Op, I am not trying to sound pejorative, but if you happen to be rejected by one then you are always welcome to approach another one. You can repeat this process ad nauseum.

The mystique surrounding the book and its author have created an unrealistic expectation about what the book contains. Popular culture has basically created a reputation that the book will turn you into some sort of political/social mastermind or some sort of S tier CEO, or something along those lines. Go ahead and get rid of all of those notions, this is not to say The Prince cannot help you achieve these sorts of things, but just reading The Prince is not going to turn you into either. Part of the reason for this cult of hype is the nature of the work and time that produced it. Go ask a boomer about how explosive Watergate was, or why boomers care about Kennedy getting assassinated, 9/10 times the fundamental premise will boil down to the completely and totally different world they perceive world leaders to live in. Now take the type of reverence/outrage they elicit and amplify that exponentially to the notion that some bureaucrat would write about the mechanical nature of a leader's life and decisions in the Era before media dissemination when feudalism was still the norm and the average person still thought leaders had some kind of divine mandate and this was a widespread belief. Now you can begin to see why this book has a reputation that it will never be able to live up to for people in the 21st century where we basically expect our leaders to be as evil as possible for all intents and purposes. I would advocate reading the book, it is not lengthy and quite interesting, and does have the ability to give you insights you may not have possessed prior to reading it, but do not expect it to make you a master manipulator. If anything you will begin to see through most political charades that leaders have to undergo that are part of the process of being a leader. If you choose to partake on some sort of similar path you will inevitably find yourself thinking back to Machiavelli in the back of your head while you smile and practice politics.

I am not entirely sure why one would seek out 'femcell' literature desu. The entirety of the female mindset as it pertains to male centricity is one in which the female expects the male to initiate conversation, carry the conversation, lead the conversation, and end the conversation, and at all points contained therein wherein the male is trying to elicit something from the female, the female expects the male to make a simplex communication to this effect. Now the logical implications of this can entail such that females are incapable or seemingly not willing to communicate on the same level and that simplex communication is the only actual method by which communication can occur with a female. It can be extrapolated such in the way that the 'redpill pickup artists' interpret it wherein all communication with a female can be reduced to some sort of game in which the male tries to get what they want and nothing more and it either works or it doesn't. It can be extrapolated as such that all females are nothing more than convenient amalgamations of fuckholes and the process becomes one in which the male seemingly tries to filter out the negative value proposition females for neutral proposition females since females are incapable of being positive value propositions. It can be extrapolated in such a way that all commutation beyond simplex with a female is an inherent waste of time due to the trivial nature of the exchange. I would be shocked if femcel literature has produced anything of substantive value, but I would welcome anything of value if it does actually exist.
