German term or phrase: gockeln
Den Schönsten im Lande stehen oft viele (und die potentesten) Sexualpartner zu – und damit werden die Gene an viele Nachkommen weitergegeben. Da dies das Prinzip der Natur ist, wird gegockelt und geplustert, Räder geschlagen und Mähnen aufgestellt. Meist sollen die Weibchen beeindruckt werden. Da Menschen weder Federn noch Mähnen haben, machen sie sich mit den Haaren (als Rest eines Pelzes) und der Kleidung schön und/oder auffällig. Die Prinzipien aus dem Tierreich können jedoch nicht nahtlos auf die Menschen übertragen werden

Asker: Poiché questo è un principio di natura, si fa il galletto e ci si pavoneggiato, si fare la ruota e si esibisce la criniera" che ne pensi di questa resa?

ringalluzzirsi / diventare baldanzosi / ostentare baldanza


Explanation:
Un'alternativa: "ci si ringalluzzisce"
oppure un sinonimo (ma si perde l'immagine del "gallo"), ad es.
si diventa baldanzosi, si ostenta... e simili
