Expertise
I have been divorced twice and have dated extensively! I can answer any question on the subject of dating.

Experience
I have been divorced twice and have dated extensively! I don't think that there is a male personality type that I have not encountered at one point or another. I am also the founder of the Sassy Pink Peppers, a nationwide social group for divorced and separated women, thus I have a very good handle on mid-life dating from a woman's point of view through the stories I have been told.
