Taking up mammoth hunting to befriend a guy in pursuit of a platonic friendship is 100% the worst way to go about it.

If a woman presents any man with the opportunity to hunt an extinct megafauna with her, she is absolutely the most desirable mate possible. The amount of effort she would have to undertake would be a clear sign she is interested unless it is presented as a group activity.

You do have to be careful, I suppose - how many generations of our male ancestors, after all, have been seduced by that age-old hunter-gatherer pickup line: "MEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"

True. I can easily be wooed with carne asada tacos and/or bacon.

Like, if I woke up a chick's place for the first time and she made me a plate of bacon, I'm a tuna in a bucket.
