"A male is assumed to always want to mate with a female, but a good male is more willing to pay the cost of a long courtship in order to claim the prize of mating. This leads to an outcome in which the female is not willing to mate immediately, but instead requires the male to wait for an indeterminate time before she agrees to mate with him. During this time, the male may give up on courting the female."

-an excerpt from a study by researchers at UCL (University College London), University of Warwick and LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science)

I just found it funny how much more eloquent (scientific?) "mate" sounds than "put out"


Carry On.
