PLEASE Do a Part II to this post....These old men seem to have developed a case of new-timers, please they need help! I actually had a man (61) to ask me "how close am I to getting intimate with you? Considering we've had drinks twice at Stan's and 2 brief yet friendly visits at his house... I wanted to introduce him to my mother- oh thank God I didn't! I'm jsut really bit confused by all the age 45-60 men who seem to have reverted to their back in the day Mack daddy "come an git it", "I'm the man" "girl I'mma tear it up" methods. They introduce themselves as "gentlemen"- to which I think, If you're carrying a sign you're trying to sell me something....then I say "a gentleman would NEVER say that". They spend the next hour trying to convince ME how much of a gentleman they really are. They really think they're doing something, but all they're accomplishing is making themselves look exactly like what they are: old men at the club, posted up at the bar, buying 1 "rail drink" for each "just past legal" cuties who ain't payin them no mind, but only AFTER she pays for her first drink. They won't open a door, pull out a chair or give up their seat...(don't consider offering) but will tell you how fine your ass is and how "sweet" you are and how good they can be to you. Ttalking slick (think the 70s) and slurring nonsense about "how they can work it" with they're broken-down,puttered out half limp penises all while looking like the vulture on Bugs Bunny, smelling like mashed-up grandaddies and thinking they can pull something 35-40years younger! Sadly, they remain ignorant and tell me I'm missing out on a "good thing"! Chivalry might not be dead, but it's dead to the men...and women who were certainly taught better. I'm going to address this on Thursday in DC (2/10/11)....be ready! Damn Champ- I hope you see this!
PLEASE Do a Part II to this post….These old men seem to have developed a case of new-timers, please they need help!
I actually had a man (61) to ask me “how close am I to getting intimate with you? Considering we’ve had drinks twice at Stan’s and 2 brief yet friendly visits at his house… I wanted to introduce him to my mother- oh thank God I didn’t!
I’m jsut really bit confused by all the age 45-60 men who seem to have reverted to their back in the day Mack daddy “come an git it”, “I’m the man” “girl I’mma tear it up” methods.
They introduce themselves as “gentlemen”- to which I think, If you’re carrying a sign you’re trying to sell me something….then I say “a gentleman would NEVER say that”. They spend the next hour trying to convince ME how much of a gentleman they really are.

I don't need some of the traditional stuff, door opening when we're walking into or out of an establishment? Check. Carrying shit for me? Check. But I think some things depend on where you are. I mean it's one thing if you're going to a function or a restaurant like Le Cirque or Aquavit or something... but I'd feel like an ass sitting there and waiting for you to walk around the car and open my door in front of damn Olive Garden. I would clearly just get out the damn car and go get my salad and breadsticks. LOL Nice. I don’t need some of the traditional stuff, door opening when we’re walking into or out of an establishment?
