You can definitely find men who flirt like all four of these examples.
I mean, the flaunting of sexual organs as an attempt to show fitness for mating isn’t exactly unlike those things
All four in one?
They also literally scream all day at the top of their lungs, “WANNA FUCK??”
Who Men or Birds? I mean that applies to both. If we are doing this whole sweeping generalization thing.
But seriously majority of Men aren’t jerks. Just a surprising number of men who go around hitting/trying to get laid all the time are.
Haha yeah it is applicable to both sometimes. And agreed, it’s the assholes that scream the loudest and make the normal people look bad.
My wife and I still laugh about this one time, when we were dating in college more than 20 years ago, we were rudely awakened by some pitiful sap wailing out his window, “anyone wanna hump? C’mon, anyone? Wanna hump?” He just sounded so despondent. No pity from me though.
It’s just a cacophony of male birds literally shouting it over each other all day from sunrise to sunset.
Nature is so beautiful 😍
Okay but seriously giving shiny rocks to girls works pretty well. Not like jewelry or gemstones, literally just nice rocks.
Have you ever just sat and admired a well-tumbled stone? They’re pretty to look at.
Bonus, if your person is the right type of crafty, they can turn those nice rocks into jewelry! I have a couple pieces my wife has made because they were just interesting stones she’s found she thought I’d like.
Men, on the other hand, can be impressed by the gift of a good stick.
Well I mean… Not exactly limited to girls. Who doesn’t like a nice shiny rock? Nobody, that’s who. Show me one person who claims to not have at least one good rock somewhere in their house. Can’t do it can yeh? Didn’t think so.
I got a rock last weekend that I’m still pumped about. I’m letting it just sit on top of my coffee table.
Edit: rock
God damn. Nice rock.
What an immaculate specimen
Good rock
Sweet rock!
One of my exes gave me a pebble, and said something about penguins giving a partner a pebble and they keep it for life. Pretty sure I lost it after a couple of weeks, and found a similar looking one and she never caught on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My wife is big time into labradorite. It’s cool as hell, when it catches the light you can see gleams of blue or orange amongst the green. I actually recently got her a labradorite engagement ring and wedding band to replace the cheap, simple silicone ring she wears because of her job that she’ll be leaving in the near future.
Yeah, but in fairness… I’ll bet female birds don’t make sweeping generalizations of an entire gender based on a few examples.
And they’re really just looking for good genes and not all the other stuff tied to what’s perceived as a successful human relationship.
Women ☕
Always complaining about the problems they face and find relatable, smh they just can’t stop victimizing men
You know… People can just suck without having it being a gendered thing.
I’ve never been married, so I have a lot of experience in the dating scene. Never once has a woman I barely knew sent me a picture of her vagina unsolicited and expected me to sleep with her immediately.
I’ve never met anyone with leukemia. I guess that doesn’t exist as well.
The point is- blanket statements about anything, be it race, gender, etc…. Is fucking ignorant. Period.
I’m sure those women exist. They’re rare enough that it barely ever comes up. On the other hand, every woman has a dick pic story. Usually several. How common does something have to be before it becomes fair to generalize? It seems like this is super common.
It’s easy. It just takes 1 out of 100 men to send their dick pic to 300 women for them to have received dick pics from several men.
My girlfriend of 16 years can safely say it’s never happened.
So there goes your entire argument.
You’re making blanket statements. Please refer to my above comment on why you should avoid doing this.
You’re making blanket statements
No, I’m providing anecdotal evidence to support a hypothesis that the phonomenon is common enough that generalizing is fair
Please refer to my above comment on why you should avoid doing this.
Please stop pretending to be an authority. Your opinion is not law, this is a discussion between peers. Eat me.
Tbh most real birds probably act like the last one.
Ducks don’t even ask. They just rape. Most birds don’t have a penis, but ducks do. It’s for raping.
Which is fairly common in the animal kingdom. The reproductive organs of many animals are designed around this, with the females having vaginas mean to prevent it, and the males having penises meant to specifically copulate with those unique vaginas, often times having spines to give their specific offspring better odds or trigger ovulation despite the pain it causes.
The reason human penises have a head on them is to rake out rival sperm. It’s the same reason why a man’s libido crashes hard after he orgasms, so he doesn’t rake out his own sperm.
Something tells me that didn’t work out as nature planned considering the amount of dudes who would be immediately grossed out at that prospect.
I mean, selective pressure doesn’t have to be perfect to influence evolution, and factors that directly influence reproductive success have a high potency. You don’t have to know you’re getting sloppy seconds to gain an advantage from having a shovel-dick. If there’s little-to-no disadvantage, dudes with dicks that clean out vaginas will do better than those that don’t.
