Images from Animal Planet that I Compare with Men

I have been watching shows about animals on Animal Planet. This is far from my usual TV viewing but that's what we are limited to right now. There's a program about young animals who have to seek to survive on their own. I like it and my children like it too. I listen to the narrator about the animals social behavior and it is very interesting.

What's more intriguing is that we humans have similar behaviors. I look at animals that have to show male dominance to impress a female. Men are always competing and some even run lies to compete as opposed to being honesty chivalrous. Others get the biggest car or the most muscles to impress a lady. Some build big homes or walk around with wads of cash. Men use whatever technique that can win them favor with a woman - each man has his own method to capture the particular woman he has his eyes on....even if she's a Gold Digger!

I look at animals like hyenas or vultures who are like scavengers. Some men are like that too. They can't wait to see another brother fall so that they can sweep in to take his woman or his assets. They have no game of their own to win a woman's heart so they try to get a woman on the rebound. Some don't care that's it is their friend's girlfriend.

Some men are like animals like zebras that roll with several females. You know these are the players. However, the zebra are all understanding of this. Most women are not! I've seen explicit commentary on social media between young women about these men's behavoir. However, the silly women fail to realize that the beef is with the man not among themselves. He's still getting some from both and is in the background laughing and soothing his ego.

There are good men who provide for their family like the male animals who do. There are men who are like cheetahs (no pun intended) who hunt together with the females. There are men who take care of the young while the female hunt. All this is good.

What works in the animal kingdom may not always work for us as humans. Animals have not veered from their instincts. However, the greed and lust in us as human beings will always alter our instincts for doing right.  It is hoped that we will follow the right examples from the animals so that we can interact positively with each other.
