It feels like spring is finally upon us. The days are getting longer, the sun seems to shine more warmly and you, like many others in the kingdom are lustful and aching. You watch the birds in your yard, the males vying for the hens’ attention. One eager cock brings her a gift; it’s a stick that she can add to her nest. Another hopeful suitor brings her a stick that’s much larger than the first cock’s offering. She accepts both, but proceeds to ignore them, preening her feathers and adding to her nest.

It feels like spring is finally upon us. The days are getting longer, the sun seems to shine more warmly and you, like many others in the kingdom are lustful and aching. You watch the birds in your yard, the males vying for the hens’ attention. One eager cock brings her a gift; it’s a stick that she can add to her nest. Another hopeful suitor brings her a stick that’s much larger than the first cock’s offering. She accepts both, but proceeds to ignore them, preening her feathers and adding to her nest. Yet another cock has been watching and observing. He notes that this hen is exceptional. He wants to impress her. He knows she will never choose him as her mate, but he hopes to make an impression nonetheless. Although they are difficult to manage and it takes him two trips, he brings her four large sticks. He is granted her company.

You will never be an alpha. You will never be a woman’s first choice. No one will choose you to be their ideal mate.

You do, however, have the opportunity to bring me the most coveted offering, outdoing the others vying for my attention, lay it at my feet and join me as I mock you during this year’s mating season.
