oiling Stone recently sent a reporter who was a total square out
here to Los Angeles to do a feature story on me. He was looking for
insight into my lifestyle, my success, and the whole mack sub culture of the
streets, but he also wanted to test me to see if I lived up to my reputation of
being able to turn any man into a mack. That's right, this dude wanted to
hang with me for a week to see if I could give him a Mack Makeover.
Now when I say this reporter was square, I mean he was a total square.
It's easy for me to teach people in the young, urban demo graphic,
because most of them are at least somewhat familiar with the game. But
here I was dealing with a square, middle-aged white guy who looked like an
insurance salesman. He looked like the adult version of Harry Potter.
And it was now my job to turn Clark Kent into Supermack.
The first thing I needed to do was to get his tools together. I
took him to one of my favorite clothing spots to get him some new

gear. The whole mackin' world was so new to him that he was liter ally
trembling with nervousness as he was trying on his new clothes.
Next, we rolled around town while I broke the game down to him. I gave
him the basics of the mackin game, and he was soaking it all up like a
sponge. The reporter told me that he had been divorced for about four years
after twenty years of marriage. He admitted that he knew absolutely nothing
about the current dating scene, let alone how to approach a woman. So I
schooled him on the rules of the game, and later on that night, we set out to
go to the club. This club was one of the hottest spots in Los Angeles. I knew
that a lot of top- notch females liked to hang there, so I brought some of my
best mack partners with us.
Now I will admit, it did look kind of odd to have five young black guys
and one middle- aged white guy hanging out at the club together. We told
the reporter that people are going to think that he is our probation officer.
But the vibe was cool, and he realized that he was in good hands with us.
In the club, the reporter does everything that I tell him to do. He carries
himself the way I tell him. And to his surprise, females were coming up
to him starting conversations. Throughout the night, we saw the reporter
interact ing with different females, exchanging numbers, the whole nine.
He was shocked to see that females there were so receptive to him. He
didn't know he had it in him to pull women like that. He told me that he was
now a believer. All I did was tap into his mack w i t h i n .

for you.
The Mack Within is a book designed to help men live up to their
full mack potential. Let's face it: Most men would love to have the game and
confidence to get not only any type of female he wants, but also to achieve any
goal he wants to in life. And despite the ma cho, "I-don't-need-no-help"
facade that many men hide behind, the reality is, a lot of guys are frustrated
from not getting the results they really want out of dating.
The first thing a potential mack has to understand is that the mackin'
game isn't about ego or emotions. It's about logic. You have to mack from
your mind, not from your heart. If you are the type of cat who is emotionally
driven, and you insist on getting your heart involved with every female you
meet, this book isn't for you. If you are one of those masochistic guys who
secretly enjoys being played like a sucker by females, this book isn't for
you. If you are one of those guys who is proud to
