Tinbergen Trap is a setup where someone uses “an exaggerated signal to trigger a natural reaction”… then punishes the person for it.
Tinbergen trap is named after scientist Niko Tinbergen, who showed animals fall for “supernormal stimuli” like giant fake eggs or female fireflies faking mating flashes to lure males to eat them.
*In human culture, it’s when influencers or clout-chasers bait attention (like filming in gyms) and then shame people for responding in completely normal ways.
Tinbergen trap & Tinbergened creation was first created by Gary Robert Frank, thefrankapproach.ca

“That gym video was a total Tinbergen trap… she dressed for attention, then blasted the guy for looking”
“Clickbait headlines are digital Tinbergen Traps…they exaggerate just to get a reflex reaction”
“Dude, I got Tinbergened. They edited the clip to make me look like a creep”

Venus Fly Trapping is something that happens to thick and hefty women when trying to have sex; it is when a the vaginal area(Inside the vagina, the Lips, and around the thighs) of the female sticks together and doesn't allow the penis to penetrate inside, it can take many many tries before being able to penetrate without the assistance of a lubricate.
M: "why won't it go in???''
F: ''I guess I'm Venus fly trapping."
M: "Oh, well then I'll run and get the lube."
