"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How Machiavellian are you?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm betting in this site would have many 95 scoring people. I'm 68, and I was iffy on many of the questions, I like to have to s a bit more faith in people. Ironically, Machivelli actually was not that cynical reading the prince, he was very pragmatic, but not as cynical media and his reputation put him out. When I read The Prince, I noted many times that while he would had bits like people would be more angry at loss property then loss family and how much he expect they will do good, he also had rather pretty positive views that he still for the good of the people. One example I can still remember is what good is being overly nice if that put the leader in a position to be overthrown and leave the town far more devastated then making a stand earlier? He was more that set up defenses against the floods the world bring than just expecting the worse or be completely heartless.

Lol all you guys that scored a 90+, you guys are PROUD of it?
And its not that hard to control the test to a 100 which begs the question are you guys REALLY 90+?
If so, most people will see right through your veneer of civility and not want to have anything to do with you. People are smart and will detect instantly that you guys will use them which will lead to ppl forming the impression that you are an opportunist leaving you guys with no friends which will then make you write another KJ/complaint post on sosuave. Am I right? =)

68, And Im Considered To Be Highly Extreme And Cruel On Subjects On My Fellow Mankind. Its A Useless Test But Take It Honestly
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If we were to control the test to 100, why didn't we? It must mean we took the test truthfully. Plus thinking about controling the test to score 100 is quite Machiavellian in its own right.DarthAngel707 said:
Saying that no one would want to be our friends is incorrect, hell, even the test at the end says invite high-machs to your next party. We're charming, we're confident, and we know how to act socially. However those who score under 40 also known as "Low-Machs" tend to be submissive and socially inept. To me that sounds like the type of people without friends. Why? Because people will always want to be friends with someone that can provide them something. High-Machs provide that, Low Machs can not. Its the driving principal behind celebrity magazines and worship. We all want to be their friends because they would provide us with something that we don't have. It has nothing to do with intelligence but much more to do with desire.
And being an oppurtunist is not a bad thing. My life is much richer than those who play it safe and don't jump on an oppurtunity. This does not make us sociopaths with no disregard for others. We just understand human nature.
And to answer your final question Darth; No, you are not right. You're wrong. It will be the Low-Machs writing the kj/complaint posts. Because these are the socially-inept people who join this community to learn from High-Machs like Kontroller X and the many others on here that I am sure are High-Machs but haven't taken this test.

79. High Mach. Incidentally the same as my current post count.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
