Do Ladies Prefer Gentlemen? (page 5)

AGuest

would probably be among the few who would call me a "lady" (may you all have peace!), I would say that I do prefer a "gentle" man (which I believe a great many men really are and, on many occasions, it is actually the really touch sister behind them that is manifest). And while what is meant by "gentlemen" isn't always clear these days, I do agree with some of the definitions above.

But I had lunch with my daughter (age 30) and a couple of her girlfriends some months ago and, as young women do, they were deriding their husbands/boyfriends/fiances for things like untidiness, forgetfulness, oblivion, cluelessness... ogling... etc. Don't get me wrong: they were doing it "in love." But after a time I had to ask them just what qualities they wanted in a man/husband/boyfriend, etc., and after each had finished their "list" it was clear to me that they didn't want men/husbands/boyfriends; they wanted women/wives/girlfriends (clean, tidy, listens, never forgets, pays attention, doesn't like sports (too much), etc.). And I told them so. They were quite surprised.

My point? While men and women are equal... we are different. Very different. We are NOT the same. And that truth often escapes us in our younger years. We are not so different, however, that we can't exist together; in fact, it is our differences, which we should recognize, acknowledge, even celebrate, that make it WONDERFUL to exist together!

Good lordy, if there was nothing but women on this planet, what a mess: we would all compare, critique, criticize, pick each other apart, and just overall "meddle" ourselves into oblivion within a matter of a few years, if not a few months! And if there was nothing but men, well... let's just say the lack of a Dallas Cowboy cheerleading squad might just push most of them to suicide within a year, if they didn't drop bombs on each other first, for some ridiculous reason!

I love being a woman and what makes me a woman; I truly would never want to be a man. However, as a mother, wife, aunt and grandma, I also love men and what makes them men. And it ain't the same. Praise JAH for that!

I bid you peace.

All the girls that have approached me (And which up until this year I had to reject ) told me I was such a nice guy. Even random girls on the street I offer a couple bowls of weed to (not on that anymore) cannot believe that I would just share 10-20 dollars of weed with them with no strings attached, simply because I wanted some company and some laughs with some people, they too could not stop saying that they'd never seen a nicer happier person.

I'm slowly coming to realise that going downtown to a club or some s**t like that is not going to find me a female that will be compatible with me (most looking for...certain parts of a relationship only). I will need to find such a female randomly or purposely once I figure out where such like-minded people such as I but of the other gender frequent.

My first real relationship of any deep significance with the opposite sex happened this last month. She was completely unreceptive to my extreme passion and sensuality. I get the impression she's only been with "bad guys" and had no idea how to be treated with complete admiration and respect. She did admit to me of being molested by a 50something year old guy when she was 11. So it's obvious she has many issues to work out. I guess most of the guys she's been with just want to bang her hard and just do juvenile BS, smoke up, etc.

Aries! I am so going through weed withdrawal right now! Anyone else go though this?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I appreciate your candid comments - they are always enlightening!

Many thanks,

I know this may sound trivial, but my dad is in a wheelchair and you would not believe how often people see me struggling with a door to push him through and they just stare at me. More than once I've said things like: "i guess there are no gentelmen left in the world" as I walk away.

wow I find people are rushing to open doors for me - even when there is a button to open the door I wonder if just seeing you with him makes them think you can handle it.

a tip: open the door and pull him through backwards using your body and then the chair to hold the door open

yesterday I saw a woman pushing a wheelchair and she was trying to push her friend off of the train. The front wheel got caught in the crack between the train and the platform. I suggested she make sure the smaller front tires hit the gap straight on. She found a better solution. She turned around and came out backwards - and that was better than my idea

Sorry.

Thank you for the practical tip, Lady Lee!

Warlock - so good to hear from you, but doesn't your true confession belong on changeling's thread? Don't allow my sincere inquiry to put you off returning!

What's this about holding doors for women? I've always thought it proper to hold the door for anyone behind me, regardless if they're a man or a woman. Am I the only one?

I always do this too.

Personally I love when a man treats me like a lady. Holding doors, giving me respect and love; I do the same in return.
It does seem that a lot of the younger guys don't do things like that anymore. I'm not saying only older men still do but that's been my experience.

lol....this Board is getting crazier by the week. This persons definition of a gentleman is that he is willing to share drugs with any "random" women he meets on the street.

That is a definition of an idiot.

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you are a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you are gay.

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don't work enough, you are a good for nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you are gay.
If you don't, you are an insensitive jerk.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you are a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's liberated a woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.
If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you are a sexist.
If you don't, you are unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you are vain.
If you don't, you are a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you are after something.
If you don't, you are not thoughtful.

If you are proud of your achievements, you are up on yourself.
If you aren't, you are not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she is tired.
If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.
