Why don't alot of American men know how to treat a woman properly????
~Hanna~:
I'm just curious, does anyone have any insights about why it is SO DIFFICULT to treat women with a little bit of respect?
Especially the ones that are trying to live right.
Where are the defender's of women at? :crazy:
Or do we have to fight for ourselves?
:-X
I do realize one or two of you are here... :) or more....
Garrett:
Best guess would have to be the circumstances you are meeting these "Men".
If you look in a garbage can, do not be surprised when you find garbage.
~Hanna~:
I do not go anywhere to meet these men...what are you implying? :::D I guess that is why I've been alone now for so many years, :::D I stay holed up in my house, the cave.

I just came across the book yesterday at The Conservative Book Club, its now on my "to buy" list:
The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry
by Brad Miner
Miner explains that contrary to fashionable feminizing psychobabble, real manhood is not complicated. It is, in fact, an ancient ideal based on service to God, country, family, and friends. It's simple to state, yes, but not so easy to attain -- and worthy of a lifetime of struggle.
According to Miner, author of The Concise Conservative Encyclopedia and the National Review College Guide, a gentleman must stand out for his dignity, restraint, and discernment. Miner rejects the prevailing relativist notion that one way of behaving is as good as another, and insists that a gentleman must belong to an aristocracy not of wealth or birth, but of virtue. Proposing neither a club nor a movement, Miner instead advocates the adoption of a lofty code of manly conduct. Nor is this a mere gesture or pose: he argues compellingly that the widespread adoption of this code is essential for the survival of our republic.
With an engaging lightness of touch combined with a forthright willingness to state difficult and unpopular truths, Miner traces the concept of manliness from the jousting fields of the twelfth century to the decks of the Titanic. He delineates three masculine archetypes: the warrior, the lover, and the monk. Combined, he explains, these make up the "compleat gentleman." This modern knight cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with the passionate respect required by courtly love. And he values learning in the pursuit of truth - all with discretion, decorum, and the detachment that comes from a proper awareness of the true order of things.
The Compleat Gentleman contains the wisdom that can bring healing and renewal to our increasingly uncivilized age -- one gentleman at a time.
Discover what it takes to be The Compleat Gentleman:
* Explained: elements of the gentlemanly character that would have been obvious to any medieval knight, but which men today must labor to recover
* Honorable men fight: negative consequences that have come from the separation of combat from the chivalric ideal
* Why to be a gentleman is not to be a feminized man -- contrary to the popular modern misconception
* Are gentlemen born or made? A careful consideration in light of the characteristics of a true gentleman
* The one thing for which a compleat gentleman should be willing to risk death
* Compleat gentlemen in history (notably, General Robert E. Lee)
* How popular attitudes about military life are directly related to the popularity of the virtues associated with chivalrous gentlemen
* Why it is a mistake to dismiss the impact of courtly love upon Western culture
* Eleanor of Aquitaine: the key element of civilized life for which this remarkable woman deserves much of the credit
* Why the pen is not always mightier than the sword
* The single, simple virtue that sums up all the aspects of chivalry
* How a true gentleman meets a woman on her own terms, and yet in doing so shows the hollowness of today's ideological feminist drivel about oppression
* Discretion: why one of the compleat gentleman's most singular qualities is the ability to be cool with hot information
* Honesty and prudence: why it is so important to distinguish them from their common counterfeits
* Justice: how this most misunderstood of all virtues must form the center of the gentleman's character
* How the grandest of secular philosophies -- liberalism -- has been reduced to mere equivocation and relativism
* Why many modern understandings of what it means to be courageous are severely deficient
* Three essential truths powerful enough to turn a dyed-in-the-wool liberal into a rock-ribbed conservative gentleman
