Face it, we're animals.

Had a conversation with J, who was wondering why people were bothered with dressing up. I said it was for self-esteem, but the discovery channel fan (I didn't know he watched that) has this to say.

J: It's the human instinct to exhibit healthy genes to attract the opposite sex. You don't know, 'cos you do it subconsciously. It's in all of us.

I'm sold.

Me: Perhaps. The primal mating nature of humans, disguised but unchanged by time.

There's something undeniably sexy about such intrinsic primitivism. Raw. And no, I didn't mean to type 'roar'.
