It is sometimes necessary for men wanting to attract the opposite sex to come out of their shell. Yet it seems that by often choosing the bolder males, women may be missing out on the best possible mate. Researchers have found that the shyest males actually have the most to offer a potential lover - at least in the world of hermit crabs.

Should I assume that fart jokes are off the table?

Nothing stupider than a “scientist” who applies tests on crabs to humans.

I try to avoid humans with crabs.

[tanknetter]

This.

[krunkygirl]

YES! Shy and silly don’t include bad humor...(unless it’s really, really funny )

Ur call -— but I’ll be the judge ;)

That’s me. The cream of the crop. The pick of the litter. The.....uh....something of the something. Or something.

Pretty soon somebody’s gonna say...”Get a room!” *laughing*

I think it’s just a metaphor, not a crab study.

Any comments from Herman’s Hermits?

The alpha types Can be all strut and no (or only maybe one) fruck. Either way, the quieter betas tend to be far more loyal - increasing the chances for long term relationships

But the Alpha types are just SO charming and EXCITING, they make the girls vaginas tingle.

So too many women marry the loyal beta providers, and either have affairs on the side with the exciting alphas, or party their 20's away with the alphas. and then marry betas later in life when they are no longer attractive enough for the alphas to notice.
