Being sociable in short term relationships supplies you with new opportunities.

In long term relationships it is a constant reminder no only to yourself but your girlfriend as well, that you have options.

In LTRs that can actually cause jealousy issues and I have had to consciously dial back the level of sexuality in my passive flirting. I consider myself more of casual flirt now a days.

That's something I've discussed here before, passive dread works wonders. Active dread causes headaches. Being a socialable person is passive dread.

I we broke up today, my girlfriend knows I'd at the very least have the opportunity to sleep with someone attractive within a week. I never had to tell her that, she knows instinctively from watching me interact with strangers.

@Kloi how would you say this relates to short vs long term relationships?

Is there "Alpha" and "Beta"?

Revisiting this ever-lasting debate from a psychological viewpoint.

And "daddy" leaders.

It's only too obvious that the age of fatherlessness is also the age of leaders that project a caricature of a dad.

@adam-l @adam-l The great trick was getting a monopoly on god. "There is only one and he is ours" And over time people fell for it and abandoned the gods of their fathers.

@adam-l

therefore it relies on deep, ancestral faculties.

To add technical detail as a starting point for a deeper dive. Primate level cognition and metacognition, on the level that humans consider setting us apart from "lower animals ", is based in the Neocortex, which evolved long after the Old Mammalian and Reptilian brains, both of which still make up the bulk of human braincase content. Dark Triad individuals can perform dumb AF at tasks and skills that run on neocortex circuitry, yet some can greatly outperform their "intellectual " peers at crafty self serving and group dynamic manipulation. It makes me think of the terabytes of Naughty Dog shorts showing how creative canines can be at getting something placed out of their reach, often gaming humans and other dogs with rather detailed multi step schemes requiring forethought and planning. The underlying brain circuitry driving such behaviors evolved EONS before we clever monkies built our neocortex atop it.

It can require a LOT of neocortex processing time, for a trusting intellectual type. To detect when a seemingly dumb person is successfully manipulating them by outperforming at using these older brain circuits.

Lol, autocorrect kept trying to change Neocortex to Neocon. NOOOOOOO!

YeH, it took me quite a while to figure out what's up, but once you pinpoint it it's self evident.

"Intelligent" necessarily means higher cognitive function activation. Machiavellianism is an evolved social strategy (albeit parasitic), therefore it relies on deep, ancestral faculties. They can do it without understanding how.

The few psychopaths that have come out in the open lately woth books and podcasts explaining how they function are exceptions, and they too can miss quite a bit about how they really go about.
