Thanks for the feedback
I removed that sentence that was bothersome... I also was bugged by it but couldn't really put my finger on why. So it makes sense to remove entirely.

Re: [Skill] Socialization
In the very first paragraph, you have: "It is practiced in both a short-term (ie: immediate effect / in the moment) and long term (planning and organisation, maintaining relationships over months) manner."
I think you ought to change "months" to "cycles or arcs". Admittedly, we may want to stick with regular terminology for a skill write-up and keep it "months or years", but I think a potential spouse would hope that a long-term relationship is going to last more than a a few months.
Also, I think the ability to smooth over social gaffes should start at Expert level, or maybe even Competent, rather than waiting until Master.

Re: [Skill] Socialization
Thank you Malt.
I changed it to arcs/cycles.
I also changed the smoothing over of social gaffes to expert, to make it clear that you can accomplish as much at earlier levels. There's also a stronger version of that skill (smoothing over gaffes) at master level.
That's not to say a competent socialite wouldn't be able to try and do it, or perhaps be successful, they'd just be less effective than an expert/master.
