Sexy and simple minded. 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a twenty nine year old man, 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: and three months ago I started dating a gorgeous woman 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: in her mid twenties. She has the best body, smooth 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and glowy chocolate skin, the sexiest voice, and she is 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: the best that I ever had, if you know what 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean. She's very affectionate and she treats me well, 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: but she's missing one important thing a brain. I hate 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: to say it, but I like her a lot, but 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: she's very simple minded. At first, I overlooked it because 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: the sex was so good. But now I'm starting to notice. 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: When we go shopping, she has trouble doing even the 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: most basic math at the cash register. When I give 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: her directions to meet me somewhere, she has trouble with 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: right turns versus left turns. My sister enjoys talking to 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: her because she is so dizzy and it's amusing to her. 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: My sister asked my girl if she had any any ambitions, 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: and she responded, no, I don't like guns. She had 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: any ambitions not ammunition? Yeah, right, not ammunition. Last week, 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: I admitted to my girl that I have been having 22 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: second thoughts about our relationship, and within an hour of 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: that conversation, she put it down that is in all caps. 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: Put it down in all caps in the bedroom, and 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: there was no way I was going to leave her. 26 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: After that, I feel stuck. She is beautiful and the 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: total package on the outside, but I don't think she 28 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: would ever bring much else to the table. I can't 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: imagine her raising kids because she can't even spell basic 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: words or use proper punctuation. On the other hand, I've 31 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: never had loving this good. What should I do? Should 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: I try to make it work with a great woman 33 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: who's amazing in bed or find a better woman that 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: has a little more going for herself. Your advice as 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: much is most appreciated. Well, I mean, haven't we all 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: had a variation of this issue at some point in time? 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean to some degree, you know, we talk to 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: our girlfriends. He puts it down in the bedroom, but hey, 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: he's got a tooth missing, or I don't like the 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: way he dresses, or he puts it down in the 41 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: bedroom he lives with his mama, or he's too cheap, 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: or he's too short. Whatever it is. You know, it's 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: always something, isn't it. In this instance, you're with a 44 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: woman who's beautiful, the best body, smooth, glowy chocolate skin, 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: sexy voice, the best loving you ever had. But she's 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: not too bright, you're saying. I think the good news 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: is you're young. You don't have to decide right now 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: today whether or not to get married and have kids 49 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: and all of that.
