Or to paraphrase it as my friend did:

"Don't get taken in by a thick girl, even if she has good chat - she'll dine and dash on your dumb ass."
