I've been trying to come up with a lower bound on how long I would
have to think about this saying before I came up with the
the easiest solution is to lower your standards interpretation (which an earlier writeup tells us is the meaning of this Finnish epigram).
I'm not sure there is one, because I probably never would.
But, the disclaimer in the original writeup notwithstanding, the only
way to see that meaning is actually to consider the
point of view of the hypothetical beastialiphile (?) because, despite
what gn0sis says, Mother Nature has provided that nothing entices
a male pigeon more than the sight of that cooing female with her
beady eyes and fat ass. There is no lowering of standards in his eyes.
In fact, he's probably put her up on a pedestal (or on the statue thereon)
and is quaking with fear because
she's so fine.
As Jubal Harshaw said, a female warthog can be very attractive
-- to a male warthog.
