Literally peacocks
Or almost any species of bird
Blackbirds are pretty discrete…they invest in vocal variety instead.
Now I am wondering if there are any species of bird where the females are the fancy ones. Gotta be ONE, right? 🤔
Of course there is! It’s the…errr…the… Hmmm 🤨
If human males did this more often, maybe I would have dated a few more by now !
Hello, man with short hair, black/white t-shirt and jeans #4096. Please, do tell me about how you like food, sports and music. Blend into the background as much as possible, that’s a great dating strategy !
Does that mean I can wear green?
That is camouflage. I use it to avoid being prey for people who hunt for the flashy and extroverted types.
Fair enough ! If you have an interesting personality that works, but it’s always easier to also show it instead of just telling.
I don’t exist to impress you
And that’s perfectly fine, but it doesn’t work as a seduction strategy.
Meh. I’ll just fall back in my personality. I’m not really into women who care about aesthetics much anyway.
Everyone cares about aesthetics. “I don’t care about aesthetics” is itself an aesthetic.
Your looks are part of your personality, we’re not talking about how pretty you are here ; we’re talking about what you express with you looks.
And what a white t-shirt and jeans expresses is “I’m boring”, or more charitably “I’m normal”. People looking to date look for someone who stands out to them, without being too weird either.
Boring looks mean “I’m normal”, as you said, which is a very comforting thought for many women. Not everyone is into something extravagant. Many people feel like going for the classics is the safer option. Someone can stand out for you without standing out in the crowd.
Decent folks usually back seat aesthetics to personality anyway.
The meme is still funny. I hobby bird watch, and it’s very true in the bird world. The male birds are colored brightly if they have good nutrition, they are healthy, so the females mate with them. The female birds are boring so they blend into the environment, so they hide better from prey as they do the egg hatching thing.
I went on a first bar date with a fella once, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind he reminded me of a cocky rooster, so boisterous. Too much personality for me, I chose not to go out with him again. A lid for every pot.
The fact it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work in general.
Ironically, human males do that to impress other males.
Examples:
I just want to see that truck get hit by a dump truck. Please, if there are any gods out there, make it happen.
People are interesting, “average” is a misleading concept, you can find quirks and intriguing oddities in pretty much anyone. Perhaps you’re frequenting the wrong circles in regards to what interests you.
I know that. The problem is that so many men have a “protective layer” you have to pry open to get to know who they really are underneath, and that’s exhausting.
Extroverted showy types are also not showing you who they are underneath.
i just do not wish to be perceived
Well you need to be precieved to meet people.
Who says they want to meet people. Also, not everyone wants to attract attention every day all day long. It’s a good strategy for many people to be anonymous most of the time. And those who are into extroverted effect can shine.
Uh they did
Lime! did? Where? I must have missed that.
that’s not fair
Tough shit
I am disappointed. Where are memes #1, 2, 3 and 4?
They were pulled down for being reposts.
Yeah, but this is also technically a repost
oh, noooooo, i stole a meme.
