Back to the original question: Since Judy so graciously entered the contents of the "24", let me give you my opinions on their "appropiateness" for men and/or women:
Per la gloria d'adorarvi male preferred Amarilli, mia bella male preferred Alma del core either Come ragggio di sol either Sebben crudele either Vittoria, mio core either Danza, danza fanciulla gentile male preferred Vergin, totto amore either (but I like it for women) Caro mio ben either O del mio dolce ardor either (but I prefer it for men) Che fiero costume preferred for male Pur dicesti, o bocca bella preferred for female Il mio bel foco either Non posso disperar either Laciatemi morire for women (Known also as "Lamento d'Arianna") Nel cor piu non mi sento either (but I prefer for women) Se tu mami, se sospiri for women only! Nina for men Gia il sole dal Gange preferred for men Le Violette preferred for women (although originally a male character!) Se Florindo e fedele preferred for women (although originally a male character!) Pieta Signore either (but I prefer for male) Tu lo sai either
In some cases these are my opinions only. In other cases, they are my observations of the way these pieces have been assigned over the years.
