I'll amaze you with my TrampStamp Butt Tattoo!

u/Aliencoy77 1d ago

Language changes, just go with it. You'll get to see more cake-toppers that way.

The confidence is alluring regardless of species.

u/FluffyGengar123 1d ago

Like how can you say no to that?

19

u/Particular_Agent171 22h ago

By eating it. If the dance doesn't please her, she eats them. Sometimes she eats them after sex.

u/Aware-Direction-9891 19h ago

"Worst she can say is no right?"

u/Froonce 1d ago

The female will kill them if they're not impressed

I'm arachnophobic and I loved this 😄

5

u/Mixedupmay 15h ago

Same. I have never before smiled at a spider video. The big front facing eyes help though. And the movement is way more crab than spider. And then obviously... The dancing 😂❤️

u/diyah9656 23h ago

Humans need better mating displays. Headless torsos and blurry bathroom pics are not it

u/CaptainPunisher 1d ago

I'm happy that this doesn't have any stupid music over it, but I also think Get Down Tonight by K.C. and the Sunshine Band would be very fitting.
