Smallville || Echo 9x04 (Clois) || Clark Asks Lois on a Date [HD] | National Date-ographic 'Female assertion'

  0:18 And here in the Metropolis plains the female asserts claim over the male by orally marking his food she provided, a subtle display of dominance to test his reactions & boundaries; the male, you see, is accustomed to this behavior. Very fascinating, his mannerisms during her responses.

1:40 Ahh, look closely, and here the female further asserts boundaries regarding mating outcomes.

The male has scarcely managed to initiate courtship, but she displays a pre-emptive maneuver of an alpha female, guarding her reproductive intentions with charisma than aggression or dismissal.

And thus reading his reactions, successfully enticing his interest: she leaves the social exchange with feminine alure; subsequently making her quality of value exponentially higher to the male.

Grand, nature is. So grand.

And that'll be all for now, thank you listening to National Date-ographic.
