Human mating ritual is weird

No other species talk before mating, they just show up. That's it!

Also weird: 1) The act of strokin' it hasn't been eliminated by natural selection 2) Mating takes like 10 minutes. Temporally inefficient!

Actually no. It gives females the opportunity to collect an Alpha seed and let the Beta take care of the offspring. Very efficient IMO.

At least we don't have to do all that dancing that birds of paradise do. Or get our head bitten off by mama spider after ej aculating. It could always be worse.

The fact that human babies have a long helpless infancy makes talking before mating an evolutionarily smart move, more likely to mate with a good coparent who can help with raising the infant if you talk to them first rather than fucking anything that moves

You are overthinking this and looking at it from a 21st century perspective. Consent, nuclear families etc. evolution take long time and our current arrangement is a very short time, and if it influenced anything on evolutionary path we won’t see it right away Someone commented alpha giving seed beta raising kid makes more sense before regressive concepts of marriage was imposed. In our pre civilized time that exactly how it worked granddpaa chads planted seed no judgement and raising is done by the village

I think the concept of a caring coparent is very old, not necessarily as a nuclear family but as a responsible member of a community vs an irresponsible one. Rape aside, mating with someone who has good qualities rather than bad ones is a smart move and since humans are complex and their good qualities that improve survival can’t necessarily be ascertained with one glance, talking to the potential mate is a good way to see what they’ve got going on.

They don’t talk but they sniff ass to check compatibility. Post on your tinder that your prefer that way by using code ASSMAN

Blame patriarchy, but they only make it like this here

So nobody else is gonna mention the glaring fact that animals don’t talk in the first place?? Ever thought that might be the reason?

Some animals do talk we just don't know wtf they are saying. Whales and dolphins have advanced communication.

You can talk or you can let your muscles do the talking Get fuck out, it’s a clear sunny snowy day, lift some weights

Some animals use smooth dance moves, I think that is weird

I can but it feels more like a chore and inefficient 😂

There are places where you can just show up and have sex without talking. Try your local bathhouse or sex club.
