Predator

Very aware of every curve and fold of every woman in the room. He is every man, or most, I've been told that denies his nature to his doom. Silently stalking, each woman's response, calculated, honed by evolution on a savannah, whose actual absence has not been noted on primate emotion. So he stalks and says what he thinks he must. Reacts as civilized but secretly imagines quick gain, an amorous thrust rather than her trust and security. Evolution played a joke on we males, if we don't change we are extinct as whales.
