我觉得真的完全不用想这么多，因为关系近不近有时是很模糊的。
你记住这一条规则，基本上都适用的（在那个句子没其它绝对错误的情况下）：in general, you don't use so ADJ as to VERB unless the VERB describes some sort of state/condition. i.e., if the verb is an action verb, this construction generally isn't used.

而Joe bought a gym membership so as to become more attractive to women. 这里之所以用so as to ，是因为become它并不是一个action verb，而是 linking verb，就像 be、feel、get、turn。。。。更倾向于一种状态。。。。

我错了~~ 刚刚查到
so as to= in order to
so ... as to 如此... 以致

我以前还一直以为so as to 后面只有跟情态动词才表目的呢~~ （

）

但是so that 的确是只有在后面是情态动词时才表目的。

谢谢你指出来呀~~

我总结来，总结去，觉得和 so as to比较， so that有两个好处：1.明确主语；2.配合情态动词能够更准确表达自己意思。
