A man with dark hair in a blue shirt stands in the foreground, facing away from a woman behind him who has curly black hair, a teal shirt, and wide startled eyes, reaching one hand toward him. She says, 'Hey, wanna come increase your fitness with me?' He replies obliviously, 'Oh, no thanks. I hit the gym this morning.' A caption below reads: 'And so, the biologist's mating call went unheeded.' The joke is that 'fitness' is a biological term for reproductive success, which he misreads as exercise, missing her flirtation. Votey: a close-up of a sad, teary, anguished face above a bubble reading 'FITNESS = 0,' indicating she had no reproductive success.
