Nah.. I still have my spine... I dont go "work extra hours" to pay for things.. Im honest about it. If I need to pay for a woman.... I would prefer to tell her up front, than try to sneak it in the back.
As for a man giving his word, and its not broke no matter the cost... God help you. Sorry, Im not up for making vows, then handing over my spine and cojones to some ballbuster who one day wakes up and decides Im her dinner plate. Thats what YOU are for.
I dont lie... dont like how it feels... besides, if you tell a lie today, you may have to tell a bigger one tomorrow to cover up today.
LOL.... and nice diatribe there buddy... I dont loathe being a man. Ive read your posts, and your definitions, although skewed, may have been correct.. 60 years ago. Self preservation dictates current actions. Come real or Stay home.
So, no, I dont lie, dont cheat, dont steal, but I also dont play into having to subjegate myself in hopes of winning the approval of a woman. By your posts, it sounds like you are one of those guys who puts a woman on a pedestal, showers her with gifts, fights anyone that would talk negatively, and honors some old code.... Very heroic, but not really based in reality. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 8:57:00 PM | yay for us old fashioned girls :)
I can cook & sew, like to look nice, usually wear a skirt/dress instead of pants (except when it's super cold outside), usually get my gas at full-serve, i'm a scare-dy cat when it comes to bugs, love to have a tidy and pretty house AND have a university degree, a job I love and support myself fully and completely. I admit to having a bit of the 1950's housewife in me and wouldn't have it any other way 
I know that relationships can't always be 50/50 all the time, so when push comes to shove, I'm willing to admit that I'd prefer the 49%
that will probably get me kicked out of the woman's union, i'm sure :( | |

Posted: 1/30/2008 2:21:14 PM | | Thank God for women like ya'll .. nothing wrong at all about old fashioned women.... I also open doors and pamper any girl I date ( just the way I was raised) .

Posted: 1/31/2008 1:03:33 PM | I just have a little point to make here...
I'm wondering exactly at what period people are referring to when they say they act 'old-fashioned' toward women? They refer to being chivalrous, etc, as if it's a description of a way of life that once was.
My point is that men, by and large, have treated women with anything BUT decency throughout history! Naturally there have always been nicer, politer, more charming, more refined men, but they've always been the exception rather than the rule. Salem, women's inability to vote in North America, and current Middle Eastern attitudes come to mind. Just don't buy into the 1800s epic romances, or the 1950s romantic musicals, that were created by Hollywood to appeal to women. Men by their nature simply aren't genetically predisposed to acting like the men in those Harlequinized movies.
The only thing that saves us is our ability to, through sheer force of will and respect for the fairer sex, set aside our natural nature (holy redundancy there!) and make the effort. With patience and willpower, we men can be trained to perform simple tasks.
Women, no men are 'old-fashioned' in the sense being conveyed here. We just do our best. And those who try are the ones who appreciate the old fashioned girls. | |

Posted: 1/31/2008 1:26:34 PM | If you mean by old fashion, stay in the kitchen and cook dinner then no, absolutly not, however I think we are looking for, at leaset I am, a women who wants to be treated like a lady but also has a modern flare to her. What I mean is we still want to open the door for you and not be looked as as a weirdo who is looking to score, why can't it just be that we are opening the door for you and that's it.
There are some who are looking for the traditional old fashion women, but I think most of us have evolved and need more. Today society is very stressful and we have to take care of each other, not one person taking care of the other. So to answer your question, we would like an woman with old fashion values, but also modern world support. | |

Posted: 2/1/2008 11:19:52 AM | | Sorry I guess I sould have been more clear. There is noting wrong with cooking in the kitchen, what I meant was that it should not just be the woman doing all the work. As for the modern twist thing, lets see if I can explain this better. I am the type of guy who loves to open doors for women. I feel that there should be some old fashion qualities like opening the doors for a lady, helping her up and down the stairs because it is difficult to do thisn in heels, however I also feel that in this era of equality that a woman should also be self sufficent and be able to take care of herself. Not rely on the man 100% to provide and protect. I don't mean to offend anyone, so if this need more discussion I am willing to go deeper | |

