Sneaky fucker

I wonder if I am a sneaky fucker. No I am not drunk, nor infected by Toxoplasmosis.

Thanks to the Economist, I have learned that there are two types of males in the world: the ones who show off and mate a lot; and the ones who do not show off and... mate a lot. But get this: the ones showing off - be it crowing, preening, growing nice feathers, keeping handle-bar moustaches or dancing in bell bottoms - apparently spend so much energy in, well, attracting the females, that their sperm are less viable than those of....

.... the sneaky fuckers. Well the Economist article labeled the less-flashy males spawning with the females "sneaking" and separately used the word "copulation", but we all know the writer would just have loved to say "sneaky fuckers".  Anyway the thrust of the article was exactly what I have written, and it specifically refers to angel fish and how the not-so-flamboyant males "sneak" and perpetuate their genes.  While of course it is incumbent upon boys to fuck around at 18, the male sexual peak, this is encouraging news for those who save it up to savor later in life, when everyone else in sexual Sahara, i.e. marital fizz.

As a modest, self-deprecative sort of person, this article has made my day.

The article is here:  The hunk and the show-off do not always get the girl.
