In response to an interesting email I got after I posted here earlier....

I'd like to offer an observation.

A male display of aggression is NOT actual aggression. Likewise, how a female dresses (another display) neither is or isn't indicative of her actual promiscuity.

There is a wide difference. I remember a story like 3 months ago about a female Marine I think starting a fight and hitting a guy first. When he hit back she was paralyzed. Very sad.

The difference is that you need to understand male behavior before try and ape it. Men rarely actually fight. Men who can actually do damage hardly ever do. They give each other a wide birth because the costs are too high. The only men that ACTUALLY fight are usually fighting over a girl because they themselves are pretty low value. As men we intrinsically know this I think, but we allow a small minority of the interested define our behaviors AND our intentions.

Food for thought.
