You can definitely find men who flirt like all four of these examples.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 39 points 7 months ago

I mean, the flaunting of sexual organs as an attempt to show fitness for mating isn't exactly unlike those things

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

All four in one?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 84 points 7 months ago (3 children)

They also literally scream all day at the top of their lungs, "WANNA FUCK??"

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy myself at the park and there's a bunch of birds screaming at the top of their lungs about sex.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 17 points 7 months ago

Think of the poor children, we can't let this continue

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.

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.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

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

[–] Liz@midwest.social 7 points 7 months ago

God damn. Nice 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)_/¯

Tbh most real birds probably act like the last one.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 12 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Ducks don't even ask. They just rape. Most birds don't have a penis, but ducks do. It's for raping.

Lemme smash.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 30 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 28 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Building a beautiful house is slightly more involved than weaving together some sticks and twigs that you found.

[–] whereisk@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not if you don't have hands

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.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, when clubbing I've often seen guys use the same mating strategy as street pidgeons.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Puffing their chest, wiggling their heads and weirdly "dancing" while rotating in place?

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bottom left is just actual neurodivergent flirting

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's also how it works in Stardew Valley

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Imagine how thrilled I was when I realized my crush likes to eat a common sort of rock I had like 30 of

I'd be a Canada Goose

Hey baby wanna ...... HOOOOOONNNKKKK!!!! .....

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] LazyPhilosopher@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (10 children)

I wish men and or women flirted like birds 😔

Honestly our species sucks

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Our species' talent is speech, and that's what we use to flirt. That seems natural to me.

We use to when we had free time. All work and no play makes you a dull boy.

I'll take the top left bird please.

And I love how all we women have to do is just sit there and attract men. /s
