1) Do have an answer for everything/Don't ever be at a loss for words. A basic rule of the mackin' game is to never be at a loss for words. To a mack, his verbal skills are his ammunition. When, or if, any situation comes up, you should be able to say the right thing at the right time to rectify the situation. Having a loss of word shows guilt, plus it makes you look stupid to the female. As a great player once told me. "If you run out of words, you run out of game."
2) Do have platonic female friends/Don't try to date every woman you know. As I stated before, you are not going to be compatible with every woman you meet. Some women are going to have a different agenda than yours. If a female is looking for a brother to help pay some of her bills, no matter how good you look, or how tight your game is, if you're not tricking off any money, she's not interested in a relationship with you. In cases like this, don't blow her off completely. Just put her in the "platonic" zone. As a platonic friend, she can hook you up with her other friends, all the while giving you the 411 on them.
3) Do carry yourself like a real man at all times/Don't act overly emotional or overly sensitive. One of the biggest complaints women have about men is that many of them don't have any backbone. Too many men are acting emotional and overly sensitive with women. And when they do, women often accuse these men of "acting like bitches." As a mack, you let your emotions remain a mystery, and always keep your composure. As a mack, you should generally have a nonchalant attitude. Your demeanor should basically be casual and unconcerned. This will keep women intrigued and trying to figure out what your feelings are and what you are thinking. However, women will lose that intrigue if you reveal your feelings by acting overly emotional or jealous.
Jealousy is a sign of insecurity. Many times, women will test your "jealousy meter" to see how you will react. If a woman says something like "There's this guy at work that likes me," or "My 'ex' called, and he wants me to meet him for a drink. What should I do?" or something of that nature, it's a test. You have to let her know that you are so confident with yourself, and your game is so tight, it would be ridiculous for her to even think of stepping to the next man. Your demeanor is that you really don't care what she does, and at this point she will put herself in check. But you should never rant, rage and act jealous, because a female will then consider you a "buster."
4) Do learn how to read women/Don't assume you know everything about women. The only people that come close to knowing almost everything about women are seasoned macks and seasoned pimps. (Many women don't know everything about themselves.) A lot of untrained, aspiring macks step to women thinking they know everything, and then end up getting played. A lot of brothers think that mackin' is just stepping to women and spitting out a bunch of cliche pickup lines. This is how you get dissed.
