But people hiring these dark traits, they kind of view the situation as like a moot point.

So if they're at work, all they're thinking is if I get my boss to kind of think that I'm attractive and that I'm kind of into them, then that's a way for me to step up the ladder.

Or if they're at like the supermarket or whatever and they want someone to do something for them.

So the setting matters less for those types of people.

But there are definitely places where

It's like less socially acceptable.

Yeah, I would say pay attention to what they do after.

So if like you think a woman is really interested in you at the bar and you buy her a drink and then when you turn around, she's like gone.

She really didn't think much about you, but she really liked your wallet a little more.

Yes.

So you're not alone in that regard.

Well, it's really similar to physical fitness, except for applied to social relationships.

It's the idea that we should take a proactive and intentional approach to our social relationships and build those relationships intentionally.

Well, I will say a good start is to actually commit to your relationships.

And by relationships, I mean all types of relationships.

So that can include intimate others.

It can include your neighbors and coworkers.

It can include strangers.
