How to attract a babe: The old school of thought

[Ivan Seeking]

After studying fossils in a region called Dragon Bone Hill in China, anthropologist Russell Ciochon of the University of Iowa concluded males of the species were clubbing one another over the head, probably to win females....

...For more than 100 years, researchers have pondered the odd shape of homo erectus' skull, which looks something like a bicycle helmet.

[motai]

Now imagine if today's society did that...

[Zantra]

ya ... I know what you mean...

Dating would be much simpler[:D]

[one_raven]

What do you mean, "Imagine if..."?
I have met guys that try and win a girl by proving just how hard and thick their skulls are.
Quite a few, in fact.
What has really changed?

[FUNKER]

I hear u man, society wears the make up of civilism but after the night out all ur really left with is primates with panda eyes

[zoobyshoe]

"...probably to win females." is pure speculation. Different bands of homo erectus probably had head clubbing conflicts with each other over every concievable thing. Native Americans in the northeast were avid users of the "war club", in classic skirmishes over territory, and Native Americans in the Northwest carved elaborate clubs called "slave killers" that were used in the ritual execution of their slaves. I don't see any good reason to conclude homo erecti were bashing each other in conflicts over females at all. The only thing that can be said is that they were almost certainly bashing each other. Why is not evident.

Those crazy homo erecti! I wish i could club people. Maybe i should join the police. There are a lot of idiots and stupid-looking people who deserve to be clubbed. However the people i would like to club usually ARE the thick skulled variety so it would be like trying to date them or something... gotta re-think my strategy? How does running them over sound?

My avatar lives in Malibu, but I am in Westwood.

Running over them might work, or you could teach them algebra at gunpoint. The latter may give some results (hopefully), otherwise result to first suggestion.

[jimmy p]

LOL. I suppose it would be satisfying to watch their brain explode as they try to contemplate using letters instead of numbers.....Then to make sure they are goners, ill run them over.

(this is important because not all of these idiots have a brain...just the brain stem with a tumour which produces 'fight hormones' which are different from testosterone...)

They would probably make a very futile attempt to learn (i.e. x^2 - x = x) or wonder if pi is food.

Proof that this practice continues!

Recently a friend commented that he was going out clubbing that night! This was stated within a sexual context.

So if he were to do some clubbing (of other guys) in a club do you think that this would double the effeciency in impressing the ladies? (Oops just realized I'm not in the ask a stupid quetion ......)[:D]

Well I suppose since I am one (girl that is) I can say the answer is, probably not. However Monique,Jimmy, and MacTech did demonstrate an interesting twist showing the efficiency of the clubbing for the (supposed) victim for gaining female sympathy so there may be hope for this technique yet.[6)]

[Evo]

I would definitely go for the "clubee" as opposed to the "clubber".

[null]

Yup given the choice I too would have go for the "clubee", or on the other hand perhaps the tall, dark, and handsome brazilian stranger standing by the bar [!:)] who was appaled by it all. Yup I thinks thats my favorite outcome[;)].

Sorry guys you'll just have to come up with a new technique.

So, the anthropological truth may be more like:

Two homo erecti are sitting in a bar. First one says to the second one: "Wow! Ya see that babe who just walked in? Quick. Whack me on the head, and act mean.!" Second one says: "Sure, dude. Just don't forget you owe me."

So, I think we've proven here that natural selection favors those who are repeatedly beaten over the head. Explains a whole lot about the current condition of our species, don't it?

No, that would just make him doubly appealing. Better to "acciently" spill your drink on him (those brazilians are proud of their clothes) so that he loses it and whacks you first.

Lurch, I think you're absolutely right. The thinner a guy's scull, the easier he goes down, and the more the women go for him. Thus Nature selects the smarter, (sapiens) thinner sculled, "clubee".

If you guys would quit whacking each other in the head to get our attention, maybe we would quit thinking you act so BRAIN DEAD a lot of the time!![:D] [o)] [6)] [:D]

Good job turning that one around zooby, the brazillian turns out to be a superficial pretty boy and a brute, good to see some brain cells have survived the repeated clubings [g)]

Oh, I don't practise this courting technique myself. I'm there, behind the bar serving drinks, and on those nights when the "clubbers" have been dragged away to jail, and the "clubbees" have succumbed to their wounds and been taken to the morgue, I'm what's left to comfort the bereaved, tender hearted gal.

Or you could just whack the "clubbers" and "clubbees" and take the women for yourself... Just say the "clubbers" were trying to rob the bar and they already clubbed the "clubbees" to the ground.

I have one word of advise for you, Motai: finesse.

[Evo]

Just one problem. The women have all become disgusted with all the males clubbing each other and left the bar. [:D]

[motai]

This entire situation seems like a modern day "stone age" way of "attracting" women. In the stone age man could club woman and drag her off to cave. In modern times, he does the same but drags her off to a bar. Then when other males get near his territory, a battle starts (complete with ugh's and miscellanious grunts) as they both whack eachother with sticks and whatnot. The females recover from their unconsiousness and walk away.

As true as it was back then as it is today.

Best thing they can do for the men, really. Otherwise they'll never bother to rethink their strategy.

Nope. Totally naked 'cept for one big, mutt-kicking shoe.

The sympathetic ear is right however.

Evo I don't ever want to see nice and polyester in the same sentence again (shudder). Unless perhaps, polyester makes a nice accelerator when lighting a fire on a cold night in your zooby den. [:D]

I don't know Evo, given these options I think this needs a twist. *girl clubs the clubber, clubbe, brazillian, and the admittedly knowledgeable but primitive zooby behind the bar trying to set a mutt-kicking distance (wary of his posible desire to see flying pigs) record wearing no pants (I'm hoping there is at least a strategically placed leaf, if there is no leaf, I don't want to know [8)] ), drooling profusely.

Actually our specialty is a drink called the flying zoobie.
Vodka, rum, goat's milk (unpasteurized) one ice cube.

We make brush shelters and use no fire. Long, thick body hair keeps us warm. We also do not want to see the word "nice" in association with "polyester".

I really can't make any particular sense out of this thought. The part about flying pigs really threw me. Anyway there's no leaf, but I always stand behind the bar.

[jimmy p]

How big is a zooby shoe? I have a new tactic...turn up late. That way all the clubbing has been done, you have easy access to the bar (dodging the clubbees...which is just about everyone) and you have all the women around you. So natural selection chooses the late-comer (STOP THINKING THOSE DIRTY THOUGHTS!!!) [;)] [:D]

Oh the flying pig comment was in response to your previous comment on how zoobies wear one big mutt-kicking shoe, I assumed this was in reference to Tsumani and her dog avator. Mine is a pig so if you would boot a mutt you might be prone to boot a pig, especially one that just clubed you, hence the flying pig. Ahh never mind on with the thread!!

Ahh yes the ladies appreciate you standing behind the bar [;)]

The size of a zooby foot of course, with an extra inch to account for the hairy feet.

Yes, but only because she went temporarily insane and rabid or something and attacked my leg. Mutt-kicking is not a habit, by any means.
Mine is a pig so if you would boot a mutt you might be prone to boot a pig, especially one that just clubed you, hence the flying pig.
Only if it just clubbed me, or otherwise launched an unprovoked attack. Anyway, I couldn't make heads or tails of your avatar. I have the primitive internet access system known as "web tv", and the 13 inch tv screen has poor resolution compared to some fine monitors I've seen. (Zoobies can't operate anything more sophisticated than web tv, anyway). So the hat or head dress or whatever it is threw me off in discerning the species of your avatar.

There is also that old saying: "When pigs have wings." I thought you were alluding to that, and couldn't figure what it had to do with anything.
