Release Body: Controversial dating guide The Art Of Mackin, a
book that boasted about teaching men “how to be players”,
is being re-released as an e-book exclusively on the website macklessons.com.The
Art Of Mackin’ book, written by dating expert and self proclaimed
“game advisor” Tariq Nasheed, was initially released
in 2000. It eventually became a New York Times best seller, selling
over 250,000 copies.
During its initial release, the book was condemned by some women’s
groups for being misogynistic. According to the Maroon County
News, some female students protested a scheduled lecture event
by Nasheed at Colgate University. The protesters feared the ideology
from Nasheed’s books would cause the males students to react
negatively to the females on campus.
“What’s ironic about the initial female backlash,
is that eventually, more women started buying The Art Of Mackin’
than men”, said Nasheed who has since released a dating
book for women entitled Play Or Be Played: Everything Females
Need To Know About Men Dating And Relationships (Simon and Schuster).
Nasheed has since appeared on several television shows including
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien,
and several MTV shows. He is also the host of the popular Mack
Lessons Radio Show (macklessonsradio.com).
Nasheed is currently gearing up for a lecture tour this fall called
