Trey, I'm a dating coach who married for the first time at 51, so I know a thing or two about men, romance, and human nature. And that's what sets me apart from my colleagues.

My advice isn't for e-fame or platform regulars, and it's hardly a smooth cocktail. It's a straight shot of tough love and honesty from someone who spent 50 years in the dating trenches.

Not all dating coaches are created equally, so look for experience and perspective.

Coach or no coach, this is true: "You have to work for your dating activity." End of story.
