I, too, am appalled with people's behaviours these days. One guy yawned big nasty "I can see your cavities" yawns at the table, coughing without covering his mouth. And, kept not only bringing up my breasts, but calling them "t*ts". I, too, find spitting disdainful unless they've got dust and they just came back from the Outback! 
Obviously you both have a better anatomy! heh heh Agree, that is definitely a date ender... |

In my opinion, manners went away when kids started raising having babies. Really how well can a 15 year old teach their son how to be a man? But that came about because parents quit being parents?? My sons (22 and 16) behave well and have great manners. But then I managed to raise them rather than letting the tv do it. And I had kids young, I still have manners. And my mother was 17 when she had me (in the 60s, like BEFORE it was common place) but she managed to raise us with manners... |

New Orleans...home of the yeast infection Well....I live in the country over by the border of Texas.......about 3 hours from New Orleans by Interstate. Hot, humid and flying bugs that carry off small children... fun. 
AND SOMETIMES......adults on a hot summer evening!!!! LOL Sounds like YOU'VE been here!!!!! Indeed, around the area anyway... like the cool mountains of the north now. Getting too old to sweat AND put up with bad manners! Indeed, around the area anyway... like the cool mountains of the north now. Getting too old to sweat AND put up with bad manners! |

on the whole manners issue... Manners are how we show respect for others...... AND for yourself!!! Remember the John Wayne movie where he slapped his son off of a horse for being disrespectful to another man's wife who happened to be an indian??? Called her a squaw???? John Wayne apologized to her and said "sorry mam, just a little bit of an oversight in his upbringing". Good one! Ask my sons! |

Chivalry died in the 1970's and 80's. Too bad really, I was kind of good at it. But it was the independant women of that time that killed it. The "I can" generation. Then it wasn't taught anymore. I don't think anyone knows those rules anymore. That a man is supposed to walk on the outside of a woman down the street. So that if anything is dumped from an above window or something is splashed from a street, it hits him and not her. Open doors? Pull out seats? Pay all checks? Offer you coat on cold evenings? I don't think anyone remembers this stuff, but I also don't think women want it anymore either. There is a downside to chivalry. Is there a woman on her that would let a man do this? You know that includes things like no sex before marriage. No kissing until engaged. This is the stuff of actual courting, and no one does that anymore. Chivalry and courting were tied together, when one went, so did the other. MAN!!!! Speak for yourself!!!! Maybe ya'll just live too far north....Chivalry and manners are alive and well in the south and especially at MY house Thank you!!!! Too bad it's so darn hot in the south or I'd move! heh heh |

Glad to know others see this... wish we could roll back the clocks and try again. Obviously we managed to get a little off track in "modern" times...

Male or Female.. Manners should be used. It's so easy to simply say "Please or Thank You". I raised my boys to use manners, it's the polite thing to do. I often get comments from people (teachers) stating how polite my boys are. 
I love the fact that my boy's get those... and when they don't I make my reminders! LOL But it really isn't that unreasonable, is it? I have good manners, why do I seem to find so many people who don't? (Other than the fact I live in backwater USA, I suppose )

I am starting to think I was raised in a convent or something. What happened to simple manners?? And what is it with all the incredibly annoying little quirks?
I find someone that is fairly decent, seems mature and they start doing stupid stuff like forgetting please and thank you, never open a door for you, or my absolute pet peeve, spitting. I don't get it. I'm not asking for an angel, I am looking for someone who simply uses good manners. Simple things like not eating and talking at the same time or chewing with their mouth open, not pausing in the middle of a sentence to look at someone else’s anatomy while supposedly talking to you, or simply saying thanks when you pick up the tab after drinks.... I just don't see how time has changed so much in the last ten years. And I don't understand why some men have to be so rude. I know I'd beat my sons if they behaved like some of the men I've met! And so would their girlfriends! Like when you first meet someone, you really don't have to look bored if they aren't a perfect 10! Doesn't it occur to you guys that WE KNOW we aren't 20 and beautiful??? Why rub it in!?! And for my own sake, after 40 we're not going to be a barbie, deal with it or date people young enough to care. I am a stable, intelligent and well spoken person with a strong independent personality, but I still have to say that I didn't start the sexual revolution and I shouldn't have to be punished because some old girlfriend of theirs didn't like being treated like a lady. I expect it. Another rant... guys, just because I make a good salary doesn't mean I am loaded and want to pay for your dinner or tickets... chip in! It can’t be that taboo to pay for your own drinks on a first date! And just for the record, I don't understand why some guys think they should be talking about their past lovers... OK, so your not married, your not "involved" and your claiming your ready for the new adventure of dating... so do it and quit telling me how horrible women are to you... or go gay? LOL OK, sorry folks, just thought I would shoot that one out there and see if someone could enlighten me... |

So after deciding that the area is too quiet I ran out to the store and discovered that Charles Town had a parade today... and yes, just as I was trying to get through to the other end of town! But it did show me that there must be hundreds of people living around here!! What a parkinglot! Reminded me of 66 in rush hour, but without the screaming, birds flying, and horns.
See it isn't that bad out here after all! |