Posted: 2/21/2008 10:51:46 AM | | I think some define what old fasioned is in different ways. I for one look at old fashioned as a woman who lived somewhere between 10,000 and 2,000 years ago. Sort of like Daryl Hannah in Clan of the Cave Bear. Now that is my kind of old fasioned woman, the one that likes to wear skins and knows lots of plants that can be used for medicine and kick some ass too. | |

I was just wondering if men still want an oldfashioned girl and do you feel they still exist
It's the same as the constant cry of "I want a real man" or "I want a gentleman" .... The gentleman role was a counterpart to Ladies, of which there are very few if any left now, the modern women destroyed that notion with feminism to gain equality and in the same stride took out the counterpart roles for the males.
So personally no, I want an evolved modern woman who stands shoulder to shoulder with me, looks be in the eye, backs me up as well as asks for help, as I do to her, it's mutual given respect, not negotiated behaviours any more. | |

Posted: 2/21/2008 5:28:56 PM | | Hm, old fashioned, probably. A girl that's honest, affectionate, has basic morals and self esteem is alright in my book. Whether that's old fashioned or new age doesn't really come into play for me, there are just certain traits that I find attractive about a woman but if I had to guess which category most of those traits fell into I would probably say old fashioned. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 7:37:15 PM | | What about a combination of old fashioned and up to date? Maybe I should make myself clear on this. I've was born and raised in the south, grew up on a farm. Was taught good manners which I still use to this day and I was taught that you had to work hard for what you earned in life, not to expect handouts from others. I can cook, sew, cross stitch. But I can also do electrical work, sheetrocking, lay down laminate flooring and more. I do stand up for myself and am good at speaking my mind. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself and can pay my own bills. So I see myself as a strong self sufficient southern woman that still loves for a man to open a door for me! | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 1:56:19 AM | Yes I want one, no I don't think many of them exist.
However old fashioned seems to go hand in hand with religious zealot these days. I'm having someone with a little less faith and a bit more of the values. Plus it wouldn't hurt to find someone that's just lookin for some commitment before climbin into bed rather than either of the alternatives, any guy that smiles at her or waitin for marriage.
Divorce would be a tricky buisness if you were sexually compatible. | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 2:53:59 AM | Old fashioned SINGLE women??? Really, they still do exist, (puzzled) hmmmmm lol.
You mean I can come home after working hard all day to a good dinner, clean house, play with kids, put them to bed then have a beer or two while watching U of L game (if they're winning at halftime then great sex), then have great sex again for a Holiday Inn type sleep......shiiitttttt, send her my way.  | |

They refer to being chivalrous, etc, as if it's a description of a way of life that once was.
My sons, 21 and 28, tell me that most girls/women their age rant if they try to open the door for them. Stating they are not helpless. It is not a matter of helpless, they simply are doing as they were taught. I keep telling them somewhere is a woman who will appreciate them. I personally adore a man who treats me like a lady. I can stand shoulder to shoulder (although, I prefer that is shoulder is several inches higher) and can probably stand toe to toe with a great deal of men, but there is time and place for the softer side and I am most accepting of their chivalrousness and I always thank them.
It's the same as the constant cry of "I want a real man" or "I want a gentleman" .... The gentleman role was a counterpart to Ladies, of which there are very few if any left now, the modern women destroyed that notion with feminism to gain equality and in the same stride took out the counterpart roles for the males. The only equality I wanted was the same pay for doing the same work with the same benefit. I don't want to be a man.
I want a man's man (not a Neanderthal) who also has the softer gentler side but not a pansy or a doormat. No wonder men are so confused as to what to do. We want them to act so many different ways they don't know who to be with whom. I suggest you offer to get the door for the lady and see what happens. I can assure you most of us on here would like it. | |
