What a Woman Wants

By Michael B. Miller Sr.

This book, What a Woman Wants is coming from my view as a man who has lived around women all my life. It is coming from my perspective as a male. None of what I am saying is the gospel truth according to all women. Even if you do not agree with everything I write in in this book, we all can agree that a woman want many things in this nation we live in, whether its love, respect, money, etc. I just wanted to write a book based on how some women may feel. The book is dedicated to my dear and departed mother, and other women in my family, female friends, acquaintances, and many who left this world way too soon. Even if I do not become very rich from writing this book, I hope and pray it might change many women lives, and give men a better understanding of women, and what they want, or need according to Michael Miller. I hope you will enjoy, What a Woman Wants.

Quotes from Rich and Famous Women

This book is solely based on my opinion, and what I think a woman wants. Many people may ask how I know what a woman wants. I come from a family that is dominated by women, and because of this reason I feel I can make a perception of what I think she wants, and my mother and I was also very close. This book is dedicated to my dear and departed mother, and the many women who have influenced my life over the years, such as, but not limited to, women in my family, female friends, teachers, colleagues, etc. I hope you will enjoy, What a Woman Wants.

Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies.

I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I’m telling lies.

I say,

It’s in the reach of my arms

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

By. Maya Angelou/ Phenomenal Woman

I’ve been loved and I’ve been lost

But I’m here as a woman

To get what I want,

I’ve been beautiful and ugly

But I’m still capable to get what I want

I’ve been rich and poor, yet I stand tall, penniless as a woman

To claim what I want,

I’ve been disrespected and respected, but I refuse to leave,

Until I cry out what I want.

My health has been good and imperfect,

But I hold fast until I feast,

On what I want.

By. Michael B. Miller/ What she wants

A woman wants a mother Phase 1

Abraham Lincoln said All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my Angel mother.

A woman wants her mother in her life whether she believes it or not. A mother could teach her daughter a lot, not only how to be a woman, but the facts of life when dealing with a man. How to carry herself and how not to carry herself. Even little insignificant things like how to sit properly in a chair, stand, or talk. When the mother knows how to cook, the daughter will have every chance of being a good cook too. Your womanhood and motherhood most of the times depend on your mother, so every woman directly or indirectly needs her mother in her life, or someone who has taken the place 0f her mother, like an aunt, older cousin, or close friend of the family. A mother is a very important part of a woman’s life. I believe that every mother and daughter should have a close relationship, to learn about womanhood. Most daughters who are not close to their mother, will grow up to be a woman not very close to her daughter. When a little girl becomes a woman physically, who does she run to, other than her mother? Who can tell her about the changes that a woman body will go through other than a mother?

Many women are not fortunate to have a mother in their life, but she needs her mother and she wants a mother. Many mothers have died during child barring, and others just decided to walk away, or someone decided to give up on their daughter altogether. The love of a mother and her daughter is rare, and it should not be taken for granted in any way possible. It is true what they say about mothers knowing best, especially when it comes to her little girl. A mother inspires her daughter to believe she is important, and beautiful, no matter what anyone says. Eight things a girl needs from her mother.

1 She needs to know that she is most important.

2. She needs to know she is accepted

3. She needs to know that there is a bond between you two.

4. She needs you to give her a spiritual foundation.

5. She needs you to help her succeed in life.

6. She needs you to show her how to have self-respect above all

7. She needs stability

8. She needs you to teach her how to always carry herself decent and modest.

A woman needs her mother first in life. When she first comes into the world, the first face she sees that is an image of hers is her mother. The first body she sees that looks like hers, is her mother’s. I have no doubt that a woman truly needs her mother. I am aware that many mothers and daughters argue, fight, disagree, and even think they hate each other, but a woman needs her mother. No matter how old she gets, she needs her mother. Women, when you first meet that man that you think you are going to love forever, who you tell first, or other than your girlfriend, it’s your mother. You will sometimes wear her wedding dress to the most important day of your life, your wedding, if it’s not too outdated! A woman needs her mother. In an edition of Marriage, motherhood, laughter, life 17 things a girls need from their mothers, it reads To be told she’s beautiful – every day. When she’s wearing her fanciest dress and her dirtiest jeans and tennis shoes, Tell her she’s beautiful, but then make her understand that she is so much more than that. That her beauty is only evident on the outside because of what she is on the inside. A woman needs her mother, and not just to play dress up in her high heel shoes, and clothes, or talk to her about sex, but to show her love and guidance, and knowing that you have done all you know how to do, she will grow up to be a well-received woman by the universe. What about when a girl start to see physical changes in her body, who will she turn to other than her mother? Many women say when a girl starts to become a woman and start to receive her menstrual cycle, it can be a very scary experience, if she is not prepared to deal with it, and no one can prepare her better than her own mother.

She also need her mom in her life whenever that friend comes around to visit. Some girls do not understand how their body is changing, and need someone, preferably a mother to let her know she is just becoming a woman, and nature is taking its course. I know I may have mentioned this before in this chapter, but it’s worth reiterating because the topic is so important. Many girls become depressed when this happens to her life, because she actually do not know what’s going on. She often times feel sick and moody, and her hormone levels rise and fall during this time of month. Most women when they get grown cannot tolerate the changes. Some of these women become very, very, angry. Some have pre menstruation disorder, and as a result turn to alcohol, and other substance abuse to cope with the problem. Women go through many changes, and the only way to deal with it, is to be a good mother always in your daughter’s corner.

A mother has a vital role, psychologically and emotionally. Many women are not happy, because they feel only a man could make them be. A mother can teach a daughter that she is responsible for her own happiness, and nobody could ever fulfil that void, but her. A woman needs her mom to show her what to expect from a good, kind, and loving man; sometimes this could be the key to a lasting marriage. When a woman is a little girl she wears her mother clothes around the house, and many times she falls down in her high heel shoes. The sweetest thing I ever heard a little girl say about her mom is, I want to be my mother for Halloween. Now isn’t that the sweetest thing you ever heard? This is a little girl who believes without a doubt her mother is her hero, and not a witch, a fairytale person, princess, cartoon Character, but her mother. This little girl could have had the opportunity to play anyone on Halloween, but she chose to be the most important person in her life, her mother.

Sometimes a mother thinks that a daughter wants to be their friend, but every daughter wants a mother; Someone to
