    About this ebook

    About the Book
    The Woman in the Middle is the story of one man’s journey searching for the “perfect” woman and all the experiences and lessons learned from different female encounters along the way. He discovers revelations of “the Why” that women choose the men that they want and ultimately end up with. Also revealed is an understanding of a woman's mentality towards men and how that helps or hinders the success of her relationship endgame.
    The Woman in the Middle presents honesty and truth directly from real observations and dialogue from conversations with actual women. Declarations shared that men before could only receive in separate private discussions can now be presented and applied to their own thoughts and reasoning. This is the book that can either confirm a man’s assumptions concerning why women think the way they do or can simply reconstruct the idea of what a woman’s thoughts are entirely.
    Full of first hand stories and circumstances that show women in a new and insightful light, The Woman in the Middle seeks to question the notion that women are from Venus and men are from Mars. Instead, we may all be a little closer than we appear to be.

      "For those who only felt alone

      because they never knew me."

      I.

      Why Did I Even Write this Book?

      So, I have to start out first by saying, no, I am not an expert. I didn’t go to school for this, never taught a class for this, or even been with or around a large enough number of women to even really prove a legitimate point to what this book even portrays or tries to defend. This is a simple observation coming from a guy who’s had a pretty unusual array of relationships/encounters with the fairer sex. So unusual, in fact, that I felt so compelled to write this book just for the sure thought that I needed some type of confirmation or co-sign from other men that can relate to anything pertaining to these stories and descriptions. So that instead of me feeling I’ve sustained weird and unexplainable situations with women, I instead can see it’s actually quite normal. Knowing actually would give me some type of peace and reassurance that would allow me to sleep well at night.

       Now before I can even demonstrate the reasoning of why I also felt this book was necessary to write besides my own personal mindset, allow me to give my thoughts to this little memoir and lessons credibility by saying first and foremost, I do not talk about the exception pertaining to the types of women described in this book, only The Rule. I will describe the many and not the few. I am no dummy, I already know the first thing to discredit this book is to say, Well, I know chicks that aren’t like this, or for women who decide to take a personal investment while reading to say, I know he’s not talking about me because I would never be like that. I understand every single female in the world does not make the same choices and decisions and does not make the same mistakes. Only a fool would truly believe that. But let’s be frank here, if women were the best decision makers, Maury or Jerry Springer wouldn’t have a show. Am I right?

       With all that being said, this is an account of just one man’s thoughts and theories based off of his personal life experiences in his short time on this planet and hopefully, in return, there could be a few men out there that can vouch that also there was confusion and lack of understanding during their own endeavors dealing with women sometime in their lives. That way I’ll know I wasn’t crazy, just a man dealing with women in today’s crazy world. I mean just check my credentials and let them be the measuring stick for my knowledge on this widely discussed topic. I was a navy brat, my dad served over twenty years, so we moved around a few places. But when I was almost ten, we settled in a little city in Louisiana. I’m talking Small Town, USA. So, you could imagine the quantity of females just running around that little hole in the wall box. Also, add on the fact that my parents were black Barbie and Ken. The Colgate smiles having, front cover of Perfect Looking Couples magazine type of beautiful relationship I was privileged to absorb on a daily basis my entire childhood. Pops, the honorable, intelligent, hardworking, handsome, respectable husband and father. Mom, the beautiful, smart, driven, best cook and most loving lady in my life. And her resumé, don’t even get me started. She married my dad in her late teens, one love, one real relationship, and only one person she’s ever been with in her entire life.

       I know that sounds foreign. Who in the world saves themselves for one man in their life anymore? I’m familiar with that saying: You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince but in my situation, this upbringing would be the example that would forever define the way I view women and the shaping of relationships moving forward. My parents used to always give me little sayings like, If a girl is with you and loves you and you know she loves you and tells you no, then you know she’s not telling anyone else yes. And, if she’s sleeping around, don’t be around. I mean I lived my entire teenage to young adult life based off things my parents told me. Their relationship advice was the Bible to me. Why not take what was told by them so seriously, I ask. They were married, didn’t abuse or cuss each other and seemed genuinely happy together. I believed the only way that I was to continue tradition and follow suit was to look for someone that reminded me of my amazing mother. That was the only real way that I felt at the time to feel special to someone. Being the first love, the first everything. Knowing I’m the first, who could she compare me to?

       I’m the first guy to make her feel something she’s never felt before, so that has to be absolute truth, right? That became the starting point and ultimate blueprint to how I was going to find my future wife. Man, what an adventure and unforeseen reality check that transformed my perception on everything I was taught at a young age. The views that I learned and inherited during my love journey truly gave me the insight and knowledge to bring this book to this moment. There were just entirely too many stories and experiences that I would jot down from time to time to not want to share with the fellas. So, this is my written growth and realization. Figuring out that just because it was, does not mean that it still is. And once you finish all of the pages and make it to the end of this experience, then you’ll truly understand what that means. Enjoy.

       #SituationshipGoals

      It was a hot summer day. Now, I’m from the south so hot summer days are all relative. Hot is hot. But this day was particularly hot for some reason. Why I chose to run through the park with my headphones bumping Black Eye Peas Let’s Get It Started that day, I guess I’ll never really know. You don’t understand, it was easily two hundred and eleven degrees with absolutely no wind and no I don’t do drugs. So, about twenty minutes into the run is when I jog across this, a couple on a bench under a gazebo in the shade arguing. Now, I see couples arguing all the time. It’s a common form of communication in relationships. As I think about it, the times that I encounter people together that choose not to argue, I either assume they just finished arguing or have been letting the confrontation simmer for a while and later on that day at their home, it’s going to be war. This particular argument, however, with the gazebo couple intrigued me more from the physical aspect than the verbal ping pong assaulting. This couple looked straight out of a comic book. The girl was a beautiful, tall, blonde bombshell. She could have played a lifeguard on the show Baywatch, nothing short of a Victoria’s Secret angel. The guy on the other hand was this big, fat, sloppy ZZ Top beard having, messy looking kind of man. I try not to judge. I can’t stress that enough. I continue to work on universal unconditional acceptance every day. Nobody is perfect and I, for one, am as far from perfection as one can get. But in this scene, it wasn’t just the look of the couple arguing that garnered my undivided attention. It was how the man completely dominated and overthrew the argument from start to finish. He was laying into this beauty queen with insults and demeaning language with no remorse at all. His female companion on the other hand, stood there and took the verbal jabs and uppercuts with the chin of an undefeated heavyweight world champion. It appears he wasn’t even attacking her with harsh and violent rhetoric at all. Just a glazed over blank look as if the man screaming at her was a simple piece of glass art. From the time I noticed this couples one-sided disagreement to the time I was passing by, it looked as though the rumbling had subsided and assumed to have hit its dramatic conclusion. Right at my moment of totality, however, I saw the bearded pirate swiftly reach out and grab his lady’s arm and begin to drag her off. That moment my spidey senses morphed, and I