A close-relative example: gorillas have tiny dicks and relatively weak sperm because there’s very little competition for mating. The silverback gets all the chicks and that’s that. There’s no competition inside the vagina, so they don’t have any tools that would help. Humans don’t have the same kind of iron trap on sexual pairing, so we have some amount of sexual warfare, so to speak.
Somewhat related, but female chimps make sure to hook up with multiple males, so that none of them can be totally sure if the kid is theirs or not. A male looking to mate with a mother who knew the kid wasn’t his is liable to try and kill it, so promiscuity saves lives. When the ladies are looking to hook up with lower-ranking guys, they’re a bit sneaky about it too. Presumably the higher ranking guys wouldn’t be too happy about that.
Anyway, nature be doing stuff.
Lemme smash.
No, Ron. Go find Becky.
You wan… sum fuk?
Pssh, this is completely untrue. The last time I impaled a bunch of small people and animals on a giant thorn, I didn’t any attention. Well some, but the only from the police.
Building a beautiful house is slightly more involved than weaving together some sticks and twigs that you found.
Not if you don’t have hands
There’s obvious limitations, but some birds make much better nests than others. The rufous hornero is probably the best bird in that category, they make nests out of clay.
Pigeon nests are even shittier than that. They literally put some twigs down and call it a day. Honestly it’s a wonder how they even survive. Google for ‘pigeon nest’ for a good laugh, they’re just so terrible at it, like imagine a person giving bits of wood as a house.
Well, when clubbing I’ve often seen guys use the same mating strategy as street pidgeons.
Puffing their chest, wiggling their heads and weirdly “dancing” while rotating in place?
Bottom left is just actual neurodivergent flirting
It’s also how it works in Stardew Valley
Imagine how thrilled I was when I realized my crush likes to eat a common sort of rock I had like 30 of
…eat? Oh, is that Abigail’s liked gift dialogue?
Yep. He didn’t fix it in the new update. It’s become a meme so it’s canon now.
Not all birds
Definitely not ducks.
My name is Duck and I’m here to fuck.
I’m a drake, you made a mistake.
This guy ducks
Fuzzy duck, ducky fuzz. Does he fuck? Fuck he does!
I’d be a Canada Goose
Hey baby wanna … HOOOOOONNNKKKK!!! …
I’ve only properly been a woman for like, 5 years now, but I’ve honestly only had one dude ever attempt the fourth panel. Most dudes who try to flirt with me do it by talking about their interests and relentlessly complimenting me every time I know something about it or have something to add. That said, it does work on me.
I wish men and or women flirted like birds 😔
Honestly our species sucks
Our species’ talent is speech, and that’s what we use to flirt. That seems natural to me.
Eh I hate small talk. I’d much rather someone made me a diy gift. Doesn’t haven’t to be big but the time spent on it would communicate alot of affection to me 🤷
You say that, but it would only be charming from someone you’ve already been flirting with. The whole point of flirting is testing the waters with some amount of deniability so that it’s low-pressure on all sides. You keep toeing the line back and forth until you’re both really sure you’re super into each other. A DIY gift as a token of affection is a jump from the high dive, and goes a lot better when you’ve checked the pool is full.
If you don’t continue to flirt with your partner after you’re already together I feel sad for them. You should continue to flirt stranger. I would agree though, don’t buy a house for someone you don’t know lol. But here’s a better example for you those girl. I’m talking to you off dating app. You told me her favorite animal is a flying wolf. That’s kind of silly. 3D printed one. I’ll bring it to our date next week. If you think I’m not getting extra brownie points for that, you’re silly.
For sure for sure. Context matters. I’m currently making a patch for my girl. But, you know, I’m super sure she’s into me, for a whole pile of reasons. :P
Hell yeah dude that’s awesome 👈😎
Sounds like that would make it harder to meet people but easier to know when you’ve found a compatible match
We use to when we had free time. All work and no play makes you a dull boy.
So you want a gay sugar daddy basically.
I mean I’d like a sugar mommy but yeah basically 👈😎
But it’s the males who court
Speak for yourself men and women flirt and court with me 🤷
Hell nah. If we flirted like birds of paradise, it would be a very one sided relationship.
How’s that?
Males do all the flirting, and nothing for the offspring. Females do all the childrearing, and don’t flirt at all.
Ooooh you’re saying birds are one sided. Yeah I agree that would suck. I mean I wish human men and human women were better at flirting.
