a common standard of comparison:
women are more aggressive
   in relationships -
                            while men do more
harm if taunted -
       which is why the smaller dogs
tend to bark the most -
while the larger dogs bypass the bark
and are prone to bite.
then there's always the:
if the ***** isn't  willing to give -
                 a mutt knows not to take,
after all, there are other things to
be concerned with...
       however bachelor-esque,
                               and unspectacular.
