Unsuccessful Mating Calls
I was sitting in the B building Atrium and was becoming progressively annoyed by a loud-spoken boy until I looked to see what was actually going on. A guy, about 20 years old, sat facing a beautiful girl his age, and loudly imitating Count Dracula. The girl, striking in beauty , was providing enough positive feedback to keep him going. It was obvious, however, that she was not impressed when moments later she picked up her things and moved over to another table.
This boy was engaging in a mating call. Unfortunately for him, it was unsuccessful. Although awkward and extremely embarrassing, he put in sufficient effort to grab the attention of most bystanders. He was unaware that in his attempt to grab the attention of his prospect, he succeeded in performing all of the wrong social rituals needed to attract a woman.
