Bugs and Beasts Are Smarter When Choosing a Mate

When choosing “the one,” a female penguin knows better than to
fall for the first nerd who waddles up and honks. She holds out
for the fittest suitor available, which, in Antarctica, means one
tubby enough to sit for weeks on her newly hatched eggs without
starving to death. Female scorpion flies are also fussy. They scorn
unsymmetrical manbugs and only flirt with invertebrate lovers
who have well-matched wings. Ladybugs opt for males who are
most masterful at killing prey and bringing home the bacon.

So, if penguins and flies don’t settle, why should you? The reasons
are many—and often bizarre. Frequently, your settling for life
in the froggery has to do with your own loneliness or need for support.
Maybe it’s just because you want easy sex. Or perhaps you
enjoy having a slave who, although he or she is not up to your
standards, will do anything for you.

Many people get into a relationship they’re all excited about
at first. Perhaps it’s happened to you. You meet someone. He or
she is stimulating and fun to be with. So you start thinking about
a long-term relationship.

Then little by little you begin discovering your partner’s nasty
little habits. He or she tells a lie, cheats, or passes gas in public.
The disappointments pile up on you one by one, and you begin
to realize this is not the ideal mate you once hoped he or she
would be. Perhaps you keep telling yourself things will change and
your partner will become Mr. or Ms. Right. But deep down you
know you’re kidding yourself. Time passes and you do nothing
about it.

Sometimes, when you’re feeling low, you tell yourself you
won’t find anyone better. Then when it hits you that this person
doesn’t live up to your standards, you kick yourself, knowing you
should make the move. But you don’t. Why? Because although on
a conscious level you feel worthy of a wondrously fulfilling relationship
with a world-class partner, on a subconscious level you’re
telling yourself a very different story.

See if you recognize any of these hidden hang-ups in yourself.
