| Why are Humans the only Mammals without a mating call?
Posted: 6/16/2006 10:11:30 PM | The problem is that due to the variety in which people come, mating calls that work with one group will not work with another. Which is why NASCAR fans shout "Wooo!!" from the rolled down windows of their 1982 Cameros while trying to get the sluggish V-6 to burn rubber. Now, maybe in, say, Georgia, this will attract the attention of a would-be mate. But up here in Oregon, it won't get more than an eye roll and a "loser." The one that works well up here is, "Want to share my umbrella?"

use your guitar to do a mating call
maybe human males are only good at doing mating calls when they are in with a bunch of other unattached human males. pack mentality. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 12:59:34 PM | Please, we all know that the guitar does NOT act as a true mating call. It's the BASS that draws them. Bass frequencies travel farther, are more likely to be heard, and us bss players have stronger hands.

True, I do not think we have any kind of mating call.
Unless tender words spoken in an appealing voice.
Though there has been research.
Certain frequencies affect persons.
Some say low frequencies make people aggresive or violent.
Other frequencies affect them in possible harmonious ways..
Go figure. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 4:58:14 PM | You may have been very accurate in your usage of the word "unrecognized". Been single for four years now...and the more dates I go on the more I see that many males just don't have a clue.....not a hater or basher...just an observer.
I think it was an old perfume ad that said "If you want to get someone's attention...Whisper". I know that works for me. You can say volumes without even using words. A single look...a focused...intense...bore right through steel kind of look...not the google eyed cartoon "Ah-oooogah" cave man look....does it for me. No cheap lines. No kissy faces. Just simple eye contact. That tells your true intentions.
On behalf of frustrated single women everywhere...thank you for your research. | |

guitars and such are just large penis extenders and enlargers. The bigger and badder the better. And women say size doesn't matter.
So what does it say about me that I have a BUNCH of guitars and basses?
It says I'm a bass-playin' metal head!!
Wow, that was lame. I apologize to everyone for that last bit of testosterone-induced lunacy.

Yes and no. Why?
Being an amateur guitar player (& singer) I would like to comment that no everyone's ear is well trained or gifted to pick up sub/low-tones or low bass frequencies. However, if "guitar strings have been tuned, plus you happen to find & tackle plectrum too" - wow - "duet" can quite likely materialise.  | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 9:00:13 AM | This is Highly regional-ized and so we will look at the Country (USA) as a whole
In the typically north west i.e. Washington state/Oregon/rural northern California
(also works for any wilderness region)
there are 3 different distinct varieties of mating calls for three types of inhabitants
1. the tree hugger
this type lives in the woods, rides his bike (or at least drives a hybrid) recycles and is looking for a mate who does not shave their legs or pits his call is thus
"I have a veggie burger on stone ground whole wheat with a slab of soy cheeze a side of dandelion greens and radishes sprinkled with flax seed and yogurt, would you like to share?"
2. the worker
this type is making the most of the ability to work as the population density is low and they will hire just about anyone, he is looking to settle down, work for the next 50-60 years and maybe payoff the mortgage on that cabin and pave the drive way some time before he dies his call is thus
"I have a house a car a job I want kids I want you to stay home and take care of them and me, and I will make sure you have hot water and a roof over your head, I will be loyal and true and make you feel needed"
3. ex-gangster in the witness protection program
You know who this is, he is looking to GET LAID his call.....
"You wanna go shopping? sure, here's the AMEX"
head a bit farther south and you have the hip happening show business world of central California (and throw in Vegas, Manhatten, Miami, it's all that same type area)
Here again we also have three, but very different types, of male mating calls
1. the producer (self explanatory looking to get laid) the call?
"Hi, (hand extended) I am an agent"
2. the agent (also self explanatory, also looking to get laid)
"Hi, (hand extended), I am a producer"
3. ex-G W.P.P. (self explanatory of coarse)
"shopping? sure! here...AMEX"
come toward the east a bit and, lets face it, the whole center of the country can be lumped together in the interest of time and the fact that where ever you go if it ain't like I decribed up there, then it's is like this here...
1.biblethumping.meateating.flagsaluting.gasburning.potbellied.longpants.and.sensibleshoe.wearing.fortyhouraweekworking.justwanna.getithard.ti.tty.bar.visiting.averagejoe. his call....
"how much for a lap dance?"
2.guy who owns the place where that guy works
(he is on vacation with his mistress while his wife is in the audience at Ophra and the kids are in private school) but his call is
"another Margarita for the lady please"
3.X-G WPP they are everywhere 'eh?
"shopping? - AMEX IT"
get anywhere close (within 10 miles) to the coast of the Atlantic ocean and the 3 types change dramatically
1. MR. DRIVE he got started on a scholarship, but finished school on his own dime, has 1 full time job another as a consultant three side businesses, a music manager/promoter one in real-estate (of coarse) and a dollarstore. He knows what he wants, and he is ready to find that special someone to compliment his life style. his call......
"I really liked your cousin at the wedding, she isn't gay too? Is she?"
2. the guy who has already had his career, his mid-life crisis and his epiphany he thinks he can (and amazingly sometimes DOES!) get with ladies way too young, good looking, smart, or wealthy than you would explect. his call?
"AARRG" "in me last life I was a pirate!"
3. YUP even here we have XGWPP but the call now
"How would you like to accompany me to the mayors inaugural ball"
girls list? anyone? | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 9:08:12 AM | | I work on a construction site, the mating call there is "yo babe, wanna climb my ladder". Not kidding. I almost broke my leg because I was laughing so hard and wasn't watching where I was going after I heard that. | |

