Machiavellians are known for being charismatic and attractive, particularly in short-term social interactions. Given Machiavellians' natural tendency to manipulative others for their own advantage and the fact that they rarely experience any guilt from it, Machiavellians are both dangerously charming and charmingly dangerous.

In line, research has shown that, for men (effects are much weaker for women), Machiavellianism is linked to more open, promiscuous and hostile sexual attitudes, as well as a variety of self-serving deceptive tactics such as cheating, divulgating intimate secrets to third parties, and even inducing intoxication to secure sex.

If you'd like to find out how Machiavellian you are and what your relationship style is, just take my test.
