Social interaction is fight or flight. The other person is thinking about whether to eat you, fuck you, or otherwise exploit you.

Ours is a transactional society.

I can do that in small quantities. Though buddy indicates you've already negotiated a relationship in which one isn't food for the other.

Hypothetically, we're supposed to be civilizations of good neighbors, so that I, Californian can trust any New Jerseyite or Alabaman not to take advantage if I'm a sexy young person in the dark of night needing a lift home. But we suck at crews of more than fifty or so people.
