The evolution of Speed ​​Dating - two-way biomimicry

By: Shimon Bogan
Biomimicry of behavior, as opposed to that of traits, is bidirectional. The main direction is imitation of animal behavior by humans. The opposite direction is personification - the borrowing of concepts from the language of human thought and speech to instinctive behavior and animal drives.
It turns out that someone even thought of Speed ​​Dating before us. In the video below, you can see how it happens in nature. With the first rain, before the onset of spring, in Arizona, after a dry period of 10 months without water and food, hundreds of individuals of frogs come out of their burrows and rush to catch their mates. It can be seen that even before they have exhausted one relationship they jump into the arms of the next relationship and in the hustle and bustle of courtship they sometimes even find themselves in threes. Is this where the Brothers Grimm got the inspiration for the fairy tale "The Princess and the Frog"? Speed ​​Dating is based on kissing many frogs until the one and right prince is discovered?

In the human dating world, the institution and concept of speed dating - Speed ​​Dating - was coined and established in an episode of an MTV reality series sometime in 2003.

In Speed ​​Dating you find a number of recurring features:

• Not a bad solution for very busy people, who spend most of their time in isolated settings.
• A starting point and a turning point mainly after an intersex social "dry" period.
• A method that requires intensive externalization and demonstration of positive and attractive qualities, for extremely short periods of time.
• Competitiveness and the ability to stand out are required.
• Usually the women are static and the men skip.
• Usually the women rank and choose and they are given the right of the last word.

Remember the list of features and go to the attached video to see amazing natural Speed ​​Dating, as it has been going on for millions of years, and find the same and the different: Speed ​​dating in frogs
From now on you will not be surprised to find that organizations, websites and clubs that promote Speed ​​Dating around the world adopt and assimilate the word FROG in its various forms within their names.
