We could be reading your letter live on the air,
just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now.

(00:21):
You never know, it could be yours. Okay, you never know.
Buckle up and hold on type We got it pour
you here. It is Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew. Subject
to get in, get it on, and get on out.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty four year old single
man and I'm not ready to settle down. But one
female in particular has me hooked. I was a type

(00:44):
of guy to get in, get it on, and get
on out, but she had splipped the script on me.
So now I need advice from the master. I'm seeing
three different women regularly, but I'm taking precautions and I'm
being respectful to the ladies. So far, none of them
have been in their feelings. I'm the one that's getting
caught up, and it's the fourth woman on my roster

(01:07):
that's got my nose wide open. As my daddy said,
she's a professional single mother, and her son is always respectful.
Her house is always clean, and she is always in
the best mood when we're together. I don't mind being
seen with her because she always knows how to act,
how to order food, and how to pick up a check.

(01:27):
Sometimes she insists on paying the bill every once in
a while, so I let her if it's something small,
like when we go get smoothies. Yes, I get smoothies
with her and her son if she invites me. The
only thing that bothers me is that she doesn't need me.
The other women expects small tokens of appreciation if I
sleep with them, and I understand that this fourth woman

(01:50):
gets me in. We get it on, and then she
expects me to leave before her son realizes I'm there.
That's such a turn on for me. I think I
may be falling in love with her. My dad said,
it's because she has high standards for herself. If that's
the case, why is she sleeping with me with no
strings attached. I often wonder if she has a roster

(02:13):
of other men, or if I am special to her.
I would love to see where our relationship can go,
but I don't know how to bring it up to her.
Can we go from friends with benefits to a monogamous relationship? Wow?
This is different. You're right we usually get these kinds
of letters from women. But thank you for showing us
your vulnerability. Thank you for showing us what some men

(02:36):
really want. Men can get caught up to. You said,
you love just everything about her, almost this one woman,
except the fact that she doesn't seem to need you.
And men want to be needed, don't they. But it's
not that she doesn't need you. It's just that she
loves herself and puts herself and her needs first. Is

(02:57):
like your dad says, she has high standards. She's smart woman.
She knows what kind of man you are. She knows
that you have more than one woman. She's not gonna
get caught up like that. She's just not gonna do it.
Everyone likes someone that's hard to get, not easy, and
men like women that they have to work for and
do things for. So keep working at it. Let her

(03:17):
know you're serious. You know you can spend more time
with her. And in order to do that, guess what
you're gonna have to lose? Some weight, Let some of
those other women go. Plus, you have to start making
plans that include her and her son. Clean up your act,
make sure you can take care of them, provide for
them before you shoot yourself your shot. So get your

(03:38):
finances in order, all of that. If you're not serious
about this woman though, you're not serious about doing right
by her, don't play with her. Just keep it right
where it is, Steve, this is very simple for me.
Shirley made a statement that thank you for sean us
your vulnerable side. I want to say something. This is

(04:01):
happening to this thirty four year old man, It happens
to every last one of us. It is going to happen.
This is a letter that so explains what I've always said.
All men can change, all men will change, but there's

(04:25):
only one woman that we are going to change. Four
and well, that's what this letter is about. This is
about a thirty four year old single man who said
he was not ready to settle down. But there's one
female in particular particular that's got me hooked. He taught
about he want to get it in, get it on,
get on out, but he said this one to flip

(04:48):
the script. So now you need advice from the master,
so he's come to Steve Harvey. But your father is
a master too, because he's seen this move before. Because
guess what had happened to your father with your mama.
So your father already told it to you. You're seeing
three different women regularly, you're taking precautions and you're being respectful.

(05:12):
So far, ain't none on being in their feelings because really,
most of them know what they got because when you
got time for three women, you ain't got time for one.
So they already know if you ain't here, you got
to be somewhere. You understand you ain't giving none of
them full time attention because you can't because you got
your time split by three. Now you got to split
by four. So everybody know what a quarter of attention is.

(05:35):
So far none on being in their field. But that
fourth woman on my roster got your nose wide open,
your daddy said, as your daddy said, your nose wide open.
She's a professional single mother, her son is always respectful,
she raising her kid right, her house is always clean,
and she's always in the best move when we're together.
She's a great person. Sounds like a good catch. I

(05:57):
don't mind being seen with it, because she always knows
how to act right there. Now, you're having problem with
a couple of being seen with the mother ones because
they're just good for that activity. But to see what
a man say, I don't mind being seen with her
because she knows how to act, because he hadn't been
with somebody that hadn't got out there and act that out.

