I was raised old school southern gentleman,
You always said yes ma’am and no ma’am, treated women with respect, opened doors for them, pulled out their chairs for them, complimented them and meant it, went out of your way to do things for them, and never thought about getting physically violent with a woman. It was a code of chivalry in a way, sadly when I left the home town I was raised in I found out that my “quaint and antiquated” behavior was an opening to be mocked and ridiculed not only by the “woman” who I was going out with but by everybody else. I found out that it was unacceptable for me to open a door for a lady, or pull out her chair for her at a restaurant, or to do many of the things I had been taught were right and proper to do for the fairer sex.
So I stopped. I became a hard and bitter male, women were just there to be greedy, selfish and malevolent pains in my ass. They did not want a “knight in somewhat rusted and dented armor” who would treat them with respect. They wanted someone who they could use as a doormat.
I asked myself why I should go out of my way to be treated like dirt. And I feel that a number of guys feel the same way. This has spread through the male community because the women have lets us know in no uncertain terms they are as fully capable as we are to do anything we can do. Fine. Now women are bitching they are not treated like women. What the hell do you want?
You can’t have it both ways; you can’t beat a dog every day for no reason and then expect it to come to you for affection. Either you accept the fact that you are a woman and behave like one. Not some money grubbing, gold digging, spoiled little bitch, but a woman. Or you accept the fact you are not going to be treated like a woman and shown the courtesy that you used to be shown and embrace the fact you now have what you wanted, equality.
For myself, I have found and old school girl who like how I was raised and appreciates that I love her and would do anything for her. I wish everyone success in their hunt for a mate, I have mine.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I will either be single for life or get the woman I want. I’ve had plenty of that other type and it ain’t worth it buddy.
And for those women who act like men, they get treated like men. I treat everyone fair but take no BS. If they challenge me and bring the attitude, and they are wrong, they get rolled.
Of course, those kind of women can’t handle opposition and fold like a tent because they’re used to getting their way. My attitude is that they’ll live.
