And here I thought chivalry was dead!
Do I have to shave first? I didn’t get a chance to this morning waking up late and all.
Here’s and interesting story from WorldNet Daily of all places on manners:

The last one, and most intimate (and most potentially offensive), I suprised ladybug with, early in our courtship:
If she receives that well, then the next step, of course, is to lick your pinky, get it good and wet, and slide it in there between the fingers.
It’s very true but there ARE some ladies left in this world and I consider myself one of them. I do not seek riches via my man, I do not seek fame via Internet/TV or video sex rompings, I do not backstab to gain my fortune or station, and I am certainly not “brainless bimbo” material. It’s a bit sad but some of us females are still sweet and not a part of that list. Ask my SO, he’ll vouch for me. 
He that would require thy SO to vouch for thee is no gentleman. And seeing as how my skills with a rapier are sorely lacking, I do hereby challenge him to a contest…in hand kissing!
En garde thou loutish scoundrel!
Some guys can pull it off, but some guys just look like dorks and weird out the girls.
You know, some women really love the feeling of an unshaven face…
This Spider’s a chick… my SO is a man, he vouches that I am a “lady” and not one of the Deadly Four on that link mentioned above. You’ve lost me but fight on, my good fellow.
I went to college about an hour from one of the few remaining all-male colleges, and every freshman received a booklet on proper gentlemanly manners. Everything from how to greet people to how many labels or brand names it was appropriate to have visible on your clothing.
Charming and old-fashioned and, yes, very appealing.
We need more chivalry, that’s all there is to it!
As long as it’s not Christopher Walken on SNL - oh dear God, those were funny skits!
I pause to recall whether I’ve ever had my hand kissed…hmm.
You know, chivalry was invented by an ‘ass’ man.
Think about it…
As a guy who thinks that hand kissing is quite noble and loves to do it, I haven’t done it in a long time simply because there aren’t many women who offer their hand for a kiss these days. Just sticking a hand out doesn’t cut it. A gentleman never offers his hand first, and if a lady does not offer her hand with the palm down, a guy is risking hell on earth to pay if he turns it to kiss. There is a subtlety to it on both sides. But even on a first meeting shake, a guy should at least give a slight bow.
If real hard-core, old school, Eleanor of Aquitaine chivalry comes back, all courtly love and what not, songs of praise to the Lady Fair, etc., then duels really better make a comeback. I mean, what the hell is chivalry if you aren’t going to back it up with a little grass before breakfast?
Who’s with me?
Screw duels. I want jousting.
HUZZAH! I love it, Mr Babbington!!! I want duels and jousts in my honor, hell yeah! I want a serenade from beneath my window… Gimme it all!!
Wet and sloppy is out? Since when?!
What, we have to joust AND be John Cusack?
C’mon, I already open doors for you and y’all want this now? Sheesh.
Fine. Just… wash your hands first, okay?
