I started this thread after watching a National Geographic show that filmed birds mating and it was the male that had the colorful feathers and danced in circles to impress the females. Looking a little further I discovered that it was the male’s who tried to “impress” the females in most animal species except the human one. In the human mating game, it’s the female that fluffs her hair and colors her face to get some attention.
The role is reversed and I wondered why.
Then the tie thing came along
In many animal species the female has to remain hidden. In birds the female sits on the eggs. Flashy colors on the female would doom the species. In humans, that is not the case.
As for human males trying to impress females, go to a bar near closing time. It is as accurate at NatGeo.
