'Scent of a woman' tells male redback spiders to find a mate
If men think finding a nice partner to settle down and raise children with is tough, consider the plight of the male Australian redback spider. Instead of personality conflicts, spats over in-laws and financial worries, imagine that immediately after the first time you have sex, your partner — who is 100 to 200 times your body weight — will eat you alive.

7. I was probably a male redback spider in another life...
...that's probably why I'm gay in this one.

I learned my lesson. Sex with women = death!

Being a Redback spider made me gay!

:P
