What is Machiavellian behavior?

Being a Machiavellian individual means that you have the ability to see more than the normal person. You’re able to see what motivates people, you’re able to see the most minor of movements in the body, hands, and face and these movements tell you things the person doesn’t want you to know. The Machiavellian man is able to see exactly where he fits in the machine of daily life and because he can see his place as well as that of everyone else, he is able to see exactly what he has to do to get to wherever it is he needs to go.

Machiavellian men are capable of getting women to fall in love with them and are able to just walk away leaving her shattered in pieces while he feels nothing as she was not a thing more than a means of passing the time or getting a need met.

Machiavellian men often find themselves in positions of control. In The Prince for example, you will find the origins of Machiavellianism and an introduction to how you can get yourself into a positon of power with others both personally as well as professionally. It teaches you to base your actions on the practical aspects rather than the moral or ideological considerations a majority of people are restrained by.

What place does Machiavellian behavior have in marriage?

Understanding the nature of your woman is a skillset every man should have. Understanding the inner workings of her mind is certainly a skill a man should have if he plans to get the most that the relationship has to offer. Similar to way a Machiavellian man can work himself to a position within his organization, he can also work his marriage to where he gets his exact needs met.

This means a man can understand the motivators, needs, and weaknesses of his wife and exploit them to achieve his end goal, whatever that may be.

For me, I have used these techniques to get my wife to delete her Facebook, take up painting, become a submissive woman, and I’ve created a sex life without boundary. All of these actions my wife has taken, she thinks she has done them of her own accord. To a degree she has, but her decision to take that course of action was reached through my guidance and direction.

The term manipulation has a negative connotation to it; regardless of the political correctness of the term it’s exactly what a husband must employ if he wants total control of his marriage. This isn’t just to the benefit of the man, my wife is happier than she has ever been in her life. I am completely satisfied with my woman and we both raise our children with the same focus on raising them right and not having them turn out like the undisciplined and unappreciative little shits most children have become in this day and age.

This didn’t just happen, my marriage is a part of the exception because I implemented Machiavellian techniques to reach the position of power and trust I needed to in order to have direct the control over the marriage.

Where will this help you in your marriage?

Machiavellian strategies will help you gain control in whatever aspect of your marriage you want. If it’s sex, joy, submission, or finances that you are looking to take charge of all you need to do is cater your behavior to dominating that area.

This is different from ‘unplugging’ as when you become RP aware, you are deciding that you are going to live life as a masculine man. When you implement a Machiavellian approach to your marriage, it can be done independent of embraced masculinity. Hypothetically, you could implement Mach behavior and have your wife giving you great sex without ever following The Red Pill’s guide to getting sex from embraced masculinity.

To make it clear, in marriage the goal is to get your wife to genuinely desire you inside her. Having your wife fuck you out of the manipulation of Machiavellian techniques does not provide the same degree of satisfaction. The best implementation, in my opinion, can be found in the combination of both embraced masculinity along with strategic Machiavellian tactics.

I entered my marriage in my frame. The masculine and feminine roles were defined and there was never a need to implement ‘RP’ as I was naturally an RP aware guy, I just didn’t know it had a name. I don’t include this to stroke my ego but rather to inform you that I do not have first-hand experience dealing with the combination of both Mach behavior as well as implementing TRP. I believe my theory is sound, but as with everything, you should use your own judgement when applying these techniques and catering your approach accordingly.

Something to keep in mind when shifting the frame of the relationship is that you will meet resistance from your wife who has become accustomed to your supplicating behavior. Once you stop asking for permission to exist and act, your wife will become quite irritable and increase the frequency and intensity of the shit tests she sends your way.

The period of time which follows from your implementation of both masculine and Machiavellian behavior is a critical one as you must remain committed to the program, regardless of how intense it gets.

She will submit to your lead so long as you show you’re a high value male who will elevate her status. If you are capable of properly implementing the Machiavellian strategy listed in the links in the blog, you’ll be able to buy yourself time which will bridge the gap of when you’re faking it till you make it, to when you truly and genuinely make it.

These strategies can be used to improve every facet of your marriage. You can manipulate your girl to doing whatever it is you need and if done properly you can lead both her and yourself to positions where you are the King and Queen which every other relationship is being compared.

The goal is to set the standard; so do what you must to set the standard from which all others men and marriages are measured.

I haven't read up on the Machiavellian man yet. I do plan to.

That being said, from what I gather through comments over the last year is that the Machiavellian man has a certain lack of empathy...insomuch as they do what they want for themselves and care less or not at all about the impact that action has on someone else. They aren't idiotic in that they aren't aware of what they're doing to theur target...but don't place weight on it to influence their decision.

 

What I'm going to try to figure out from the readings is: People will often do things for someone at their own detriment for some reason that the MM has exploited. But I would imagine that people are not completely moldable in all things and that the MM's actions can detriment himself when that person realizes the manipulation and/or starts to actively resist.

In other words the path you walk you walk alone...but if you take it too far and don't execute that feedback loop of empathy, it may push those you wish to manipulate away...or maybe it doesnt? Will be looking in the text for this answer.

This is a very astute observation, seeing this tendency to go all in on removal of empathy is not the suggestion, but rather the ability to do so is.

You need to care at the right times and not care at others, it's your job to know when to do that.

With your wife for example, you need to know when to ignore her shit tests and when you need to face it head on. You need to know when to mate guard and when to ignore, you need to know when to make a decision for the family without total agreement and when you need to listen to the council.

All of this comes together in a result that not only propels you and places you in the best position to succeed but it also places your family in the best position to thrive as well.

Thing is, a Machiavellian approach is not to lack empathy, but to do what is understood to be needed despite it. Lacking empathy would help.

Having said that, doing things that others see as stemming from empathy is also Machiavellian. What we are talking about is solely controlling and utilizing the perception of others for your own good. Where "your own" good includes wife, kids, parents, or your dogs, that is when you are doing the Family Alpha thing. Otherwise you are doing the Alpha thing. But that is not TFA's soap box.

Read the book. It's online in PDF for free. I read it on the plane home from Vegas. Reminds me of Art of War.

I also read it on a plane (From Bahrain not Vegas)

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
