when an ape is attacked it performs what looks like an entirely unrrelated and counter-productive gesture,lke yawnig,grooming and scratching.or it will even flirt.humans flirt when they with someone they fancy.but what about flirting at work.what about those peopple who turn on the charm with everyone in the the building?
are they corporate nymphos maniacs/probably not.
human fliting can be similar to to ape flirting signals.
apes employ flirting that is called a distraction process.
they will flirt for sex,but there flirting is also to signal submissiveness to the alphas.the flirting is full on industrial strenth too, a bit like saras when she entered the house, this is to disract the other mambers of the group from turning against her.its a ploy used to keep harmony in the work place and helps to avoid conflict.
now saras accepted in the house she has toned down her flirting albeit just enough not to threaten other members of the house.but saras has commited the cadinal sin playing with hms affections and emotions that if it was done in an ape colony the female would either be ousted or fought over by other males.,which will undo all the good work that she done when she first entered the house.so we will just have to wait and see if he subconsious behaviour has worked.
its just a theory though.

Yes, but you slightly shoot yourself in the foot with that one I'm afraid, because if its a primate response it means it is evolutionary, and henceforth individual differences do not come into play. So basically - they all do it, we all do it, everyone in the world does it. So why would that put her at an advantage? Especially since hers is blatant.

no its not an individual responce we all do it, its just that sara behaviour stands out more than anyone else.
and although maysoon walked she wasnt that popular with the majority of hms because of the lack of mixing and flirting.
the advantage that sara had that kept her in the house i believe was that she flirted with almost evrey hm including the girls and didnt single out one person with her flirting.
as i say its just a theory.

maybe its coming true now?

So what if she flirts? It doesnt make her a bad person and it certainly doesnt mean that other people can treat her in such an awful way! I am sure that everyone that posts on these forums has flirted at least once in their lives and some of those flirts would have been rejected. Did any of you start to attack the person who rejected you? If you did then the jails would be full of love rejects!!!
