[quote name='MorPhiend']I don't understand the need for girls to try and be as unlady like as possible today either. But I think that girls stopped expecting to be treted ladylike and guys stopped treating them that way. I think that is why girls have grown to not act like ladies.[/QUOTE]
good point. I have friends that became close friends quicker because they were the 2-3 guys that didn't hit on me, just were nice and made conversation and didn't expect anything out of my friendship and didn't feel the need to treat me either like a princess or like one of the guys. (i.e. they'd hold the door, and not just to catch a glance at my ass).
Then I go out and we're car pooling and picking up a guy I haven't seen in awhile, he gets in the car and I started making a joke semi-at-his-expense, then I stopped mid sentance (thank god) because he saw me and complimented me on how nice I smelled that evening...I was like...Wow.
heh, so sometimes I have to pinch myself and remember that I am not acutally one of the guys, well, sometimes I am anyway, but I don't have to act like a guy's-guy about it. :lol:
[quote name='doodle777_98']No prob tauruskatt. I personally don't see anything wrong with a guy acting a little chivalrous. I open doors for women, girls and older people than me. I think a lot of parents don't teach their kids any respect now adays. I use to hear that i treated my ex-roomates girl better than he did.
I also think a lot of guys don't care becuase the nice guys always finish last. And it's true. Women want men that they can "change". Which we all know is stupid. So every girl dates the bad guy. Thats why everyone wants to be the bad guy. Then girls are like i wish i had a really good boyfriend. I always tell them that many things in life are "self inflicted". Me and my girl just sit back and watch all these other couples fall apart, while me and her are always happy together. People these days, what can you do?[/QUOTE]
Yup, I'm always holding doors for people (especially older people). Not a lot of effort and it always means more then the minor amount of time it takes to do. (since when is another person not worth 3 seconds of my day?) that, and I think it's funny to have someone try and pronounce you being, "gentlewomanly"
Ah, the good old 'Beauty and the Beast' syndrome..."If I love him enough he'll become a prince!!". heh. I think only really lucky girls happen to not have an experience like that. but most smart girls only make that mistake once. 'the spell' doesn't lift in the real world, the beast just gets away with whatever they can while she's his prisoner, and leaves the girl with some low self-esteem issues (like, "damn, he's not changing, I'm doing something wrong").
We won't get into what "Sleeping Beauty" says about date rape. >.>
