Does Social Intuition Exist?

I have no social intuition. That's not necessarily to say I have no social knowledge, only that most such knowledge has been acquired by being socially punished. But that makes me wonder: what about people who are not punished. Do they ever learn anything?

I was thinking about this while watching the movie The Housemaid on DVD.

I suppose the movie is a perfectly adequate representative of its genre, but otherwise not especially compelling as a story. Everything that happens strikes me as both obvious and contrived, including things that should happen and don't, like grown-up communicating. So I may be guilty of over-analyzing a merely frame-setting scene like the one above, but let me run with it nonetheless.

Were I to walk into my TV room and find a woman-not-my-wife using it, I would leave immediately. And the reason is not because I think that were I to sit down then something something and adultery happens. It's not even because I think Mrs. Phi would get jealous (though at some threshold this might be true). It's because this is sufficiently close to any number of situations in which I was socially punished. Put another way, I have costs and priors.

But . . . what if I had gone through life looking like Brandon Sklenar? Or if your prefer, what if I had gone through life as the kind of person Brandon Sklenar is portraying in this movie? It's hard to imagine a girl ever punished him for sitting on her couch. He might have provoked jealousy from some other woman with a superior claim to his couch-sitting, which could count as a social punishment of a sort, but he could have glided past that as here, no clear lesson learned. He also might have had the experience of sitting on a couch and the girl straight-up assaults him; I don't know how often that actually happens or whether the recipient would count it as punishment, but I would think it ought to at least make him wary going forward.

But it's obvious that attractive people have their own costs and priors and those are very different than mine. Does that affect how they would they handle this situation, or is it all intuition? How do they believe they should handle it, and why?
