No wonder the girls run.<br />A little finesse might help them, but they just don't get it. ha<br />Of course in nature, the aggressive male IS the one that gets the female, so maybe we do resemble the animals?The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-43506508886937416792009-10-13T09:11:08.197-05:002009-10-13T09:11:08.197-05:00Only you would think like that Ratty!!

I think male ducks probably show off a bit too, trying to get the female's attention. That's nature!! You are right on about those construction workers. I know. I used hang with a bunch of them years ago. My ex was one..Ha!Ginnymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865222893888430709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-41167265568044178372009-10-13T09:11:07.760-05:002009-10-13T09:11:07.760-05:00Oh I think you are totally correct on this point. ...Oh I think you are totally correct on this point.
