While I recognize that animals do some narly things like crap and have sex in public, you have to give them credit for one thing; the Animal Kingdom has the formula for successful relationships down to a science. Male suitors prove themselves by fighting and sometimes dying while pursuing, protecting, and pleasing their mates. Female animals are well taken are of. Their mates drag home dinner, watch over the family, and if you ever happen to watch the Discovery Channel, you know how much they get laid. While there's sure to be some competition between males to attract mates or between females to be the most desired one of the bunch, everything seems to even out. Even the peacock with the least colorful feather can find a partner. Animals don't waste their times on the wrong mates.
When it comes to humans, the only aspect of relationships that females and males seems to be very proficient in is screwing. Girls screw other girls over if it means they'll get the guy. Guys screw other guys over if it means they'll get the girl. We screw ourselves into thinking that screwing screwed up people will somehow lead to a less-than-screwed up relationship. You get the point.
In my opinion, it all comes down to understanding evolution. Animals have been around for a long time and are wired to survive. They recognize that finding a mate, creating, and protecting their families will allow their species to continue on. Even with all of their intellectual capabilities, humans are a self-destructive species. Rather than honing in on finding a partener that will support and enable us to reach our individual potentials, many of us spend our time in the wrong relationships and friendships, and can't seem to understand why we can't grow. This, my friends, is no bueno.
When it comes to mating, maybe we could take a few pointers from the Animal Kingdom. You know what they say..."You and me baby ain't nothin but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel".
