"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
How Machiavellian are you?

"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.

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
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
