Navigating the world of dating and relationships can often feel like a high-stakes game. For men looking to elevate their approach, Tariq Nasheed, the bestselling author and renowned “Game Advisor,” offers a no-nonsense guide in his book The Elite Way: 10 Rules Men Must Know in Order to Deal With Women. Nasheed’s straightforward advice cuts through the noise of political correctness, providing men with actionable strategies to master the art of dating and maintaining healthy relationships.
Here are 10 essential rules from Nasheed’s book that every man should know:
1. Get Confidence from Within
True confidence isn’t about flashy cars or expensive clothes—it comes from within. Nasheed emphasizes that real self-confidence is built through self-trust, knowledge, and integrity. When you trust yourself and your abilities, women will naturally be drawn to your energy.
2. Exercise Your Game Muscle
Your “game muscle” is your ability to communicate effectively. In today’s digital age, many men rely too heavily on texting and social media, losing touch with the art of verbal conversation. Nasheed advises men to practice their communication skills regularly to stay sharp and engaging.
3. Don’t Confine Yourself
Limiting yourself to one geographic location or type of woman can hinder your dating success. Nasheed encourages men to expand their horizons, travel, and meet women from different backgrounds. This not only broadens your perspective but also makes you more intriguing to women.

4. Have a Jekyll and Hyde Mentality
In relationships, it’s important to balance being kind and assertive. Nasheed suggests adopting a “Jekyll and Hyde” mentality, where you can switch between being gentle and firm as needed. This keeps your partner on her toes and ensures you maintain respect in the relationship.
5. Block the Transfer of Frustration
Women often project their frustrations onto their partners. Nasheed advises men to recognize when this is happening and to block it defensively. By staying calm and not engaging in petty arguments, you can maintain peace of mind and control in the relationship.
6. Do Not Tolerate Disrespect
Respect is the foundation of any successful relationship. Nasheed outlines seven levels of disrespect, from subtle comments to outright infidelity, and stresses the importance of addressing disrespect early. Allowing disrespect to escalate can lead to dangerous situations.
7. Avoid the Hen-Pecked Dynamic
Being hen-pecked—constantly nagged or dominated by your partner—can erode your self-esteem and masculinity. Nasheed warns against falling into this trap and encourages men to maintain their independence and leadership in relationships.
8. Don’t Define Yourself by Your Relationships
Your identity should never be tied solely to your relationship. Nasheed explains that men who define themselves through their partners often lose their individuality and self-worth. Instead, focus on your personal growth and goals.
9. Accept When It’s Over
Not every relationship is meant to last. Nasheed advises men to recognize when a relationship has run its course and to let go with dignity. Holding on to a failed relationship only prolongs emotional pain and prevents personal growth.
10. Learn From Every Relationship
Every relationship, whether successful or not, offers valuable lessons. Nasheed encourages men to reflect on their experiences, identify patterns, and use these insights to improve future relationships.
