Animalistic Fervor

I took a moment and observed two friends of mine hunting the opposite sex in a bar downtown. Both of them armed head to toe with all needed to capture an unsuspecting lady, well at least I was rooting for them. I immediately was transported to a national geographic film observing lions stocking zebras in the African bush. It's interesting to compare animal instinct to human attraction. How different are we when it is broken down to the simplest form?

Watching my comrades was very entertaining and quite the spectacle to see unfold in front of me. They strutted toward their perspective targets puffing their chests, pea-cocking like wild turkeys trying to impress their mate. The girls greeted these wild ground foul with reluctant smiles and less than inviting body language, but this did not detour my friends from their score. I found the girls response interesting not because it was unexpected but because it was a response i've seen many times when men approach women. It is almost a natural reaction like these woman are protecting their unborn young. Which brings us back to the question how different are we from any other animals seeking a mate?
