    For as far back as I can remember, my mates and I have used the term “peacocking” to describe the more "physically focused* males. And it works. Not for anyone we’ve found attractive, but they get “chicks” and “birds”.

    ILS is probably the most commonly knownn of the many feather fluff tactics.

      Is it still ILS if I’m just overweight so my actual lats get in the way of pressing my arms at my sides?

      Same, or some of the guests. I’m often waiting for them to do the obligatory “a lot of people know me from…”

      I think of this old tweet a lot.
