Manners......

[gness]

On the radio my lover who doesn't know he is was discussing manners.

He said that he always opens the car door for a lady and, if out to dinner, he always stands when a lady leaves the table....

Now, he can open my car door any day......but it got me wondering....

What can we ladies do to show good manners towards a man......apart from being gentle when we're correcting them?.......☺

make sure that each shopping bag isn't to heavy for them x

Write lists clearly.

[gness]

These are such good ideas.......though I did read Cupid's as.....

Let them play.......☺

[cupid04]

Let them instigate play ;-))

[gness]

Tony'll tease you for that one, Cupid!

Have their pipe and slippers ready when they come back from work
Pour them a martini and massage their shoulders when they get grumpy
Always keep your appearance neat and tidy for them
Never answer back or contradict them...and of course never ever have a 'headache'.....
ahhh the good old days, when men were men and women were grateful.

What I will never understand is WHY do ladies ever want a Man, nothing seems to be correct, is there a coupler out there who are truly happy and do not criticise their men ,Or is it just a case of jumping on the bandwagon.

The happier one is the more easily you can bring humour into your life.

Welcome to AB Christopher.

Thank them for their kindness.

"No please dont get up".

Smile sweetly and bat our eyelids. But when they put a tracker on your car, brain the ****. ;)

Rocky.....Too much....I only want to show some good manners......not send them off into the home for the totally bewildered and confused.........☺

Welcome to AB, Christopher.....nobody is talking about changing men......just showing them some kindness and appreciation.......without frightening them......x

Hi, BM.....I like that first bit........actually I like the second bit too!....☻

[andy-hughes]

That's interesting.

I am really big on manners, I think they are an indicator of respect and courtesy.

When the present Mrs Hughes and I were having a heated domestic yesterday morning, her vehicular flounce was curtailed by the fact that my car was blocking her exit off the drive. She demanded that move it, and stormed off to her car, hearing, but ignoring my response "What's the little word?"

After about two minutes, she came back, and although it was through gritted teeth, she did ask me please to move my car.

These little victories are what keeps love alive!!

Hi, Andy......I'm having fun with this.....but listening to my lover....etc.... got me thinking....
Men hold doors, open car doors, and so on......what are the little things that we do for them......apart from just being us...... ;-)

[Berniecuddles2]

women..funny species!

[gness]

Bernie!!!! You know a woman??!!!..... ;-)

[Berniecuddles2]

well...er i think so xx

[Barmaid]

AH, you are so so wrong.

Those "little victories" do not keep love alive. If it were me I would probably have screamed "Move your ******* car you ******* imbecile before I ****** move it for you" and then caught the bus.

I am sure you feel gratified you got her to say "please". I'll bet she spent an hour thinking "please? Please?!!! I'll give the **** "please"."
