PERSONAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSBeing that this book is about women, there is absolutely no way I could have put it together if it wasn't for the women that have crossed my path. During my years of dealing with various women, I have to admit that I have had more than a little, whether it was laughing with them, going out to dinner, to a movie, to the park, to the beach, shopping, joyriding, playing cards or having sex.

I enjoyed every precious moment with them and I will cherish those moments as long as my brain continues to work. Thank you so dearly for putting up with me.

On the flip side of this coin, there are women I have dealt with that I pissed off or hurt during my years of immaturity. If there was a way I could go back in time and undo the pain and frustration I caused you, I wouldn't hesitate to do so because I know you ladies thought more of me back then.

I know you all didn't forgive me back then, but I surely hope you do now. Whether it was good times or bad times, I shared with you wonderful women, each one of you played a significant role in the man I am today and for that wonderful experience I am humbly grateful, deeply honored and sincerely appreciative to have been blessed to have had our journeys connect.

I wrote this book to start a dialogue, create awareness and get women to realize and believe that they are worth way more than they can imagine in life. I want women to know that they do not have to settle for any man just for the sake of convenience, security or whatever.

There will always be a gentleman available; who is not only compatible with them, but one that will find them intriguing, interesting, intelligent and beautiful. Sometimes it takes a little time to find a man that really honors women, but trust me - it's always worth the wait.

I intend to reach millions of readers, mostly women. If I can get one woman to read my book and walk away feeling much better about her life and the direction she wants to go in terms of a relationship, then my mission will be complete.

Nothing that I have written in this book is intended to disrespect or offend any of my readers. I mention this because some of the language in this book may not agree with the readers.
