Amen. My son is quite comfortable in his own skin and does the small things right — he gets the door for a lady, he is kind, courteous and considerate to the fairer sex — and he’s so good at it, he’s getting to the point where he’s going to have to beat the teenage girls away with a stick :)
Not all women mind being treated well. The young man who understands that his role is to be a gentleman will still go far in today’s world.
And, I am one of them. I can very well do things on my own, but there is something "sexy" about a gentleman. Maybe it has to do with respect.
When a man walks in front me, not to open the door for me, but to go through first, that to me is disrespectful. And, I get a lot of that around the work place.
p.s. I would recommend getting rid of the term "fairer sex" because some of us find that a demeaning term. Try female gender instead or lovely ladies or ?????
“Not all women mind being treated well.”
I sure don’t mind!!! Kindness and respect go a long way to
make me sit up and notice!
Thank you for raising your son to be a gentleman. You have
done a good thing and he is most likely handsome, too.
The girls will fall in love with him and then you’ll have
another kind of worry! LOL!
But he will go far in the “real world” where manners count for something!
We women notice those things and approve...unless we have
an ax to grind.
