Simple truth: Everything men do is to impress women. With a degree in Botany and Zoology and as a lifelong naturalist, I view the world through the eyes of a biologist. My world view and understanding of human behavior, business, and all aspects of life is typically in terms of biological concepts. A business is an organism that must compete with like organisms as well as different in order to feed itself and survive. Each employee, associate, whatever the name used, is like the leg of a caterpillar and must work in concert to propel the business forward in the never-ending search for food, or revenues in this case. A friend once told me, “Everything men do is to impress women.” Male Birds court and sing, male insects display and blink their lights, gorillas beat their chests and battle rivals, all in the name of attracting the female of their species. We are just another creature in the greater scheme of things, not so unlike God’s other creatures who live only to reproduce and carry on the species. We are ruled by passions, instincts, not just intellect. One of the most powerful primitive instincts, second only to survival, is the need to mate and ultimately reproduce. While there are exceptions to every rule, they do not negate the rules to which they are exceptions. So yes, I do believe that men do everything they do, race cars, write books, go to work in their chosen field of endeavor, play sports, invent toys, create new technologies and write this blog, ultimately to impress women. No wonder women think men are such simple creatures.
