What I like to do

Ideal Mate

• Contestant #1:

• I’m looking for a mate that will create lots and lots of offspring. I will not accept one or two offspring. I will be able to provide you with anything that you need so all you need to worry about is creating many offspring.

• Contestant #2:

• I’m looking for an aggressive mate that will be able to take the heat from me. It will take me about 1-25 hours just for me to find the right atmosphere so you must be patient. I also don’t want a long relationship, just looking for a partner for reproduction
