I just heard this on NPR and it made me think about how you can use instinct, or social order to your advantage (or disadvantage).

For example, during an approach, you might get AMOGed or bitch shielded (instinct). But if you remain calm, unreactive, friendly, social conventions take over (as long as you AREN'T a social violator). This can be using social conventions to your benefit.

Maybe you want to use instinct for your advantage? Act quick, on emotional points, isolated away from other people (or be hidden in plain sight). This is why nonverbal hand pull isolation can be effective, you bypass the logical and thinking part of the brain by asking to go somewhere else, instead you just act.

However, both of these can work against you. For example, social conventions can be frustrating. Wait too long in a conversation to make a move, and perhaps she starts seeing you as lower class (or not her type), or ends up going back to her friends as she "came with them".

As for instinct, maybe you are talking to a girl for a while, spinning plates and not escalating. All of a sudden, something with more emotional value comes along (a more fun conversation, a new and exciting guy, etc), and she leaves.

My 2 cents.
