Due to the valentines spirit that I'm in (romantic all that junk), I just find something amusing. One thing really sticks out to me about peoples perceptions nowadays.

Why is it necessary for a guy to open a door for a girl or respect only the girl that he likes or wants to show he loves her? When did being a gentleman only count for someone you are in a relationship with? Why do girls not expect to be respected by guys unless they are in a relationship?
In the same way, why does a girl want every guy that she is interested in to ogle at the amount of skin that she is showing, but then gets disgusted when some other guy notices.
GIRLS
Do girls even want to be respected anymore? Seems like they don't make it a requirement for a relationship (you know it's true), and they sure do act like it's an unusual or rare thing when a guy does show some respect.
GUYS
Why do we think that it's only necessary to respect those girls that we are attracted to? Why do we say "Oh she doesn't mind" or "She's cool" whenever we talk about things that would offend any other girl. In my opinion we need to treat all girls with more respect and then maybe those who don't act respectible will improve.
I'm not looking to get a pat on the back for being a gentleman cuz even I need to improve. It just bothers me that I can't even tell a girl she looks nice without everyone thinking that I like her. Especially during this time in my life when I don't really even want a girlfriend. Good grief...

Hey Russ... believe it or not most girls do notice when guys are really respectful. I still remember way back when we were on a youth leadership retreat with Pastor Tommy and we were doing that photo thing... The fact that the guys all turned their backs when they realized it was awkward for the girls to try to get onto the bar or whatever was huge. Being new, I was just starting to get to know the group. The fact that you all didn't brag about it or say anything, but just showed respect made a huge impact on what I thought of you guys.
Also, sadly the whole feminist movement has given some the idea that girls don't need to be 'ladies' if we want guys to be gentlemen than we need to act appropriately as well... I'm sad to admit that girls as a whole don't.
you need to update :-/
