This interesting article omits one important factor that has a strong bearing on status interactions. I’m referring to self-esteem. for example, if I’m at a party and find one of the women incredibly attractive, my natural tendency is to ignore her because as much as I’d like her attention, it seems like such a long shot to even get eye contact, that I automatically assess the whole thing as not worth the energy or time.
