Hi,

I've read your newsletter for a few months now and
just recently got your book which is fantastic. First
off a little background here. I was married for 11
years (I'm 33) and basically was either dating or
married to same person for 13 years. I have been
divorced now for a few months, and was actually
separated for over a year before I got divorced.
Having been out of the dating scene for so long I was
pretty much clueless (a lot has changed). I've always
been a very funny guy and cocky to an extent, but in
many ways what you would consider a "wuss". I've
always considered myself a nice guy, considerate,
caring, etc. You know, how mother taught you to be.
I've realized that those qualities are great of
course, but don't help a lot in the dating scene. Once
I started more of the cocky routine, it's been
amazing. Like I said, I've always been funny so I
guess I have a head start already.

Anyway, I've had some really "hot" dates in the past
couple months with the help of your book, but one of
the biggest problems I have in getting dates is the
fact I have been divorced and have 4 kids. I don't
consider this a problem whatsoever, they're a huge
part of my life, but I know the way women think
sometimes and view this as "baggage". Is there any
advice you could give me on how I can incorporate some
of your philosophies and techniques into over coming
this persona of "baggage" and help me attract more
women?
