Find out how the book even got started and why Manny Carter created it in the first place in his own words…

“Growing up can be a pain. We're not really a man until we come to age and a lot of the things that we need to know upfront, we don't find out until we experience them. What happened is I have a lot of my male friends coming to me now saying how do I attract this kind of woman or that kind or what do I do to keep her. While a nurse back in Illinois, all my male friends were striking out 100%, they were just striking out left and right.

So unfortunately, I say unfortunately, I was a nurse, a lot of my friends were female and they started telling me things about guys, pick up lines, what they say, toupee's, you know, buy me a Camaro and I'll be your girlfriend, and they were snickering about it. And I said, "Okay, I got to do something about this. I have to tell my male friends," I was like 50 years old at that time, "I have to tell them what they're doing wrong."

“I decided to go on all the dating sites. I went on all of them, Match.com, Date Hookup, Black People Meet, Marriage Minded People, and I said what is it that a women is looking for. And I came to a conclusion, there were several things that a women's looking for. One is she is looking for Prince Charming. Prince Charming is what fabricated by Walt Disney, it doesn't exist, but women are looking for their version of Prince Charming.”

“And I said, Okay, there's only one way for me to figure this out. So I left Illinois and I came out to Las Vegas, Nevada with my son and I said, "I'm going to date as many women as I can and I'm going to be Prince Charming. I'm going to take all these qualities that I found on these dating sites that these women are asking for and I will become that person."

“Now, Matt, you're probably thinking, well you became that person, you should have success in dating because you're giving them exactly what they want. But see, each and every one of the women that I became Prince Charming too, you know, the roses, the opening the doors, doing everything as perfect as possible, were constantly, constantly looking for flaws in me. They had to find a flaw. So in the process of doing so, it became quite irritating. So I would say, "You know, obviously, you're not wanting to be with me."

“When I'm breaking up with them, I started getting roses, it was unbelievable. I mean, there was one time I had several dozens of roses sent to my house because I broke up with them and after I broke up with them they to me quote unquote, "You're just the perfect man. You're the perfect man, I don't know what I was thinking. I had my guard up because of all of the jerks out there and now I got the perfect man and I mess it up." Bottom line, they really don't know what they want. And I've come to that conclusion.”

“So through experimentation using the scientific method. I went in there and I said, "Let's toss myself in there and let's become this Prince Charming guy and see how women will react to it." Each and every one of them, that's 30 women, 30 out of 30 treated me like crap because they did not understand that a guy can actually be nice. And they're always coming back with, I got to find a guy that I can fix, but I wasn't broken, which was the problem.”
