Dear Steve and Shirley, I am a 30 year old man and I have been dating a new girl for about 3 months. Intimacy came after we had known each other for at least a month. I would sleep over at her house or she’d stay at mine. One evening in late March, we were watching the news and heard about the mandatory stay-at-home order.

lap and hold on tight. We got it for you.
Here is the Strawbaby letter, subject, my feet looked better
than hers. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty year
(01:07):
old man and I've been dating a new girl for
about three months. Intimacy came after we had known each
other for at least a month. I would sleep over
at her house or she'd stay at mine. One evening
in late March. We were watching the news and heard
about the mandatory stay at home order. We decided that
she would stay at my house for a while until
(01:28):
things got back to normal. She brought comfrey, clothes and
a few of her personal items to my house. We
got lots of food and snacks and settled in. The
longer she stayed with me, the more comfortable she got.
That's when I realized that I had never seen her
without socks on. I finally saw her feet, and oh
(01:50):
my god, her feet and toes are wrecked. Her toenails
are thick and long, and she's got crusty corns and
most of her her toes. Her toenail polishes chipped off,
and her heels are cracked and ashy. It looks like
she used to play a lot of football, or maybe
she walked barefoot in most of her life. I've been
(02:14):
keeping the air conditioner on continuously because I know she
hates for her feet to be cold, and she has
to wear fluffy socks to keep her feet warm and covered.
These toes might be a deal breaker for me. I
begged my sister to talk to her, and my sister
said that she will invite her to get a pedicure
soon so she can see how to take care of
her feet. But in the meantime, I'm stuck with this
(02:37):
great woman that has feet like a vulture. I'm finding
it hard to be intimate with her. Can you offer
any suggestions. I don't want to hurt her feelings, please help. Wow.
Well typical man. I mean, men are visual. It's a
lot about what they see and how you look, and
how you take care of yourself and things like that.
(02:59):
That's just how you know men are built. They're visual,
they just are. And if you saw the movie Boomerang
with Eddie Murphy back in the day, you know that
no matter how fine you are from head to ankle,
tho's feet have to look good. Layla Bashan was beautiful
in the movie, she really was. But when Eddie pulled
back the covers and saw her, yes, Graham, yeah, remember
(03:23):
how his face cranched. His face was all twisted up
after that. You know, I think both men and women
of course should take care of their feet. And I mean,
you know, they're just so many options these days. I mean,
so many nail salons, so many things to do. I know,
we're in quarantine right now, and the nail salons are closed.
I know that. But if you can't go, you still
(03:46):
have to take care of yourself. You still have to
find a way to do it. Okay, every woman knows
how to polish their nails right, clip your toe nails,
things like that, you know, make your your feet soft
and everything. You know, put some motion on and put
some socks on them, things like that. You know, we
have to make ourselves look as nice as we can
(04:06):
during this time. I mean, I don't think there's really
an excuse right now just because you can't get to
the nail salon. It's called good grooming, it's called good hygiene.
I mean, I appreciate you for not wanting to hurt
her feelings, but I think you should be the one
to tell her nicely yourself. I don't think you should
leave this up to your sister, because it looks like
you guys are going to be together for a while.
(04:27):
You says she's a great woman. You says she's a
great woman. Just you know, she just needs to take
better care of her feet. At least you gotta tell her.
You gotta tell her this. When this is all over.
You know, you guys are gonna have a spa there
or something. Go to the nail salon and get your
feet done. Get a manny patty. That's the least you
(04:48):
could do for this woman. You say, that's you know,
a great woman, Steve, that ain't what to see? Is
that is not what to see the description in this
it's not many petty curable. I've been dating this new
girl three months. One even slept at the house. She
(05:09):
sleep at yours. We was watching the news, heard about
to stay at home. We decided she would stay at
my house for a while. Two things got back normal.
She bought some comfy clothes, few personal items. Y'all loaded
up on food and snacks. Long as she stayed, the
more comfortable she got. That's when I realized I had
(05:31):
never seen her without sucks. See this letter is building up.
That's how I know we have a problem here. Most
men just get right to it. This is a build up.
You don't know what's going on. Then I realized I
ain't never seen it without socks. I finally saw her
feet and old, my god, her feet and toes are wrecked.
(05:54):
Her toenails are thick. See she got that from her daddy.
When you have to nails you get that from an
old black man. She got old black man told, and
they've told that they thick and long. That means the
(06:16):
nail clip don't open up wide enough to cut them.
They have to be filed down. She got crusty corns
on most of her toes because if she tried to
file her feet, then toe nails cuts her own hands.
Oh man, man, her nail polishes chip. We got problems
(06:38):
here homing, and when I come back, I'm gonna tell
you how bad it is. All right, we'll have heart
two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes
after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters, subject my feet looks
better than hers. We'll get into it right after this.
You're listening show, right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's
(06:58):
strawberry letter. I'm just my feet. My feet looked better
than her feet. Well, we got a problem, though. That
ain't usually how the case go. Your man's feet looked
better than yours. We have a major problem. She finally
stayed at the house. She bought comfee clothes. Y'all quarantine.
(07:20):
You can't send a home, she can't go out. You
don't want to ask her to come over near the
first time, y'all. You don't looked at her feet. Oh
my god, feet and toes is wrecking. To nails is thick.
(07:42):
That's them, old black man toenails, them, old white man
toels them, old lactina toneil's that's them, old Asian man tonels.

been like she in the flintstones, like she live in
big rocks. It's time to stop her car. She hanged
her damn foot out the door, slam on bricks. Heels
is cracked and ashy. Looked like she used to play football.
(08:27):
That's soccer, boy, And she walked bare footing most of
her life. I've been keeping the air condition her own
constantly because I know she hated for her feet to
be cold, and she gotta wear fluffy socks to keep
her feet warm. Good idea. That's a good idea. Cut
that air all the way down, Get in the sixty

it's say, low, damn that six. Get to get to
Old David Letterman's studio fifty eight. David let him and