(06:18):
She knows how to order food, how to pick up
a check. Sometimes I hate that you say that. She
insists on paying the bill every once in a while,
so I let if it's something small, like when we
get smoothies. Okay, I'll understand that I get smoothies with
her in the sun if she invites me. The only
thing that bothers me is that she don't need me. Oh,
when we come back, I'll explain what he means by that, Ladies,

(06:39):
and I'm gonna show you how you catch what you want.
You will have part two of your response coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter
subjects get in, get it on, and get on out.
We'll be right back after this. You're listening. He's being
respectful of the women. He always protects himself. He's being respectful.

(07:00):
So far, none of them have been in their feelings.
And the reason that no one's getting caught up in
their feelings, and it's because they know their own a roster,
because if you got four women, there's no way you
can devote your time to one. So they know what
part time is. But they're also getting some benefits. We
found her later in the letter. But the problem me
is so far, none of them been in their feelings.

(07:21):
But it's the one that I'm getting caught up when
it's to Forefen. She got my nose wide open, Like
your daddy say, she's a professional single mother and her
son is always professional, respectful. Now you say you've come
to me because you need advice from the master. But
I gotta tell you something. Your daddy spot on. Your
daddy is a master too. Don't take much to be
a master. You just gotta have lived in Your dad

(07:43):
didn't lived and he didn't told you she got your
nose wide open. He already seen this movie before. She's
a professional single mother, her son is always respectful, her
house is always clean, and she's always in the best
move when we're together. It sound like a great catching
me I don't mind being seen with her because she
always knows how to the reason the man right there
in the letter ladies, because one of these three women
that he takes out, these three where he can't go

(08:05):
nowhere with them because they don't win out and showed out.
She knows how to order food. Y'all you got the mother?
Was you down to dinner? You down to Dennis with
this other one and she all in the back of
the menu. You at ihop and she all in the
back of the menu. When we go to Dennis, we
get to breakfast, Slam and the moons over my hammer.
You don't go in the back of the menu when

(08:25):
you go to ihop. You stay at the front of
the menu. Get what's on the damn sign? What is
you all back here to? Mother? I want some strimps.
This ain't what they do back here? What is your
order in the strip? Dinner? Fall? Yeah? Now you all, yeah,
you all in the back of order stuff you want?
I want the chicken fries. Take That's not what they do.

(08:48):
You all back on page foe f get up here
in the front. She assists on paying the bill every
once in a while, so I let her. It's something
small like when we get smoothies. Yes, I get smoothest
winner in the sun when she invites me, So now
you like it. The only thing that bothers me is
she don't need me. Now, ladies, this is where some
of us ladies make mistakes. By demonstrating that you don't

(09:12):
need a man. It's not always the smart move because
now a man don't get to be the night in
shining armor. He don't get to ride in at the
cavalry over the hill and save the day. He don't
be able to rescue the damsel in distress. You have
got to show some form of vulnerability so a man
can see where he fits in. That's what we're looking for. Now,

(09:36):
that's what bothers him. The other women expect small tokens
of appreciation if I sleep with them and I understand it.
So it's a play for it's a pay to play situation.
You know, I'm sleeping with you. I need help with
my rent. This woman ain't doing that, and he expects me,
and then this other woman expect The other women expect
tokens of appreciation if I sleep and I understand. The

(09:58):
fourth woman gets me in get it on and she
expects me to leave for her son realizes I'm here.
That's because she don't want her son to see somebody
that might not be around for the long haul and
have some ignorant thoughts about her mama. This woman is smart.
That's such a turn on for me. I think I
may be falling in love with her. My dad says,

(10:19):
because she got high standards for herself. See, now you
see what a real woman act like. She's a single mother,
She handling her business, she taking care of the way
her She cares about what her son and her child feels.
She wants you in and out. She likes you. She
ain't putting a whole lot in it. She hoping you
step up to the plate because she ain't just in

(10:41):
here playing with you like a board toy. She really
wants you to step up to the plate, and she
hoping you do. But she ain't gonna make that move. Now.
She got high standards. And if that's the case, why
is she sleeping with me with no strings attached? Everybody
don't want to be paid to sleep with There ain't
strings you're saying, with no strings attached. No, there's no

(11:05):
money attached. She don't want to equate her body and
her love with a payment. How you don't see that, homie.
She don't want that. She's saying, I'm good enough as
I am. Now when you realize I'm worth more, would
you please let me know? But in the meantime, please
don't drop no rent money off on my counter, because
that ain't I'm not that girl, often one that she

(11:27):
has a roster of other men. Why she's taking care
of herself. She's a professional. Or if I'm special to her,
you probably are. I would love to see how relationship
can go, but I don't know how to bring it up. Yeah,
you know how to bring it up to him? Bring
it up to him? Can we go from friends with
benefits to a monogamous relationship? That's what she's hoping for,
So why don't you man up, zip it up and

(11:48):
come on in that with a plan. But you got
to cut to mother Helper's loose though, dog all right?
