Guys, if you want the girl to like you, pay attention

This past weekend we had that whole romantic weekend thing going on.

I hear from many younger men their complaints about woman, and I also hear that they don't know what to do to impress a woman.

Well, guys, let me give you a clue. What I witnessed this past weekend in the manners department speaks volumes at to why the ladies are so damn disgusted with you.

It is basic stuff guys, that no amount of flowers, sweet talk, or even diamonds can overcome.
(Okay, Diamonds can overcome a lot of failings, but still..)

So here's the issue:

Guys, you have no manners. If I had a dollar for every clod I saw that escorted a beautiful woman into a restaurant this weekend, and didn't hold the door for her, or pull a chair out for her, I'd have a couple of hundred bucks, easy.

Guys, it is those simple acts of common courtesy that will set you apart from the crowd!
Okay, the clod I am especially singling out I saw Sunday afternoon at a restaurant. If she thinks enough of the date to wear a dress and make up, and look that nice, and you drive a BMW Z3, don't tell me that you don't own dress clothes! You didn't hold the door for her, and you didn't grab her chair. You left her sitting alone while you gabbed with someone you knew on the other side of the restaurant for 10 minutes! Hello!!!

You should introduce them! It's called manners!

I have to tell you, if I stood there with my hands in my pockets and didn't hold the door for a lady, like you did, my Dad would have smacked me on the side of the head! I hold the door for my wife, I get her chair, feminism be damned!

Yes, there are independent women, but still, woman appreciate a man who understands his chivalrous duties, and can discern between being a gentleman and a misogynist jerk!

So get off your ass and be a gentleman! That's an order! And the rest of you, teach these things to your kids!
I see one more pack of kids push their way past a group of old folks entering an establishment while the parents lag behind, I'm reporting you to child services! Now lets do it!

Their called manners! Get them, Use Them, and practice them! Can I get an Amen?!

Amen! As you say, there is courtesy ans there is misogyny (sp?). I love being shown the simple courtesies such as holding a door and pulling out chair. and certainly being introduced! And having my partner NOT talking/texting at the table. I can, however, open my car door myself.

I second that AMEN! but I think you mean chauvinist, not misogynist. Why even bother to ask me out if you are going to take me to Champs and watch whatever game is on? Do you want to be with me or the game? I hate that!
