Oh, now you're going to go Machiavellian on this one? Yeah. Wow. This is Italian. This one is Mach. Machiavelli. Machiavellian. Machiavelli. I'm an INTJ with strong Machiavellian traits. Yeah. Therapy, lots of introspection, and recent events have made this abundantly clear to me. So, okay, quick pause.

For anyone who's not familiar with these Myers-Briggs, that's the test I think she's referring to, right? Myers-Briggs, yeah. These personality types, which I know Jordan has done a Skeptical Sunday about this test, it's far from perfect, but the INTJ personality type is short for Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging.

That's right. Yep. Okay. So she goes on. I crave intimacy, but I view relationships as transactional. If the emotional or financial cost outweighs the benefit, I walk away without a second thought. I've been doing this since high school with friends, family, and romantic partners. Since childhood, I've always valued my freedom and way of doing things. I loathe compromising my routines or my logic.

I also absolutely hate the rituals of dating, wasting time and money on things that I feel don't matter. Deep down, I suspect I'm not capable of loving someone just for who they are. I need a reason to like someone. As a result, I've maintained almost no deep meaningful relationships in my life.

While married, I began visiting legal brothels with my wife's consent as she, quote, "...wanted to prioritize her career over our relationship but didn't want to lose me," unquote. I enjoyed those encounters so much that I started working at one part-time myself. It suits my personality.
