Los Angeles, CA – Just in time to ease concerns during these recession-laden times, best-selling author, lecturer, and international dating guru, Tariq “K-Flex” Naed, is back with the release of his fourth tell-all book, The Art of Gold Digging, from King Flex Entertainment. Scheduled to drop on Tuesday, December 16, 2008, this book promises to unveil more secrets from Naed’s extensive repertoire of dating wisdom.
A Proven Track Record in Dating Advice
Tariq Naed is no stranger to the relationship and dating advice scene. His first book, The Art of Mackin’, published in 1999, sold over 250,000 copies and positioned him as a leading voice in the “seduction advice” community. Following this success, he released Play Or Be Played (Simon & Schuster) to help women navigate the complexities of dating as presented by men. In 2005, he published another guide for men titled The Mack Within (Penguin), further solidifying his reputation as a dating expert.
Media Appearances and Popularity
Naed’s expertise has landed him appearances on various popular television shows, including VH-1’s Charm School, MTV’s Made Twice, BET, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. His engaging approach to relationship advice even led VH-1 to finance a television pilot based on The Art of Gold Digging last spring, showcasing his unique perspective on dating.
Insights from The Art of Gold Digging
In The Art of Gold Digging, Naed addresses a common question: “How can I learn about the art of gold digging from a man?” He asserts that women cannot fully grasp the intricacies of gold digging from other women due to the inherent competitiveness among them. This insight sets the stage for the book’s valuable lessons, which include where to find wealthy men, how to dress to attract affluence, the six types of rich men, which men to avoid, and the top five cities for aspiring gold diggers.
From Humble Beginnings to Success
Born on the west side of Detroit, Michigan, Naed relocated to Birmingham, Alabama, as a child in the early 1980s. After dropping out of high school due to the unexciting social scene, he moved to Los Angeles at 17. There, he faced homelessness, spending days in public libraries and nights mingling with Hollywood street hustlers. During this transformative period, Naed immersed himself in literature, reading works by Freud, Nietzsche, Napoleon Hill, and others, ultimately developing his unique dating techniques.
Unique Techniques and Current Ventures
These techniques, dubbed “G.I.C.2” (Game, Intelligence, and Common Sense; Squared), blend street wisdom with psychological insights. Naed refers to himself as a “game advisor,” teaching these methods to both men and women in underground circles. Today, he hosts sold-out lectures and seminars nationwide and has produced an instructional DVD titled Mack Lessons. His raw and uncensored insights are also shared on his weekly radio podcast at MackLessonsRadio.com and on his YouTube channel.
