"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.
How Machiavellian are you?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

“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.
