Ever notice?

affability often carries with it an implied undercurrent of intimidation and ultimately force.

"regionally identifiable affability" probably uniquely so. it may include an invasion of personal space and even a slightly oddly forceful physical interaction (ie. the handshake and the pull/shoulder pat and stare).

it's almost exclusively a purely sex-specific dynamic. men with men. women with women. i guess this is the same with dogs, no? same sex fight, different sex humps?

it's a vortex moment. you can feel it swirling around you. it envelops you quickly, and you know you are about to make some important decisions that you did not expect to have to make. do i want to get involved with these tough guy nitwits or not? i mean they can be a lot of fun, but you know it's a countdown until the next violent, potentially catastrophic moment. and you know it's just a matter of time until they turn their anger towards you.

generally it's best to clam up and be boring. predators are quickly bored by the boring. i mean they often won't even continue to attack prey if it stops running and/or fighting back and just plays dead.
