(3,747 posts)1. Hahaha nooope
You spend an incredible amount of time primping, preening, and posturing to attract the opposite sex. As much as you want to attract that devoted love, though, you know these efforts serve another purpose: rivals won't enter your territory because of your intimidating presence.
That's literally the opposite of me fun quiz haha.

(72,300 posts)2. I'm a Smith's Longspur.
You're the type that has an insatiable appetite for lusty affairs, and you seek the same qualities in a partner. While you're not the most discriminating of creatures, your 70s swinging style keeps you busy all season long and is enough to make even Hugh Hefner tired.
You're a Smith's Longspur!
Small like a sparrow, the Smith's Longspur spends its summers in Alaska and Canada and its winters in the Midwest and the South. In terms of range, then, it's a lot like some other species. What sets the Smith's Longspur apart is its astonishing libido. At the peak of the spring mating season, the typical Smith's Longspur copulates more than 350 times a week. The females solicit these encounters, and the males cooperate roughly half the time. Otherwise the creatures are resting and refueling.

You send out strong signals! Making just the right vibrations, you can entice the opposite sex from miles away. Lucky for you, your noisy love tactics don't bother the neighbors.
You're an Alligator!
Alligators are noisy animals, especially during the spring mating season. And while both male and female alligators can produce bellowing sounds, those of large males are louder and deeper than those of their female counterparts. But these noises, created vocally above the water's surface, are only part of the story. From a source deep within their abdomens, males also produce extremely powerful sounds in the subsonic end of the lower register. These sounds (like those produced by the largest whales) travel well underwater and may serve to attract females from many miles away, particularly if the sender is very large.

(153,174 posts)10. I am a praying mantis
When a male Praying Mantis sees a female, the brain in its head sends a clear message: "This is a deadly predator that's bigger than you. Flee immediately! "Yet the male doesn't flee. Instead, it inches forward. Why? Because a second set of nerves in a different part of its body tells it that the female offers sexual fulfillment. The result is some indecision, which the female promptly resolves by devouring the male's head. Thus freed from the source of its inhibition, the male's lower half now mounts the female and copulates with reckless abandon.
