RE: What is it with men and thrill seeking?
For me it was learning when it was appropriate to use apparent aggression. Learning my limits was essential when I was less than three feet tall. I don't mind aggression, it is how life continues. I just had to learn for myself what kind of aggression I am good at.
The brain is full of inhibitory systems, at least as many as there are systems for positive action.
very much so! we need to keep out fingers out of the electric socket LOL
I think that's why I'm concerned with personality as a cause; nature, nurture, personal experience, peer pressure, etc etc...all cooking up an individual who doesn't always react the way the textbook says he should
how about this example?
a guy with a self-confidence at exactly 50% asks a chick out
she says yes, his confidence goes up, the next chick is more likely to say yes to him, and so on, and he ends up womanizing for s&g's
she says no, he is shaky asking the next chick out, she also says no, and the self-reinforcing cycle forces him into a life of dungeons and dragons (j/k, I used top play d&d, ans I did see a naked woman, once LOL)
Many worlds.
