I tend to make a fool of myself. Not as much of a doofus as I'd like to think. Damn, I was bursting at the seams with an answer, but its gone now. Try back in a bit.

msg...not so much doofus as showing off to impress the ladies. Sort of like in nature. We do not have the plumage of a peacock, so we use what we were given...our seeming unlimited ability to do stupid, life-threatening things to impress potential mates. Sometimes it works, other times we end up alone yet again.

I think I should clarify I don't mean acting stupid...I mean changing appearance, suddenly taking an interest in things they never liked, and generally making themselves look like comepletely different people than they really are. How is this helpful. The girl who then gets involved with the "new " guy will later end up frustrated and disappointed because he's not the guy he seemed to be and the guy will be frustrated because he couldn't keep the girl...

I really don't have an answer. I guess females makes our innards go all fuzzy and wobbly, making it very difficult to think properly. I know I am guiltily as charged. I could learn a billion lines and do the most embarrassing things on stage, but I can't talk to a girl without it turning sour real fast.
EDIT: Gorram ninjas! Now I gotta answer that question as well. I don't think there is any excuse for why we do it. Just that primal chase we've never fully gotten out of performing. Damnable hormones will make liars and assholes out of us.

Thanks Tristan!
Cuz alcohol and/or testosterone makes men do stupid things... 
They override the "common-sense" area of the brain.
(edit...after clarification) I think men enjoy the hunt and will do whatever it takes to "get" a woman, but then revert to their true selves afterwards. That's one reason I don't think women should rush into anything with a man. Make sure he's what he says he is... I think women fall for the "peacock" but then realize they have a dodo.

msg, I understand now. See, it's because a female confounds a male. You are the greatest thing in the world, and most males will do anything to be sure you do not leave us. This includes changing our appearance, mannerisms, etc to better fit into your view of how we should be. We do not lose our own identity, we just try to change to meet all your needs.

I'm of the opinion that I am who I am, and I will not change that for any man... or woman

Ya know, I'd seen both sexes do this alot. That's why dating seems so stupid tome. But so does jumping in head first. Can't be happy with anything. Crap.
On a side note, I figured out my next fantasy fling. In the middle of a lake on a ski doo. Wanted to try on a motorcycle down the highway, but that whole Darwin list thing scared me off.
So much for the skydiving fantasy.
