Agreed, agreed, agreed, to
everyone! Maybe, if we're lucky, at least a few "Wilts" are growing up now, and at least our children can experience such (currently lost) chivalry.
Unfortunately, my generation of guys grew up thinking that being rude is "totally radical" and "gnarly". *le sigh*
Maybe that's why nowadays, I'm a sucker for a guy that will just hold the door for me and call me "ma'am" instead of "cutie" or "gorgeous".
