I suggest that women in general, and young women in particular will often be treated based upon what they allow, and what they treat as acceptable language and behavior. If a lady accepts having her partner slap her around once in a while, that same behavior will continue. These following statements will clearly reveal my age:. Why do women accept "F-bombs" and foul language in public from their partners or male friends? I suggest it shows a lack of respect. When a woman walks up to our table or enters our area, I stand up. Open doors. Open car doors. Shut the hell up and LISTEN. They are signs of respect that I was taught as a young man, as well as, respect for women in general. Manners and displays of respect are not a sign of male weakness. They are signs of a strong, confident man who is comfortable in his own skin Women get the treatment and respect that they demand. Good or bad.
