...look at how many women now days are self proclaimed tomboys...

I'm trying to remember the last time I heard a woman proclaim herself a "tomboy."  It's been a while, and it's certainly not frequent.

[StillAWarrior]

No kidding

OK, I actually laughed out loud.

Wow, glad I read this...

Actually, Guru, I get where you're coming from.  In my experience I can agree that the younger ones seem more "girly" then maybe females your age.   

I know a few guys who share your same preferences. I chose to get hitched to an Asian woman. I felt their traditions more so align with my preferences over the years of dating multiple females.

Best of luck Guru!!

What exactly is that revealing?

Good lord.

i may not capitalize much, but when it comes to God and Christmas, etc. i ALWAYS capitalize.  never use the term for Christmas using x.  i believe terms as such deserve the utmost respect.

If I ask someone are you more "girly" or more tomboy. I overwhelming get more "tomboy" responses than "girly" responses. And of course everyone's definition of "girly" is different. Then I have met some who say they are far more "girly". Except when I start to spend time with them, and observe their mannerisms etc, and they are certainly not "girly" by my definition anyway. Sometimes yes, they are, but not all the time.

Yeah but if someone is an atheist or agnostic do they owe such respect when saying "Oh my God". For the record I agree with you regarding Christmas but that phrase relates to their personal beliefs so what else does it reveal other than their religious beliefs?

No need for that.   Let grievances air.  Let opinions be known.   Don't take this thread there.

VPL is one of the most hateful visual affronts to a solid workout.

Nothing offends my engineering sensibilities more than 10 pounds crammed into a 5 pound sack. I find this practice more prevalent in the south and upper midwest than in other regions.

So God is capitalized when you are referring to the Christian God. It's his/her name.

Christmas is capitalized because it's a proper name. It has nothing to do with respect.

You couldn't be more of a brainless, slack jawed Fox News viewer if you tried.

Good lord.

Rocket alert!  Chastise this man for failing to live up to your beliefs.

[Jon]

Rachel. Rachel Madow.

Williams. Brian Williams. Brian "There I Wasn't" Williams. Brian "Stolen Valor" Williams.

Where do we get such men?

I find that women like having doors held for them.     And so do men.    Most people appreciate kind gestures.    I only buy one woman flowers randomly, and after 27 years, she generally reacts with suspicion.    And while you long for a woman who wants to be treated like a lady, I find that most want to be treated like an equal first.   

Agree on the "door thing" and am generally quick to hold one open for women and men, friends and strangers. And, as you say, a polite or thoughtful gesture is usually appreciated.

But, as you say, equality first. On a first date 48 years ago next month, the young lady and I chatted as we walked from her dorm to my car. I arrived at the driver's side and opened the door, She stood at the passenger's side and gave me a bit of a look. I was slightly flummoxed, knew I had screwed up - but recovered quickly. "You know, (fill in her name), I've been wanting to ask you out and get to know you better for a while. If I'd known you didn't know how to open a car door I might not have been so eager". She laughed. 46 years of marriage, 4 kids, 5 grands and counting - thank God she had a sense of humor.

  with all due respect eagle, i still think, regardless of belief in or not, the word or mention of God should be capitalized.  but that's just my prejudice and belief system.
