My grandmother had tons of birds. Peacocks, Guineafowl, you name it, she had them all. (geese and Eagles are assholes)
I just assumed that the pretty birds were the girls. It made sense to me. Boy, was I wrong. The bird in the forefront is a peahen. She doesn't need to look dazzling like the cock. She just needs to show up. Until this very day, I never really pieced it all together. I knew the scales of justice were tipped, but I now realize how much they're tipped.
But on the other hand, guys don't seem to be interested in advice, so c'est la vie.
What Guys Said
Yeah most colourful birds in the wild are usually males it's kind of the opposite of the human world. Where women are typically the more colourful/flashy. Though human men still have the same role funnily enough as the male birds.
But yeah it's more or less correct.
It can get even wilder though there are even species of birds who have entire elaborate ritualistic mating dances they do to prove to a female that they're worth choosing over another bird.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/mAiv__zaS00Im an average looking guy. I've never flirted with or hit on any women. Yet I've been on my fair share of dates. I believe in showing up not showing off. Looks fade but personality doesn't.
You need to flirt, but be clever about it. Brains go a long way,
I've got quite a few dates with no flirting.
yes Im smart, well read and well mannered.
What is a clever way of flirting to you Apple?

You inspired the question.
I honestly never even thought about this before.
Guys should stop beating themselves up over this, because even male birds are down with the struggle. I always try and defend mother nature, because she is wise. But I don't get this one. There must be a reason behind it, but I'm not seeing it. If the goal was to populate the species, logic would dictate that the pretty birds would be the females.
Apparently logic isn't part of the equation.
