I love this title, my 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: little ugly Boyfriend. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty one 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 1: year old single woman and I met the man of 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: my dreams two years ago on a dating website. He 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: lives in Tampa and I live in Philadelphia. A few 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: months after we met online, he came to visit me. 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: I immediately noticed that he lied about his height. He's short. 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: He is an inch or two shorter than me, and 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: I like tall men. I had hoped he looked a 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: little better than his pictures online, but he looks exactly 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the same in person. He's not handsome at all. I 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: overlooked his height and the fact that he's not cute 20 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: because we have a lot in common. He's a hard 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: worker and a great single father. He is very kind, 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: and he loves the Lord. All of those things make 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: up for the fact that he is not exactly my type. 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: He's been back to visit me every other month, and 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: I have been to his home in Tampa. I met 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: his family and they are all supportive of our relationship. 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: So here's my dilemma. I have met his family, but 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: he still has not met mine. I have been making 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: excuses whenever he asks to meet them, and I made 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: him think they're all weird and crazy. But the truth 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: is they are very judgmental and they will talk about 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: his looks and his height. My mom's facial expressions are priceless, 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and I know she won't be able to hide her 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: reaction if she meets him. I have told my family 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: about him and how good we are together, and they 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: already make jokes about me and my little ugly boy friend. 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: They may be right, So I need your advice. Should 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: I be proud of this good man even if he 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: is ugly and short, or should I call it quits 40 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: now and stop wasting my time in this relationship. Well, 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't see how you call yourself wasting your time. 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you've been with him for two years. You 43 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: said that you guys have a lot in common. Maybe 44 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: he's not exactly your type, but he's very kind, he 45 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: loves a lord. He's a great single father, he's a 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: hard worker. He has so many qualities that you like. 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: You've met his family, they're all supportive. This sounds like 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: a nice good man to me. I mean, and he's 49 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: with you, he's not with your family. If you guys 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: continue this and get married, he's marrying you, not your family. 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: You said he's the man of your dreams. That's what 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: you said. I mean, you guys have been together for 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: two years already, and you know about his height. You're 54 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: no different, you know from any other women, a woman, 55 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: All the women I know just about like tall men. 56 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: A lot of men like tall women, so that's nothing unusual. 57 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: But he is one or two inches shorter than you, 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: and he's not handsome at all. Those are facts. You 59 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: put those in the letter. But even with all that, 60 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: you're still with him and meeting his family. You're visiting 61 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: each other's homes long distance and stuff. You've met his family. 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: This sounds pretty serious to me. You're just scared for 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: him to meet your family because you don't know how 64 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: they're going to react to him, if they're, you know, 65 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: going to make him feel some sort of way. Listen, 66 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: if you like this man and you want to be 67 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: with this man, this is your man, I mean, your 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: your family, So what are they going to say it 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: to his face? So what if they don't like him, 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: You like him and he treats you well and you 71 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: seem happy, you've been with him for two years. Don't 72 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: let your family, you know, make you miss out on 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: a good man. That's what I say. Steve attractive and short. Yeah, 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: I must admit I thought the ladder was about somebody else. 75 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: You know who the hell he talking about? When you 76 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: throw a rock, I'm the hell with that. Y'all know 77 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: who you're talking about? Sicking the rock? And then we 78 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: didn't hit this dog too many day time. Y'all know 79 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. The only thing in this ladder 80 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: that through it all. He lives in Tampa and I 81 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: live up to that. And thereafter I was sending him, man, 82 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: I couldn't haul it swallow. You're not laughing, Tim, tell me. 83 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: A few months ago we met online, came to visit me. 84 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: I immediately noticed that he lied about his height. Hello, Hello, Hello, 85 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: how many times he lied by his heart waited against it. 86 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: A few months after we met online, he came to 87 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: visit me. I immediately noticed that he lied about his life. 88 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: He shot good, Lord of Mighty. He is an interest. 89 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: Too shorter than me, and I like tall men. Hey, 90 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: he do too proud. I hoped he looked a little 91 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: bit better than his picture on line, but he looked 92 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: exactly like the same person. Like y'all ain't telling me. 93 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: M overlooked his fight. I overlooked his height, in the 94 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: fact that he ain't cute, cause we got alight incoming, 95 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: hard work, great single father, He's very kind, he loves 96 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: your Lord. All these things make up for the fact 97 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 1: that he's not my type. He's been back to visit 98 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: me every other month.

She'd been making all types 102 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: of excuses why they don't need to meet him, because 103 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: the truth is the family that she in his judgment on. 104 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: They're gonna talk about his looks and his height.