Because we're hopeless!
We rely on things like online dating to meet people. We need immigration just to sustain our population.
Okay it's settled: The human race is doomed.

Posted: 6/19/2006 12:09:02 PM | Humor is the human mating call check the profiles almost all women want a man with a sense of humor. The more sarcastic the better.  However, the call just gets their attention then you need to do the dance  which is just look as foolish as any ordinary man could imagine. After all look at the one guy on the dance floor making a fool of himself and 187 women dancing with him.  There's bound to be one of them interested in him or drunk enough  to get interested.  | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 1:51:25 PM | There seems to be a mating call here in Atlanta...it is:
"I make six figures a year!"
It is usually said to the female whom is dressed like a male peacock, in which the feathers are actually fake boobs, overly tan and dyed blonde hair.
The animal kingdom as a whole seems to be very predictable. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 10:17:28 PM | Deeply misunderstood and communicated with much confusion but basically it can be boiled down to this>
For a woman - it is anything that she says, does, wears or doesn't wear on days 12 to 16 of her menstrual cycle. Day 14 of course is BAM! Cougar on the prowl and any man is just a pawn, soon to be spent and discarded. I am currently working upon a D14 Bammometer to assist men in properly gauging the female mating need to optimize success and penetration frequency into this domain. Sadly, this is necessary as the pre-mating call of the female is much too often muted, faint or disguised beyond the ability of most males to realize.
For a male - it is simply a response to the sound and feel of a breeze blowing betwixt his legs or whenever blood is pulsing through his veins. Where is the closest female of the species, or not of the species as his urge supercedes his desire to care. Directly related to testosterone levels. Often the mating call can only be loudly heard from the female during direct couplings of the mating embrace or embraces (depending upon the gymnastic skill level of the individuals involved). No bammometer required for women and thus no time nor effort will be spent on this part of the species.
However, further individual research testing will be required with all female of the species required to confirm this fact under direct assistance. Please contact CY clinical research studies ASAP to fine-tune comprehension, sensory capture and response methods. All for the sake of humanity and the necessity in preserving the survival of the species. Let us introduce you to my hyperactive zygote?
Optimal results ideally guaranteed on Day 14 of your cycle.
Bammo! | |
