Where have all of the gentlemen gone? (8)
IrishLass1Metairie, USA71 Threads 1,998 PostsIt used to be that a man would at least smile and say hello. It seems in today society, they have forgotten their manners and are in too much of a rush.
not all men are like that there r still some of us with manners.
I hate the whole rushing thing. Life is too short to zoom by everything and forget the simple, genuinely human things.
i don't know any gentlemen...i consider myself an educated redneck - but i love to flirt - including smile and hellos!!
Well growing up in Louisiana, most people used to be flirts as the rest of the country called us. We were a place that no matter if you were a man or woman passing by someone would say hello and take a few seconds to ask how you are doing. This seems to be a changing trend.
The Big Easy is what they used to call the New Orleans area, people used to take their time and not be in such a rush. It seem this is changing, even the kids are rushing things. There was a time when people took their time to get to know each other really well. I see too many people rushing and getting hurt in the end.

i do not beleave that is totaly true ,as we get older we tend to forget that MANNERS ARE FREE.
And still open doors too, and trying to teach my kids the same.
I admire that you are willing to teach your kids what manners are. I know it is hard to teach kids what seems to be a forgotten art. I remember staying with my aunts and if you did not use manners, you were reminded. I still to this day, say thank you to waiters and waitresses and when ordering another drink, may I have another. Also I still say yes ma'am, yes sir, and no ma'am, no sir when asked questions, I get some strange looks when the person is younger then me. Even at work, I tell people thank you Sweetie.
