But yeah, like in a bar at a party, we might be flirting like a lot more.

Or if we're, you know, just trying to get something from someone.

But people hiring these dark traits, they kind of view the situation as like a moot point.

So if they're at work, all they're thinking is if I get my boss to kind of think that I'm attractive and that I'm kind of into them, then that's a way for me to step up the ladder.

Or if they're at like, oh, I don't like the supermarket or whatever, and they want someone to do something for them.

So the setting matters less for those types of people.

But there are definitely places where

It's like less socially acceptable.

Yeah, I would say pay attention to what they do after.

So if like you think a woman was really interested in you at the bar and you buy her a drink and then when you turn around, she's like gone.

She really didn't think much about you, but she really liked your wallet a little more.

Yeah, honestly, I just always enjoyed flirting with people myself.

And so I wanted to do a PhD and do research in social psychology because I just find that interesting.

And

No one really, there's not a lot of people that research flirting, but it's something that everyone does at least like a few times in their life.

So I always just found it really interesting.

And I've always been interested in what we call sexy research, which is like research that people find like very attractive and interesting.

So like no disrespect to the people who study like how many times, like how many things we can remember at once.

But yeah, I just find this stuff really interesting.

Yeah.
