By the way, is it octopuses or octopodes?

Maybe the females weren’t aiming for the males, but are just bad shots.

I’ve decided there needs to be a matrix for men, since women have one. One of the axes should be “horny” and it starts at 5, because men are AT LEAST 5 horny. I haven’t decided what the other axis should be, but it might be something along the lines of “affluence”, because women don’t always go for looks on a man if he is wealthy. But guys are at least 5 horny. We women have to come up with a good matrix for men.

He has to say ‘great legs’ like what, three or four times? Gets tiring after a while.

Wild octopuses? As opposed to tame ones?

Reminds me of a line from an old book on wildlife: "The female of the species is deadlier than the male."
