Go to an event, concert, comedy club, nightclub and you will see people adapting to their social environment. Beyond basic social courtesies and customs I'm talking about the types of relationships that now exist that weren't necessarily there before.

It changes people's behavior because they adapt to certain environmental stimuli. Women are well known to change their behavior patterns drastically based on different environments and different stimuli.

Men are often just pretty much confused.

What else do those venues have in common besides being places where people can be together? And do you think it would help create new relationships or actually kind of prevent them from happening? (I'll talk about that another time).

In those types of environments (where it isn't 'open interdependence' as I call it), there is always a social hierarchy as well as a relationship to the mass majority of people.

This relationship is that of stimulus-response.

You see, anytime that there is a stimulus, people will generally respond and submit to the authority of that lead figure. They will adapt their own behavior to be 'led' by that stimulus.

Hand-clapping is the most common one. Other 'commands' are, 'get up', 'stand up', 'you can sit down', 'wave your hands from side to side', 'can i getta', 'just throw your hands in the air like this', 'hug someone', 'meet some people', 'wave', 'applause', 'all rise' etc.

On a side note; the level of congruency and independent strength that authority figure has often determines the level of the crowd's receptivity and response.

The stimulus has the power of social status and the leverage of social proof. As long as they are adding value and pleasing the people (synergy) in some form, the people will grant that person continued authority.

Yet without knowing it they are being ever so subtly controlled and even conditioned by these authority figures. Since the stimuli has leveraged social power, he or she has a great power of influence.

The reason why concerts and seminars are almost ALWAYS successful is because of the stimulus-response type relationship that exists between the authority stimuli and the crowd response.

The 'people' just aren't aware of any other reality because they only see what is being programmed and sent down to them. In a S-R relationship (like talk radio) there is no room for a person to think independently.

This hidden type of power has been used by politicians, entertainers and speakers for centuries. Media is powerful and influential because of the stimulus-response type relationship.

And when in the midst of other people who are also in the response end of the relationship, people will usually slip into a 'don't rock the boat' mentality.

'If everyone else is doing it, I don't want to be the one to stand out'.

So people will find themselves clapping to things they don't truly believe in. I never do and I don't care if everyone else is clapping around me. I keep my power for myself because I know what is really going on.

The power the stimulus has over you is almost invisible in that type of relationship because you do only see and hear what is directly being brought down.

It's an independent 'channel' of communication that your brain is focusing on and finds it very difficult to tune out. And because this is all you can see and know, you will often just believe it to be true even though it may not be.

This further influences people to adapt their behavior to their environment.

Look at cult leaders and how they win over the people. They'll submit to someone's authority and adapt their behavior in that social environment until they end up (hopefully) realizing how far away they've come from being the person they used to be.

I encourage you to be cognitive of the TRUE relational dynamics that exist.

Don't let someone's social status throw you off. The answer is to retain interdependent, win/win or equal exchange of value relationships at ALL times.

It takes strength to be the one to stand apart from the crowd but if you don't believe in something, don't feel like you have to 'fit in' just to not rock the boat because maybe the boat could use some rocking and the speaker is just misleading everyone else.

Learn to see through it. When you can retain your independence in relation to other sources of power and all people, you should be able to understand the truth of social dynamics and how it influences people to adapt to their environment and change your behavior.

Social adaptive behavior is why women are not natural anymore.

Their environment is that of the social matrix of influence. It's power is in the stimulus-response relationship of authority and unknowingly submission or conditioning effect upon the masses who have adapted to the consciously derived system.

If you want the most success with women you have to see them for who they really are. You will fail going up against the leverage of social power they wield and it's what society wants you to do so that they keep making more money off of your repression but it's not what women really want despite the great irony of it.
