Yes maam and no maam and (vice versa) to elderly and opening and closing doors (not just for your girlfriend/wife) but for everyone, hell it only takes a couple of seconds. Oh and compliments, I compliment at least three people per day. Have for about 4 years now, it means alot to some people you know. It is fading away unfortunately.

I still have the old fashioned values that my grandma instilled in my heart at a young age. Always use manners when seated at a table and when speaking to your elders. Always say thank you when a gentleman is kind enough to hopen your door and/or pull out a chair for you, especially since it seems to be a dying art form. And as old fashioned as it seems I still believe in letting a man make the first move by waiting for him to ask me out, or for the first dance, etc. I may for forward thinking in the work world, but in my personal life, I like to take a step back and enjoy some of the benefits you get from being a lady and being cared for by a true gentleman.

And the best old fashioned value of the all - Do unto others as you would whish them to do unto you. That's my favorite because I think if we were all just a little kinder to one another our world would be a much nicer place to live in.

Ending everything with a "Sir or Ma'am", Always being polite, If you want it done right then do it yourself, Always help those in need and never expect anything in return, Give everything your best effort, Treat a lady like she's the only person in your world if you care for her, never leave a door open, don't gossip since it only stirs up problems, wealth is aquired one penny at a time, patience and courtesy get you farther faster.

Patience is something I do not have much of either unlucky, but my friends tell me I am one of the most loyal people they know. I would always be willing to throw down for my friend or my lover. If need be!!***** Disclaimer this does not mean I support violence, quite the contrary actually, Just don't *uck with my peeps!!!!
