The Mack Within,
By
This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

The Mack Within,

This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
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

If you've read those '90's "How To Treat A Woman" books..........,

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!

Beginner's advice...,
By
This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't understand all of the raving reviews on this book. This book contains basic but solid advice on getting your game together. As such, it's good for newbies, newly divorced guys getting their approach act together, frustrated guys who have never been successful and want to change their course, and so on. However, for those guys who already have some game down, this book adds nothing new.
Overall, this book is heavy on philosophy and descriptions and lite on actual implementation. While it's very important to have a solid inner-game, that's only half of the equation. It takes more than having confidence to have success, although that's certainly part of it. When you see that person of interest across the room, this book is of no help formulating the initial words that come out of your mouth. Likewise, if you're going after the really good-looking women who's already been approached seven times that night, there's no advice here to distinguish you from the pack. So, this book is good for guys at the beginning of their game. Else, for guys who already have some success and want to move it up to the next notch, there's a lot of better resources in the seduction community.

Hilarious...,
By Reika Nogami "miyu81" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mack Within (Paperback)
First, I am a woman and I bought this book on February 2007 for a love interest. I don't know... I was looking for a valentine's day present and was looking for something different. So I spotted that book and the cover just cracked me up. The guy's serious face, the title, the pose, the Asian girl... priceless. My boyfriend and I read it and we laughed so much... By the way, we are getting married this summer and he's the most perfect guy ever.
Now, I have to say this: the book is mostly intended for guys who are perfectly content dating weirdoes. The book offers advice on how to spot these women and get whatever they have to offer: cash and sex mostly. The book is useless to anyone interested in finding a soulmate and starting a serious relationship with someone worthy. It just perpetuates stereotypes and cliches: "money hungry chickenheads, nymphomaniac female players and daddy issues ridden women" and that's what makes the book hilarious. Now, I know there are women like that out there but that's not it. Any guy who goes out in the dating world armed only with the type of cynicism contained in this book will not find happyness as he will only attract the type of women he should stay away from. That Tariq guy is seriously messed up himself and is pretty much a man-whore who is dating women with issues worse than his.

Dating Advice in Hip-Hop Style,
By derrick "got game?" (baltimore, md) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up a copy of this book just last week. This book is pretty tight!!! The only other book that I enjoyed just as much was "Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking" by this pimp named Alan Roger Currie. That is a good read too.
But this book is written in layman's terms, and he hits so many points right on the money!!!!!! Like, for example, when women sense that you are sexually lonely or desperate, you ain't gettin' NUTHIN from them. But if they think you have a lot of other options for sexual companionship, they come in droves. Pick up this book, and Mode One, today!!!!! Get your pimp on!!!!

A former Trick's confession,
By rodog63jr (bronx, N.Y.C. N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
Back in the 1980's and 1990's, I was "captain Save-A-Ho" and all the other names Tariq gives for tricks and Squares. Basically, I was a extremely shy guy who thought I could impress women with money, frequently went to strip clubs, thought with my penis instead of my brain when it came to women, and let women in the relationships I was in control and manipulate me.
When Tariq came out with the Art of Mackin' in 2001, it opened my eyes to the world of pimps, players, and macks. It also caused me to re-examine what I belived and have learned about women from other men who I now know are tricks. The Mack Within is a revised and improved version of the Art of Mackin. This book will help you re-examine the way a man approaches and interacts with women in the club scene as well as other places. It differentiates the different types of women. It tells which women to avoid and gives guidelines on that first date, getting a women to sleep with you, and how to get a woman to bring something other than sex to a relationship. Today, both books have helped me become more confident about approaching women and helped me to avoid waste time, money and energy on the wrong women (chickenheads and gold diggers). I don't go to strip clubs anymore and have better relationships with women who choose me. This book will help you transform from a trick and a square to a player and a mack with cheese!!!

I bought three of these books. One for myself. Then, after reading it, for my son (20yrs), and for my daughter (19yrs). The information contained in this book is exactly what I wished I had known before learning the hard way. If you are aware of someone who doesn't have a father figure to run down some of the finer points of GAME, I would recommend turning them on to this book.

This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
I first became familiar with Tariq from watching him on MTV...I was amazed to find out that the whole "mack" book series has been happening for over five years,and that Tariq had a large ,almost cult-like following...Well after reading The Mack Within,I'm now a follower myself...This is by far ,the best dating/relationship book thats out on the market.

Excellent book!! Must Read!!,
By Jerome (Atlanta,GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mack Within (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a big fan of all of Tariq's work..But this time he outdid himself with The Mack Within...This book answers a lot of questions that were not in The Art Of Mackin. This is an excellent book to get if you are serious about upgrading your game.
