Territorial Boundaries

As far back as I can remember, there's always been a scene that really provoked me, it's something we see in everyday life.

When you see a couple walking down the street or sitting somewhere, with the guy having his arm around her shoulder, not in a passionate caring way, but in a sort of "You're mine" way.

Each time I see this, I'm tempted to walk over, explain to him the traditional ways of territory control, such as pissing on the tables, ejaculating on the walls, shitting around the corners and of course, let us not forget the occasional howl for any other would be alpha male in the vicinity.

I mean, in all honesty, what's the difference between such a guy and a dumb tomcat living at your place, they both want to claim the territory, along with any females in the vicinity.

I don't mind the occasional exercise of protection, I practice it myself from time to time, but this only happens when the girl I'm with attracts the wrong sort of attention from people in the vicinity, it's a sort if "I'm here, so no monkey business please"

Another thing that I find rather amusing, is the routine of double dates that get split halfway, when one of the guys decides he needs to check out something in a nearby shop or something, ofcourse, he takes one of the girls with him, you should see the attitude the other guy gets when he's alone with the other girl for the first time, he can finally start to look all-seeing, all-knowing.

He sits up in his chair, starts raising his voice a bit (A notion of confidence), begins speaking about work, the hardships of life, how his parents misunderstand him, and what brilliant ideas for mankind he has.

Try getting into his head for a while, one thing is there most probably, but we needn't discuss that.

Now, my question is, when you're out on a date, are you there to enjoy the company of the lady or are you there so people can see you have a lady??

I could go on forever, but I'm due at work in 1 hour, so let's leave it here.
