Imagine the zebras and grazing on the African plains. A person walks into the water hole, looks around and bows his head. Almost immediately on the grass rustling. Which of these ideas is experiencing the zebra's brain:
a] Oh, this is just the wind! No paranoia is required.
b] Oh, it looks like it might be a lioness. . . I better not be rude, otherwise she will eat me!
c] If I don't make eye contact with the lioness, she won't notice me!
d] If I run and it is not a lioness, other zebras will make fun of me.
The correct answer is [e] none of the above. Any zebra with this idea will be removed from the gene bank at a very young age.
However, the human brain is far more complex than the zebra. When faced with human predators, all these ideas, and even more, may run through one's mind.
Fortunately, our brains still operate in a survival mode. Our senses constantly receive data and process it, and we don't realize it has anything to do with it. When the senses notice some discomfort, those parts of the brain send signals to the body. You have an intuition that the hair behind your neck is standing up, you are nervous or upset, but you can't explain the reason exactly. We call this intuition. Your senses tell your body that there may be a lioness, so look! The part of your brain prepares your body to deal with imminent threats. Some of these preparations are increasing your adrenaline and other exciting chemicals, redirecting your blood flow and changing your sense of time and space.
The human predator gave up his own kind of rustling in the grass. These are tricks, manipulations and boundary tests. The human predator seems to deceive or disperse his prey, preferably into killing.
The vast majority of women who were beaten recognized that something was wrong, but they ignored their intuition. Some people don't want to be inappropriate, or rude, or embarrassed or wrong. Others really want to help. They all gave someone the suspicion of the benefits. Therefore, they make predators too close and choose fewer options to protect their safety.
