People whose behavior depends on their instincts, leaving behind emotional balance and the control exercised by the limbic system and the neocortex, are acting under the opinion of a very concrete and exclusive part of our brain: the reptilian brain. How can things like this affect dating?

"The reptilian brain, that old and dark companion, also controls a lot of our basic functions, and our instincts. In fact, tasks such as breathing or the feeling of hunger and thirst are under its control, as well as the more primitive emotions of desire, sex, power, and even violence as a means of surviving. The advertising industry [and coaches] knows that human beings are almost always ruled by the reptilian brain when deciding on one product or another."

How do you think they might use that against us in the dating world? Do you think these things affect your chances of securing a good partner? Do you think unhealed trauma that causes that reptilian brain to activate can affect relationships? If so, how?
