[little man]

good manners never go out of style. or so my grandma always told me.

once we've established personal friendships with people, we learn what their tolerances are for ribald humor and profanity and what kind of porn they like. until we've established a personal relationship with someone, we should show the respect we'd like to have shown us upon initial contact.

i don't like the *wink-wink, nudge-nudge* stuff in my day to day life. the friends i have do not engage in that behavior with me. i swear like a sailor and know when to curb it...in polite company. i do have decent manners and exercise them regularly.

i don't, however, think that femmes, females, women are entitled to *more* respect than anyone else. we all should have a sense of decency and propriety that we operate under. vulgarity is just plain unattractive.

this may even make sense outside my head.
