Speaker 1: you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew.

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Subject thick thighs. Oh my, here's Stephen Shirley. I have

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: a problem with meeting men, and when I do meet them,

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: they can't handle a woman like me. I'm thirty four

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: years old, I'm five to seven with a body like

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Cardi b It's all natural, but since women started getting

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: their bodies done, I get lumped into that category when

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: I meet men. I don't feel that I should have

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: to explain my body type, but nowadays men come right

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: out and ask if my behind is real. One guy

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: even asked if he could squeeze it to see for himself.

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Another guy had a discussion with me on how my

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: thighs match my behind, so it must be real. I

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: was so disgusted by this but then I met a

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: very nice and professional man, and he's obsessed with the

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: lower half of my body and wants me to wear

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: leggings when we go out on dates. I typically wear

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: dresses in an attempt to camouflage my goodies, but he

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: wants the hips behind and thighs on display, and he

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: proudly shows me off to his friends when we're out.

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: He's even got a pet name for me, and it's

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Thick Thighs. Sunday, he introduced me to his daddy just

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: like that. He told his daddy my name and said

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: he calls me thick thighs. Oh my. His dad laughed

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: and dapped him up as if he had won the lottery.

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I should be thrilled or embarrassed.

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: For so long, my height and thickness have been an issue,

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: But now I'm dating a guy he was in awe

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: of how the Good Lord created me. I wrote this

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: letter to ask you if I should go forward with

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: being intimate with him. We met two months ago and

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the sexual tension is very strong between us. I'm hoping

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: he can handle these thick thighs. Do you think I

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: should ask what his intentions are for me first, please advise.

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: All right, you can ask him anything you want, that's first,

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: But I got to ask you a question. What do

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: you think his intentions are? I mean, he has been

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: parading you around and legging, showing you off and in

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: your words, obsessed with your lower body. Please show me

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: how he's different than these other guys. The chemistry or

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the sexual tension should be thick. If you guys are

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: attracted to each other, that part is okay. But here's

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: the thing. Just because guys like what they see, that's

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: that's not enough reason to have sex with them. I'm

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: sure you know that. So congratulations on your beautiful body,

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: your thickness, all of that, but you don't need to

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: jump in bed because of that. You know that's a

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: bit fast, and you, not him, should determine when and

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: if that ever happens. So so far, you've given us

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: no facts as to why you should sleep with this

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: man if you just want to. You know, like, if

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: you just want to, you're feeling him, you're too consenting

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: adults with no strings, that's one thing. But you know, incidentally,

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: that never works out because you know, nine times out

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: of ten, the woman gets sprung in cases like this.

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you've only known this guy for two months.

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: How does he treat you? These are the kinds of

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: questions you should be asking. Is he a gentleman? Does

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: he respect you? Does he ever look into your eyes?

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Or his eyes always on the lower part of your

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: body and your button, your thighs besides asking you to

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: wear leggings and calling you thick thighs, I mean, why

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: should he get it? So, I'm just telling you, please

71
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: slow down. Understand that you're more than a pair of

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: thick thighs and a big butt who looks good in leggings.

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a woman of value and worse. You

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: should know this about yourself. You have way more to

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: offer the right man than just her fine body. All right, Steve, Well,

76

00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,880

00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: letter first section. If you're having trouble meeting men, but

90
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: you five seven with a body like Cardy B, we

91
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:37,799

Speaker 1: I don't know how you're having trouble meeting men five

93
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: seven with a body like Cardi BA. I'm just trying

94
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: to get these people home. See why this explains this

95
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: whole letter. How do you look when you turn around

96
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: and they realize it ain't carding B? What do they see?

97
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: That's my question for you. That's where the problem could

98
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: be in this old damn letter. When you do spin

99
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: around and they go, oh, that ain't carding B. See

100
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: what is the reaction? What what was that you spin

101
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: around and they see that it ain't carding me? That

102
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: can't be the reaction because now hold that crazy that

103
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: that can't be it. I'm telling when you Part two

104
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: of Steve's crazy response coming up at twenty three minutes

Speaker 1: after the hour, Today's Strawberry Letters subject Thick thighs. Oh, Mike,

106
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: we'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

107
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,

108
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: let's recap today's Strawberry letter. Thick is the subject. I

109
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: ain't gonna spend a lot of time on the first

110
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: section because I did it last and I think we understand.

111
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say one more thing about it. Here's

112
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: a woman who says she has a problem meeting men.

113
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: She thirty four years old, she five seven, got a

114
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: body like CARDI be. My only response to that could

115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: be is you may have a body like Cardy B.

116
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: But when you turn around, who are they looking at now?

117
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: From behind you cardy B? But when you turn around

118
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: you earn it. See that's what we have a problem,

119
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: you cardy B. From behind? But when you turn around,

120
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: now we've been it. You cart it be from behind,

121
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: But when you turn around with Jesse, you see what

122
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's that we could have. Now, I sugg

123
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: just move on down the letter, because I do believe

124
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: this woman has a legitimate problem because she's built like

125
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: a brick house obviously, And Nowaday's men asked her it's

126
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: her behind real? Or one guy even asked me, could

127
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: he squeeze it to see for himself? You know that's

128
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: that's disrespectful. Another guy had a discussion with me on

129
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: how my thighs match my behind, so it must be real.

130
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, I was just so disgusted by this. Then

131
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: you meet this very nice professional man. He's obsessed with

132
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: the lower half of your body. Once again, we've got

133
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: to pay attention to this letter I meet, I meet

134
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: a wonderful professional man, and he's obsessed with the lower

135
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: half of my body. Kin, how do you look? I

136
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: don't know why we can't take this in consideration. See,

137
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: now you've met this nice professional man, but he obsessed

138
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: with the lower half of your body. I'm just thinking

139
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: something on the upper half must be throwing everybody half.

140
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, that's how all I can come away with.

141
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: I just can't come away with nothing now because you

142
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: keep putting it in the letter from me. Now, I'm

143
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure you didn't mean to type your letter like this,

144
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure that I could be wrong, But

145
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: based on this damn letter. In the information I keep getting,

146
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: even you only wants to talk about your lower body.

147
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: You never mentioned in the letter. I'm an attractive woman

148
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: all over, but my lower body gets extra attention. Your

149
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: others don't get no attention, and nobody mentioned it. You

150
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: ain't mentioned it in the letter. You said you met

151
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: this nice professional man and he's obsessed with the lower

152
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: half of my body. He wants me to wear leggings

153
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: when we go out on dates. I usually wear dresses

154
