I cant understand why tricks read books intended for macks!!!! If you are a manipulative female...then this book is not for you. If you are one of those guys that sings sweet love songs outside the window of the girl you are stalking....then this book is NOT for you. If you are one of these guys that pays for drinks for any and every girl that pays you the slightest bit of attention....then this book is really not for you although YOU should read it.

In an age where femininity has been marketed and bought by the masses, its good to see a self-help book from a guy that isnt queer or suspect. This book is for men who are ready to take a more active role in their dating situation. Men who have tried the "love them til they see you are the right one to be with" technique and seen its destructive forces at work in their life. Men if you want to be with dime women...be a dime man! I like the fact that K-Flex talked more about bettering yourself in this book. I liked how he talked about men who grew up with single mothers and it has affected some men to believe that they shouldnt be in the dominant position in the relationship. K-Flex, nor I for that matter, mean dominant in a violent way. The marketing of femininity has made that word just as dirty as f?@K! What he is talking about here is men who shouldnt settle for a girl who is subpar by your own standards. Mr. Nasheed does imply that certain women are not attractive but one should understand that those are his own standards...he uses himself as a point of reference. I dont agree with some of his comments about some women...I like them thick..not morbidly obese or a walking medical emergency. The women that he has on the cover are not all that attractive to me. Both of these women should put carbs back in their diet as far as I am concerned. But to be a mack that implies that one lives life based on his own standards and not those of others. Readers take note of that. If your version of a dime is a woman that looks like a fruit bat with a weave (that was hilarious) then go hang upside down in a cave....DO YOU!! As far as some of these negative reviews are concerned; does it strike you odd that the worst review came from a woman? This is a good book...worth a read but dont be put off by Mr. Nasheed's point of reference nor his or any of the editing staff to know that they misspelled Issey Miyake.

I ordered this book to keep up on my knowledge of "game" and this book did not disappoint. It was filled with information that would keep anyone, in the dating scene, on their toes. I have read the book cover to cover and continue to read it to ensure, I stay on my toes. I recommend this book to anyone, man or woman, who is still in the dating scene. It is not a pimp book of any sort. But an informative book on how to look at people as a whole to choose the right person with whom you are compatible. And always remember, "Never take anyone, at face value!" Because everyone has an agenda. NEO_SOUL_06

5.0 out of 5 stars If you've read those '90's "How To Treat A Woman" books.........., May 25, 2006

If you've read any of those '90's "How To Treat A Woman" books and you've turned into a doormat for some thankless ho it's time to read The Mack Within!
This book tells you how to really treat a woman, regardless of how they think they want to be treated.
I used to have tight game until I decided I wanted to settle down and get married. I read a few books on relationships and how to shower your woman with gifts and praise, and be a sensitive guy...........BS!!! Well ladies, the mack is back!
And some of you fellas' ... if you're wondering why you have a lot of female friends but ain't seeing no action..... read this book.
PS: I don't know why Tariq had those stank's pose with him on the covers of this book. They are fives or sixes at best. Don't let that affect your decision to buy this book. The info inside is worth it's weight in gold pinky rings!
