Okay, works for me.
There’s also a reason why condors are nearly extinct.
Yeah, people destroying their environment and leaving shit behind on their feeding grounds that are unedible, which then leads to poisoning their young because the mommy-condor feeds that shit to her offspring, not knowing it’s gonna kill her offspring.
That, and the fact that they’re shit at reproducing fast enough (and apparently tend to commit suicide when their partner dies).
Well, then. It’s time to get the fuck out of the andes so they can reproduce fast enough to keep up with all the shit humans are doing to their living place.
Apparently condors don’t commit suicide (or at least it’s not proven yet). The condor suicide is an Indian myth (not the country India). They apparently worshipped the condors, and they thought the birds were capable of living forever, but that it could make the decision of ending its life if there was any reason to.
So far, research has shown no evidence of condors committing suicide and that the Indians probably believed they did because the elders/gurus saw weakened birds fall down from the sky.
So your point was moot anyway. Condors don’t commit over a dead mate. They probably feed on its carcass and vomit in its neighbors mailbox.
Damn my inability to read articles completely through!
hai there (i can put on my glasses if you want) 
oh wait, you’re taken and you live on the other side of the channel
Nope. She’s overweight, has no self respect, nor esteem. You were saying?
Oh, I’m sorry to tell you this, but any overweight girl tends to think every parter they have who’s not overweight is hot. That said, you might still be hot.
Or…are you being sarcastic?
Nope, I was not being sarcastic. She was really overweight. I still loved her, because of her angelface. I am truly a face-lover. Her body weight didn’t matter to me.
Her observation of “other girls checking me out” could easily have been a delusion on account of her low self esteem, resulting in paranoid jealousy.
That said - odds are I am really as ugly as I feel. But even if not - the mere fact that I feel ugly makes me ugly enough for others to find me ugly, which results in me feeling ugly. And Elton John sings: “It’s the ciiiircle of life…”
I was saying you are fucked :3
Overweight girls might still be very hot, depending on how much “over” they are. And you are still probably more good looking than you make yourself think.
I can’t help but be afraid at what you will tell me if I enquire as to your understanding or personal opinion of homosexual / celibate relationships?
Also I disagree that its “no different” between species, as brains differ between the species and humans are obviously more complex than penguins, pigeons and turtles. Although you could draw similiarities, there are huge differences between why two penguins love each other and as to why two human beings love each other.
Meh. Maybe I’m just playing with semantics here but I don’t think its a cultural feature. I think that a homologous relationship is useful for the mental stability of the person (or persons). Whereas in polygomous relationships in cultures where this is more accepted I feel your explanation is more worthy.
Getting back on topic, I feel that human beings as highly-intelligent sentient creatures have a complex ‘mating ritual’, if you must class it that way. Containing an unconcious biological factor, attraction and chemicals, but also a learnt and neurological element of arousal, visual preferences for a mate ect. But I’d have to disagree that its the same, thats just making things too simplistic, hope I haven’t missed the point here :X
I’d just finally like to add to the discussion that: as human beings diversify and start to become more individualistic we find that gender is not as binary as originally thought, my personal opinion that it is a continium, there is a pre-assigned sex at conception, creating an XX, XY, (hopefully) or XO, XXY or any other combination of genetic malfunctions. Even a perfectly healthy XY child can be born as a female (or vise versa) depending on hormone influences during foetal development. My opinion is that, in light of these discoveries we should be more open to peoples personalities and relationships.
Ps: Isn’t this thread supposed to be for people asking advice?
Oh, don’t mind him. He’s our pessimistic garden gnome.
haha, shit, there goes my chance
but weren’t you the one in a relationship with soup?
I considered pretending to hit on you, but
(A) That’s not cool, and
(B) For all I know, you’re sixteen or something and that’s gross
As my father used to be a fancier (you know, a guy who keeps pigeons ), it was quite common for male and female pigeons to try and mate with other pigeons of the same gender as there weren’t enough males/females to go around by. My guess would be that it’s some sort of chemical in the brain that kicks in and tells the pigeons to just attempt to mate with anything of the same species. Some sort of last minute survival-kit. Those couples also stayed together forever.
And don’t tell me you’ve never seen a male dog humping another male dog.
Yes, the difference is culture. “Love” as we define it today hasn’t been around forever. merely a century ago people were still getting together with the sole purpose of reproduction with or without the ideal mate. Love had nothing to do with it. Money, wealth, power, strength, intellect, those were the defining factors of relationships between humans.
And as you pointed out; different cultures have different views on relationships. Each culture has its own take on “love”. Why is that? If love wasn’t solely a cultural feature, and purely an actual human emotion, then why are there so many cultures that don’t have the same “love” as you or I know?
Bolteh, 2 things:
First of all: Garden Gnomes are not supposed to speak. Cut it out.
Second of all: You’re ruining love. GTFO!
And you still owe this forum a picture. Get on with it.
I don’t “owe” you guys a pic. I post a pic when I want to. Not when you want me to.
