Ladies and Gentlemen

There was once a time when gentlemen opened doors for gentle, delicate and demure ladies dressed in modest attire. The would giggle softly and establish a sense of propriety in both public and private exchanges with one another. Chairs were pulled out at the dinner table and handwritten letters linked lovers with distance between them. Promises about forever were kept.

Now, women dressed suggestively make advances to men in dimly lit venues. They press their bodies against one another while being photographed for the latest promotion displaying "ideal nightlife." They may go home with each other that first night, they may not. It can be sure, though, that when he gets home he will find her on some social networking site, and most of their communication will happen there. If it does grow into something more serious, don't worry, the ball and chain can be removed simply with little to no consequence. After all, you just don't love her like you used to right? Or things have changed beween the both of you? Or you think you may have married the wrong girl?

Today when bachelors meet women with and standards at all, we are regarded too picky. Therefore, many girls are forced to lower their standards, but in the back of their mind they realize they should be treated with more respect.

Well, I do declare, that I am a lady. Your coarse language and vulgar catcalls do not make me swoon. Your respect towards other women, -including your mother-, and me is much appreciated and will not go unnoticed. Your courage to ask for my telephone number and not my screen name is not not overlooked. You are welcomed to ...for once... be a man, step up and treat women like ladies, they are to be treasured and cherished.

And for the ladies, encourage. encourage. encourage. Gentlemen value a lady's encouragement.

"A wife of noble character who can find?She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value." Proverbs 31:10
