How far should you go to be perceived high value? There are basic things you can do. Just as: Dont show up to group events scheduled with you. Dont answear texts. Show up unexpectedly to venues with random others.

But acting like this is far from congruent and it is in it self a manipulation game played while looking like its not. Atleast for me, right now.

The same thing goes for checking out of hotels early, becaus you just want to go home. But mask it with the tightly scheduled last minute highclass train ticket. As if you were important.

In 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene it is perfectly described in Law 3: Conceal your intentions. Where he tells a story about 17th century france where a teacher in seduction taught a young man the steps in gaining a womans attention through just this. Preceived high value.

Ofc, this was under real pressure and the planning was months ahead with each step of the plan. Which is just rediculess. But it got me thinking...

How far are you willing to go in order to be preceived high value?
