Mate Preferences

1. Strong-willed Mate
   • He would likely prefer a mate who can hold their own, both physically and emotionally. Given his aggression and territorial nature, he might be drawn to someone who isn’t easily intimidated and can stand up to him, challenging him in ways that demand respect. A submissive or overly passive mate may trigger his volatility or frustration, making him more likely to reject them as a partner.
   • He might be especially drawn to a partner who has their own sense of independence, possibly someone who’s not easily swayed by his mood swings or volatile behavior.
2. Physical Attraction Over Emotional Connection
   • Given his "volatile" and aggressive nature, his attraction might be initially more physical than emotional. The mating season is an outlet for his pent-up aggression and desire for domination, making him look for a mate that he perceives as strong or worthy of his attention. His instinctive need for control during mating season might mean he’s looking for someone who won’t easily break under pressure.
   • His territory-driven nature could mean he’s particularly drawn to someone who either already fits into his domain or who challenges it in a way that excites him, creating tension and attraction.
3. Resentment Towards Weakness
   • He might have a low tolerance for perceived weakness, and this could include emotional fragility. A mate who exhibits vulnerability in the wrong moment might trigger his anger. Someone who isn’t emotionally resilient may quickly fall out of favor with him during the mating season.
4. Conflict-Oriented Relationship
   • His relationship with his mate could involve a fair amount of conflict and testing each other's limits. He is argumentative by nature and prone to stubbornness, so he might seek a partner who is also somewhat resistant or challenging. He may also be drawn to someone who can handle his temper and challenge his decisions without backing down, as he enjoys asserting dominance and pushing boundaries.

Mating Season Practices

1. Increased Territorial Behavior
   • During mating season, his territorial nature would likely intensify. He might become more possessive of his space and of potential mates, viewing them as part of his territory. This could lead to him marking his territory more aggressively, making it clear to others that any intrusion is not welcome.
   • If he feels his mate is being courted by others, it could trigger more intense, violent reactions, especially if he believes they might slip from his grasp. His possessiveness might make him act in ways that show his desire to "claim" a mate rather than form a tender bond.
   • If he reaches a certain point, he will withdraw any desire to view them as potential mate or mating season partner.
2. Primal Aggression and Control
   • With his suppressed anger and reliance on control aids, his mating season would be a period of heightened frustration and struggle. The physical changes that come with mating season—such as increased libido, aggression, and territorial instincts—could make it difficult for him to maintain control, especially if he’s forced to confront feelings he’s repressed.
   • The control aids would be less effective during mating season. As a result, he might experience even more intense emotional swings or outbursts of aggression, which could complicate his relationship with his mate.
   • He may resist the emotional connection that mating season brings, finding it challenging to reconcile his natural instincts with his desire for control. This might result in a mate relationship that’s more about physical dominance and possession, rather than emotional closeness, at least initially.
3. Physical Violence or Intensity
   • Given his violent tendencies, the mating season might bring out an even more volatile side of him. He could push his mate away or become physically forceful if they don’t meet his expectations or react in a way that satisfies his desires. However, this violence might not be in the form of abusive or malicious behavior—it could stem from his inability to fully control his instincts or manage his heightened aggression during mating season.
   • At the same time, he might view physical dominance and intensity as part of the mating process, believing that if a mate can’t withstand his aggression (or even reciprocate it), they aren't worthy of him.
