Very sneaky indeed. I see this behavior more and more in nature...I'm going to keep my eye on you all.

hmmm. care to expand on your statement here??

Much like the Black Widow spider and the Preying Mantis, the female disposes of the male after letting him have some fun...but the Femme Fatale fireflies actually deceives the male to lure him into his ultimate destiny.

you are preparing yourself for war Max ? lol

Hahaha...

Okay, but just so you know..
your other eye is on the cat.

Can't live forever

Lol...Don't want to be an appetizer either.

Let's hope she has acquired a taste for younger vittles

No better way to go than doing your duty

At least you had some fun??? Enjoy while it lasts....lolzzzz

Evil Queens are laughing at our demise...I hope I go down the wrong pipe.

I can't relate.

I don't see women as evil queens, Black widows or anything but other people.

I never feel threatened by anyone. But then, I was trained to kill with anything and still remember my training.

My emotional maturity and self-control prevent me from allowing others to have power over me unless I choose to.

My ability to accept the things I can't control and move on gives me contentment.

well normally I might say this is untrue..however, my father-in-law
fell hook line and sinker for a black widow in a retirement village in Florida. He had been married to my mother-in-law for 35 years and lost her to cancer. After retiring he moved down there to be near his brother and this woman got her claws in him. He had a nice retirment saved after working his whole life. She was all sweetness and sugar when they were dating. He flew all down for the wedding. I thought it odd she drove a crappy little car and lived in a trailer if she had worked her whole life as a nurse. Her kids spent most of time out sight seeing and spent no time getting to know us. They did not help their mother get ready for wedding or help with reception. I thought that odd..she talked him into an expensive cruise for honeymoon. Well I don't think they were married three months when she informed him she wanted a divorce, after trying to talk him into a bigger house, buying her a better car, selling her trailer. He said no to all of this and wanted to rent out her trailer and said he was on a fixed income. She tried going after his retirement funds in the divorce but he had a lot of it put away in trust funds for the grandkids so she got almost nothing. He was embarrassed about the whole thing.Turned out this was her forth marriage and she had been doing this for awhile.

Is there a male counterpart to this scenario...
.ohhh....yhea! that's right!! gigolo..
. I just love keeping them...wrapped around my little finger... let them have their fun..

And then whammo.... it's a lot less messy this way.....for me

.. but I bet she put a smile on his face every now ..and then ..wink wink... how does the old saying go... you get what you pay for
