I thought about this while claiming a lioness.
As another option to impress the ladies, perhaps you could share your meal?

This is how it would work:

When claiming a lioness, you can opt to 'Share your meal', which will take 1 use from a food item from your hoard.
Depending on the lioness' personality, she may be flattered, or run off with it. Either way, it will cost you 1 use of food.

Perhaps it could look something like this:

You offer the lioness some of your meal, she is flattered by your offer and gladly takes a bite.
-x-
You offer the lioness some of your meal, she seems interested, unfortunately, not in you, and takes off with your food. Better luck next time, buddy.

Why do you guys think?
- Also, if the lioness is claimed, do you think the food should effect her hunger? (maybe 40% instead of 50%)
- When using the 'Share your meal' option, should you be able to choose what carcass to use from?
