If you exchange numbers and she calls you first, it’s an excellent sign. But again, don’t make yourself available for a long chat. The message you want to send is that you were i in the middle of something, but you’re willing to set aside a few minutes for her. This tactic is one of the proven  M.A.C.K. strategies that…

“I was ordering dessert when they were eating dinner. When they were having coffee, I was asking for a check. I had business.” -Ray Liotta, Goodfellas A Mafia boss once said that every time he put a phone to his ear, he treated it like he had a gun to his head. He spoke calmly, with authority, but he chose his words…

Though you’re willing to listen (briefly) about her exes, the rule of thumb is that you should never go into details about your own. Talking about your prior relationships is like stumbling through a minefield. She’ll ask why you broke up with your ex (women always want to know this), and no matter how it ended it’s usually difficult to…

Women have a tendency to talk at length about their prior relationships, especially the ones that ended badly. (Even if it didn’t end badly, women still love to play up every past relationship as a big melodrama.) While this is not a topic you should allow her to dwell on, you need to know how to react if it comes…

The more time you spend listening, the less chance you will say the wrong thing. Give a guy enough rope, and he’ll usually hang himself. We can guarantee that you’ve done this at least once and not realized it: ruined a “sure thing” by saying something that suddenly cooled off a woman’s attraction to you. We’ve heard a lot of…

A standard question women will ask is, “So what do you do?”(Especially if you’re in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, where people tend to be career-oriented.) As a Mack, you’re not the average guy. This means you don’t give standard answers to standard questions. You should always put an original spin on things and maintain a…

Be careful about “baiting questions” that women may ask you. Females have crafty tactics of their own and might slip in an innocent-sounding question in an attempt to expose a chink in your armor. If you give the wrong answer, it may extinguish any interest she has in you. A common baiting question women ask is, “So how come you don’t…

Some guys trigger all kinds of “red flags” when they talk to women, and never realize where they went wrong. Have you ever been on a date that you thought went well, and even though you didn’t hook up at the end of the night, you figured there was a serious possibility that she would become your next girlfriend? But…

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie This convo is how it all begins. It’s the delicate dance in which the Mack presents himself in the best possible light, gets a read on this woman he’s…

Negotiators constantly use Creative Phrasing with hostage takers. One example is how a Negotiator will never use the word “gun.” in the conversation. Instead of saying, “I need you to lower that gun,” he’ll say “I need you to lower that thing.” Why? Because the word “gun” carries violent connotations that might make the hostage taker more excitable. Calling it a…
