Hey, it’s your wingman Dean Cortez, back with another nuclear knowledge blast on how to take your game with women to the next level.

Many of you know me from Mack Tactics, which was one of the original programs that taught guys how to succeed with women. Tens of thousands of men from Brooklyn to Brazil, from Hollywood to Holland, have used the science of Mack Tactics to pick up girls and get laid like rock stars or, to find the high-quality girlfriends they’ve been searching for.

Whatever their goals with women were, Mack Tactics helped these guys get it handled. I receive emails every day from dudes of all ages, and from all walks of life who want to tell me about the incredible breakthroughs they’ve made with women. If you ever want to do the same, or have a question to ask, you can always reach me at deancortez@macktactics.com.

But while Mack Tactics gives you the complete step-by-step blueprint on how to improve your game, there are various specific areas which you may want to work more on. I often refer to the basketball legend Michael Jordan when I talk about mastering your dating game. He became the greatest player to ever step on the hardwood not because he performed the most spectacular dunks, or could be counted on to sink three-pointers in the final moments of crucial games.

He did all of those things (and made it look easy), but he’s known as the greatest of all time because he was the ultimate complete player.

He won awards as the best Defensive player in the league, while at the same time scoring more points-per-game than anyone. It didn’t matter whether it was a meaningless regular-season game, or Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Jordan never took a night off, and if there was an area of his game where he was anything less than the best, he focused on strengthening it.

For a lot of guys, their “weak area” is the approach.  Before I developed my game, this was definitely a weak area for me. I had confidence in other areas; once I’d gotten to know a girl, I could be clever, funny and express myself. I could hold an interesting conversation, and I had a wide range of knowledge. The challenge, for me, was meeting new women. I just didn’t feel comfortable walking up to a pretty girl who I didn’t know, and trying to start a conversation.

When I did approach, it was usually at bars, clubs or parties, where I’d sucked down plenty of “liquid courage” (i.e. alcohol) and threw caution to the wind.

But these approaches rarely led to anything. Even why I did “open” conversations successfully, I didn’t really know where to take it from there. The conversation would soon run out of steam and regress to “small talk” superficial chit-chat that didn’t help me make any real progress.

Well, if you read the original Mack Tactics book you know the remarkable journey that I ended up going on.

I befriended a Hostage Negotiator who taught me the most advanced verbal and communication skills as well as how to “bond” with a person in the quickest and most effective ways possible and I integrated these tactics into my interactions with women.

The result was the Mack Tactics system, which has been tweaked and improved over the past five years not only by myself, but by some of the most legendary pickup artists in the game. Today, I can say with confidence that it’s the most complete system ever put together for guys who want to become highly successful with women.
