Where Have All The Gentlemen Gone?

As of late, it seems as if gentlemen have just disappeared. No longer do you see most guys opening doors for ladies or carrying heavy items so ladies don't have to. Guys don't walk up to ladies and say "Hi, how are you today?" Instead, they walk up talking about how "thick" you are or how big your breasts or behind are. Now, truth be told, some guys may not have been taught how to approach a lady and to that same effect, some ladies haven't been taught how to act like ladies. I had to stop and ask myself one day if girls really respond to the way some of these guys talk to them and my answer was emphatically yes! Guys would act better if they knew better and girls would demand more respect if they truly realized the respect they deserved. We need more men stepping up to the plate and showing our youth how to act. It is more likely that a boy is being raised by his single mother than either both his mother and father or just his father which means he is never taught the proper ways to approach and interact with a woman. A woman CAN NOT be a man and woman try as though she might. And to the same token, it is more likely that a girl is raised by her single mother than either her mother and father or just her father which means she never gets to see how a man and woman are supposed to interact, she's never taught the rules of the game as only a man can teach her. I said all this to say that, if we had more men showing our young men what it is to be a REAL man,one who treats everyone with respect (beginning with himself) and carries himself like a gentleman, not one chasing skirts and wearing pants 3 sizes too big. And if more women would show our young ladies how to carry themselves like ladies and to respect themselves FIRST and not have guys walking all over them like doormats, true gentlemen wouldn't be a dying breed...
