If You Live In NYC or LA Take Notes, In Triplicate.
Male birds sing, kamakazi dive bomb other birds, and puff up like balloons. Male giraffes stimulate, then drink female giraffes' urine to determine if they've found a worthy mate. Drone bees accept that their penises will be broken off and permanently embedded inside their queen during copulation (prevents competition). And praying mantis males are totally ok getting their head eaten (literally) after copulation.
But the most unlikely, improbable, bizarre, and unfortunate mating behavior happens between humans.
I suppose if you look at the escalating complexity of human neurology it goes to reason that humans would have more complex mating behavior. After all, both men and women who are in heat ritualistically dull their neurology when they want to simplify the mating process.
In the insect and animal Kingdom, each species has a set alpha in the male - female mating ritual. With birds, bees, and praying mantis, the female sits back picks their mate. In the Giraffe world, the male assaults their female of choice until she lets him have his way with her.
With humans, it can go either way. And it does. It goes both ways across culture, across age, and across gender many times throughout the mating ritual.
Without even touching on the bar scene -- which way a woman crosses her legs, whether a man pulls out his Amex Black Card, who leans in closer over the loud music, whether phone numbers are exchanged or biological fluids are exchanged, there is more than enough complexity in mating through social networks that we can just focus on social sphere mating.
Men and women want totally different things. And the way they go about getting these things should make it impossible for humans to mate.
Have you ever seen a droves of Christian women falling for perfectly eligible Buddhist bachelors? Have you ever seen droves of nurses falling for perfectly eligible architects? What about droves of NYC women falling for perfectly eligible LA bachelors?
NYC has the highest women to men ratio. LA, Seattle and Silicon Valley have the highest male to women ratio. You would think that these geographically socialized groups could just fly 5 hours cross country and have a mass mating season. But it just doesn't work that way. Seattle, LA and Silicon Valley are male dominated due to the computer engineering industries. And NYC is dominated by female models due to the fashion industry. But as ideal as it may seem, mass inter-social-sphere mating simply does not happen.
If you want to exagerate the polarity of male female dispersal tenfold, women in heat need only go to an architects' conference. The annual schedule is here and this is a largely male dominated industry. Men in heat need only attend a health care conference. A disproportionate percentage of highly educated financially sound women can be found here.
As simple as it may seem, men have not been able to break through and geographic, financial, belief, professional or any other sociological bubble en masse. And women have no interest in doing so.
Ironically, the reason is simple.
Men, it's far less work to become the top dog Alpha at work than win over a random gorgeous women
Men seek beauty. Women seek security. This may seem like neanderthal pre women's lib and pre ACLU thinking but it's true. If you men understand this concept fully, you'll save yourself a great deal of Grey Goose Cosmo money.
The most desirable women in any social sphere (if she is of social influence) will always pursue the alpha male in that sphere. Be it her corporation, church, college, industry or town, she will pursue a man who has alpha influence over her social sphere. Think of the consequence of not doing so. Lincoln High's head cheerleader would be far out of her comfort zone at a Jefferson High State Finals. A nurse would have little in common in a room filled with architects. A Christian woman would be uncomfortable in a room full of her husband's Buddhist buddies. This effect is amplified upon children.
For men, these concerns are not even within their field of calculation. The only thing that concerns men is getting the prettiest girl pregnant. Statistically, good looking children get the most attention from teachers, have the most friends, and get the best jobs. All of this is necessary from the man's point of view. The consequence of having ugly children for men is working overtime.
Men seek beauty. Women (thinking about babies) seek security. This may seem like neanderthal pre women's lib and pre ACLU thinking but it's true
Men, it's far less work to become the top dog Alpha in your social sphere than to win over a random gorgeous women who is in a totally different social bubble. So leave the bar. Go back to work (Top dogs don't even sleep).
PS. Even if you do live in a big city like LA or NYC, if you're an IPhone Developer like me, you might wanna think about being an Alpha in a space where the only person you associate with is not your Barista.

@nwcptr4me of something totally hard to remember asked me the jist of (what the hell is a "jist" anyways? Some sort of verb in the past tense?!) the title. It's really simple. The benefits are obvious. Instead of paying some other blogger or site to advertise, I can advertise on my friggin own blog and get ten times as many customers free.
You do realize that people who read your stuff are ATLEAST 10x's more likely to buy your stuff. Think about it. I only buy from people I know. When's the last time you bought a car or even a book from someone you knew nothing about?
So, I've got about 1,000 youtube videos and 2,000 blog posts. How do I do it?
Anger, NOT LOVE is the greatest motivator
This is the secret: I read blogs written by idiots. Every day, they piss me off (No, I'm not referring to @mashable. I actually think they are a load of smarties). And we all know that anger is the greatest motivator. Think about it. You think LOVE <3 is the greatest motivator. Gimme a break! How many people were you madly in love with but never said anything?!?!?
How many people slightly annoyed you that you just went off on?
So, I read idiocy for inspiration.
Now, here's the secret secret... see top half
So, you go home with some Austrian dude sporting way too many a's in his name and leave
Industry analysts are saying that twitter produces too many quitters. You register looking in hopes of finding interesting people. You auto contact everyone in your email contacts. And VOILA! You get to meet all the same people you already know! Yay! Not Yay?!
Let me break this down for you.
You add @aplusk. He keeps begging you for favors. You add @iamdiddy. He tells you he is working on some new mega project at 4am and makes you feel like a looser. You add some of your favorite bloggers who make less money than you do and when you tell them how much you love their work, they don't even bother to respond.
Am I close?
So, you go home with some Austrian dude named HaagenDaas, sporting way too many a's in his name, melting in your hand, you leave. Romantic comedy reruns never let you down do they?
This is where Shaolin Kung Fu teaches you how to find your soul mate on Twitter. He or she is out there. The Shaolin are the clan credited for developing the five animal kung fu styles. And guess how they did it? They studied the animals. Duh.
The more desperate the bird gets to get jiggy wid' it, the more beautiful it's song gets
Humans get so wrapped up in their own internal ego based monologues that they can't even perform a proper mating ritual. Do what the Shaolin do. Study the animals ("you lazy one, go and learn from the ant! - Solomon").
Since we are on the topic of birds and bees, what better animal to study than birds for their mating calls.
Each bird has a unique song. The more desperate the bird gets to get jiggy wid' it, the more beautiful it's song gets.
Whaaaazaaaaaahhhh! Pow! Bam!
The notes it chooses, the frequency it hits, and the times it performs tell all potential soulmates within ear shot, "You best pay 'tention cuz I ain't stayin on the market!"
So, do you have a mating call? How frequently do you perform and when?
All you have to do hear your own mating call is look back at all your facebook entries, pictures, and yes, tweets.
You use specific terminology, go to specific places at specific times, do specific things, and feel a specific way about those certain things. The words you choose are your song. Now, find and follow someone eles who's song sounds just like yours.
What words do you use most often? copy: RT @journik http://bit.ly/journik and reply to me. And if you follow me I'll give you stuff like this all day long, so click http://twitter.com/journik
