This, I take as yet another sign, that women are finding out that the world they created with feminism isn’t exactly what they wanted.
Well, too bad, so sad. Women created this situation. They broke it, they bought it, they own it.
When I do these very things, because I have a very traditional way of going about courting, I am treated with what can only be described as suspicion.
The way modern women treat men... like they are the buffoonish men they see on their television set, is a result of culture rot and feminism... It sucks.
The grandchildern vary in age from 1-21 and so they defy being lumped together under one adjective. But, we love them all.
I’m the ‘girl’. No, he didn’t bring me flowers.
As an unmarried bachelor with a good business this advice is bunk. Whoever wrote this has never dealt with an unmarried American woman in the dating realm. I would elaborate but I most certainly would be banned from FR.
And that goes double for not being able to elaborate.
“As an unmarried bachelor with a good business this advice is bunk.”
Yep, a set up for failure if I ever saw one!
The nicer I was to girls I really liked the quicker they lost interest. Playing hard to get is not just good advice for women.
Fifty years ago, dating actually meant items 1 through 9 on that list.

Indeed it did. And widespread depression among the young was unheard of.
I also found that being seen cleaning a firearm when the young man arrives for the first date can be a marvelous conversation starter. (a) It clears the air regarding my intent to defend my family in all possible contingencies, and (b) it lets both my daughter and me know if this young man is worth the trouble of a second date (i.e., a litmus test on political leanings).
I open the car door for my wife of 25+ years, as well. Far from annoying her, she expects it and becomes bothered when I don’t (unless, of course, I’m carrying bags of groceries or something similar).
More than once, after witnessing this, her married friends have asked her how she “taught” me to do it (not to mention the comments from strangers about where she found me). Fact is, I did on our first date and it was one of the things that persuaded her that a second date with me was worthwhile.
Both of our twenty-something sons also do this on dates and never cease to be amazed by the positive response from the young women they are with.
Our first date 31 years ago was to see a movie. I fell asleep right after it started. lol I was working 2 jobs at the time. 7 months later we were married.
Hubby still opens my car door (ok, all doors) for me. And I still thank him every time, too. When our girls were home, he opened their car doors, too. He'd make a circle around the car, opening all our doors. True southern gentleman.
You and I have similar thoughts. The first time I met my daughter's first boyfriend, I showed him some of my groupings. Later she told me I'd scared him. I told her I wasn't seeing any down side to that.
I think the sometime annoyance comes with crowded parking and my sometimes lagging behind... I do it for most all ladies though my girls are usually too quick for me.
I always take flowers or something on a first date.
The sexualization of children has run unabated for sixty years. All they’ve been taught is item #10.
