AKA female groupies who aren't very tznius-dik about their female instincts to get mated with an Alpha Male. The younger the girl, the stronger the instinct.<br /><br />This isn't a whiny complaint (from me, a non-athlete). The simple fact is that up until, oh, a century ago - giving birth was an EXTREMELY risky event for a human female. Biology is full of examples of the fact that getting knocked up by the Alpha of the Clan is the single best way for a female to maximize great-grandchildren per childbirth-event.<br /><br />This un-conscious behaviour by females was STRONGLY SELECTED FOR, for hundreds of thousands of years. DNA statistical-analysis repeatedly points to the fact that, throughout human evolution, more than half of the males never had any genetic offspring. Well.... not any SURVIVING ones.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is nothing we nerds can do or say to change that reality.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-73237599269850776682013-12-11T20:49:33.382+02:002013-12-11T20:49:33.382+02:00thanks

The games end with the opposing players shaking hands, which is also a wonderful thing. I also enjoy when during the game opposing players help each other up. It's just wonderful when they see each other as people (and friends) even in the middle of the game.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-7986820035040049762013-12-11T07:15:59.822+02:002013-12-11T07:15:59.822+02:00I also love when the Lions rush out to greet their...I also love when the Lions rush out to greet their fans. It is so elegant and shows such a team spirit -- that the Lions think they are a better team because of their fans -- and I know this is why your fans are probably the best at cheering their team on. (Though we on the Rebels love when you cheer "Yerushalayim," because then we all win, don't we?)<br /><br />Coach Eastman has taught his high school team the Lions' applause for the fans, because it teaches the midah of gratitude.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.com
