Rule number 10: Don't trust a woman who won't perform oral sex on you.
This is Tariq Nasheed. He's a douche bag.
And this is Greg. He's a player hater.
I don't know if I want to laugh till I crap myself or shoot myself in the face because this book exists.
This is a book for people who find most of the other 'game' books to be too sophisticated. Want to know how to impress a "Diamond" girl (ie., a girl with money and smarts)? Answer: Read a geography book because she probably likes to travel. What kind of girls should you avoid? A: Cubic Zirconia ones. But how to you pick one out? Well they weigh on average between 140 and 300 lbs, have had more than one abortion, probably around 3 to 4 on average and have a couple of kids. Stay the fuck away from those bitches. As a mack, you've got to respect your dick, and you just don't go sticking it into anything that moves.
Want to know the two things women respect in you? A: One, your game (ie., your lying fake facade and bullshit 'alpha'-male crap), and Two, your sperm so they can make little babies that are as mack as you are.
If this was a humor book I'd think it was kind of offensive and racist but also funny. But I don't think this is supposed to be humorous. What saddens me is that there are between seventeen and nineteen people who have bought this book from the store in the past year, and at least more than half of them I'm sure bought this with the intention of learning from it. I figure the other half are assholes like me who revel in reading the most illiterate shit imaginable, or hipsters who find this kind of thing ironic (I find nothing ironic in my wallowing in the muck of our society's intellectual wastelands... I just do it to kill and budding optimism I might happen to feel growing in me about the future of the human race.)
One can't see it too clearly here on goodreads. But the ugly woman on the cover of this book (who I'm guessing is mighty trustworthy), looks as if she has recently been hit pretty hard on the side of her head. Her cheek looks like the start of what will be a pretty nasty bruise. I think she got hit with the pimp glass the douche bag author is holding (note to self, go to that place at the mall that puts your name on metal goblets (Fine Impression?), and get goblet made up, and then stop off at the craft store for rhinestone's to decorate the goblet with).
I actually don't have too much more to say about this book. I really just wanted to share rule number 10 with all the good folks on goodreads, especially the men who might have been spreading their trust around like a dirty ho without getting their knob spit shined first.

just read this in the span of an hour instead of doing my homework. might be the funniest book ever

This book was definitely interesting to read. It is always helpful to gain new perspectives on life. A favorite quote of mine from this book is "In order to be a leader, you must be worthy of being followed.
Another good analogy that Tariq Nasheed expounds upon in this book is the symbolism of the lion and the Egyptian culture:
The Egyptians patterned their relationships after the patriarchal structure of the lion kingdom. The male lion has long been considered the king of the jungle. The male lion is one of the most respected and feared animals in the wild. And what does the male lion do? He chills, for the most part.
The male lion doesn't have to prove his dominance at all times. The male lion sleeps through most of the day, and yet he's the most respected animal in the jungle. The male lion also has a number of female lions that do his work for him. The female lion does all the hunting. Teh female lion raises the cubs. After the female lion makes a kill, she won't even eat before the male lion has had his fill.
Anyways, a good read. For more information on Tariq Nasheed, go to: http://www.macklessons.com/

I read this book and it changed my life. Finally someone articulating something that I always knew, but didn't have a language for or an outlet to further define it. Tariq Nasheed is a great author. He has also done some outstanding films, such as hidden colors 1 and 2. He does a weekly podcast radioshow that comes on weekly on the internet, and you can find it by googling macklessonsradio.com. On his show he covers a variety of informative topics for brothers, from whats going on in the news internationally to politics and the economy, as well as racism. He doesn't just talk about "Mackin" women, as a lot of cliche' people assume at first glance. I highly recommend all of his books. This is the only one that I own, but my goal is to own and read all of them.

One of the funniest books I’ve read. At one point he recommends lying to women, telling them you just purchased multiple Popeyes Chicken franchises in the area to get pussy in what he has dubbed “The Bold Faced Lie Method”.

I think this book is for ones who need to learn how to have confidence in themselves and how to evaluate a women and her environment. Many men especially during this age and time don't know how to maintain a healthy relationship with women and don't know how to spit there game at top notch women so they settle.This book is an eye opener with ten rules for men to follow to better themselves and there relationship.

Amongst other pearls of wisdom, from the sub-chapter "Value Your Dick", King Flex has these words: "As a mack you just don't stick your dick up in any broad."

Humorous and educational at the same time. Tariq Nasheed pulls no punches.

I believe everyman should have this in his collection. This is a playbook for anybody who wants to understand "the Game" and how to win.

Great read...
This book refreshes your mind on a lot of things that some should already know. But for the ones that never knew, it's a good map on the way of the world 🌎.

Absolutely enjoyed reading this book, confidence applied

Tariq delivers in his sequel book. His writing uses a lot of slang but don't let that distract you from the mack wisdom he delivers. It's a quick read that is filled with a lot of hilarious passages. Remember to respect yourself, King.
December 11, 2011
The vocabulary is decidedly urban colloquial and that may turn away some readers but that would a mistake. This book gives meaning to "don't judge a book by it's cover". I agree with a lot of what Tariq says, though perhaps the way he expresses his message may turn away a more conservative reader. I believe knowledge can be found in the most unusual of places and I found this book to be useful in the sense that it exposes the way some women operate w some men react. The book offers a compelling spin on relationships and I found the knowledge that comes from Tariq's empirical experience of value.
