Most often, advertisers will use all kinds of manipulative persuasive tactics to get you to believe you need to consume more of whatever they are selling. This has gone to the point of marketing to children and creating "little" consumers nagging mom and dad to buy the latest toy (Read "Born to Buy" by Juliet Schor). Advertising has created people feeling that they cannot be happy unless they have a "xyz" to keep up with their neighbors. Such advertisers are often referred to as sharks.
Sharks eat other sharks, including siblings while still in the mother's womb. This is in extreme contrast to dolphins, known for their teamwork and highly advanced communication skills.
People often misinterpret the concept of networking to be that of selling to anybody and everybody that they come within two feet of...with the idea of, "moving the money from the target's pockets into theirs." These are the SHARKS.
In contrast, the concept of networking carried out by VCPWN is in complete alignment with this Media Psychologist, networking is relationship building. People buy you, not your product. Even if they have no need for your service or product, if they trust you, they will refer you business. This is why this media psychologist joined VCPWN. I did not yet have a business but wanted to meet ladies and a few brave men who would be supportive in their knowledge and genuinely caring for mutual success. This is like the DOLPHINS.
Making people feel comfortable and genuine caring and empathy are critical to relationship building. Give of yourself 100 percent and expect 0, that's right, ZERO back. GENUINELY, NO STRINGS ATTACHED. If you only network with people to get what you can get out of them, you are not being genuine and people can feel that. MUTUAL WIN-WIN COMES FROM GENUINE, SINCERE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING.

Some interesting comparisons between (Sandtiger) Sharks and Dolphins are BELOW.
Sandtiger Shark (Carcharias taurus)
Two forms of within-the-womb cannibalism are known in sharks. The most extreme form of intrauterine cannibalism — in which the largest and strongest embryo actually consumes its lesser womb-mates — is termed "embryophagy" or, more colorfully, "adelphophagy" — literally "eating one's brother". It was discovered accidentally in 1948, when a researcher probing the uteri of a late-term Sandtiger Shark (Carcharias taurus) was startled by a bite on the hand. To date, adelphophagy is known only in the Sandtiger. The less extreme and by far more common form of intrauterine cannibalism — in which developing embryos feed on a steady supply of tiny, unfertilized eggs — is termed "oophagy" (sometimes called "oviphagy") — meaning "egg-eating". The earliest documented case of oophagy dates back to 1907, in the Porbeagle (Lamna nasus). Both forms of intrauterine cannibalism continue throughout embryonic and fetal development, so that at birth each pup often has a conspicuously swollen abdomen known as a "yolk stomach".
Until quite recently, intrauterine cannibalism was thought to be restricted to lamnoid sharks. This grisly form of within-the-womb nutrition is now known from two carcharhinoids and even one orectoloboid. Following is a list of all sharks in which intrauterine cannibalism has been documented, or for which exists strong circumstantial evidence: Check out this site for more info: http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/lh_intrauterine_cannibal...
Dolphins and Woman (Man)...Similarities?
A Greek moralist and biographer, Plutarch made this statement over nineteen centuries ago: "to the dolphin alone, beyond all other, nature has granted what the best philosophers seek: friendship for no advantage". 1 In our own times Barbara Tufty made the comment "he [Dolphins] also exhibits a friendly willingness to cooperate with other earth creatures -- a rare attribute which another animal, Homo Sapiens, has not yet learned to do with any consistency".2
The friendly Dolphin appears to have a well developed sense of humor and likes to play pranks. Dolphins have been known to silently maneuver behind an unsuspecting pelican and snatch its tail feathers -- usually leaving the bird minus a few. Other pranks include grabbing unsuspecting fish by the tail, pulling them backward a few feet as well as bothering slow turtles by rolling them over and over.
In 1965 Anthropologist Gregory Bateson discovered that dolphins live in social groups dominated by a leader. This tie is so strong that dolphins kept in total isolation will suffer ill health and possibly death. It has also been observed that dolphins frequently stroke each other with their flippers, hence, indicating that they require physical contact much like humans. A dolphin's skin is extremely delicate and easily injured by rough surfaces--very similar to human skin.
