69. I am woman...hear me roar!

As I was working at the ATT store tending to my customers I came upon this idea for a blog.

I went out with a very successful lawyer. GOSH she was amzing. She met me at the restaurant....spoke very well as she told me about all her accomplishments...she needed to pay for half the bill and in fact...called me three days later for a second date. SEXY. I mean she had great stories...she was the 3rd of 4 children...she was the first to get a college education and gradute. She lived on the 35th floor penthouse in downtown and could not be happier. amazing

I met a local girl that works at kinko's. She lives with her parents, barely graduated from high school, spoke often about wanting to read the latest archie comic book but didn't have the motivation to do the work for it. She was the 2nd of 4 children and had never considered doing anything but tanning, drinking at night and looking good.

The question...the more independent you are...the more academic degrees you hold...the more "prestigious" you are...are you less courteous and less likely to care for others?

Here was the difference. I opened the door for the local girl, as she leaned over and opened my door from the inside...she asked me if I like lemon on shrimp as she squeezed some lemon on my appetizer...she cleaned up the plates for the waitress to pick them up more easily and even thanked me for taking her out. I mention this because although the conversation with the local girl was about the absorbancy power of a sponge and with the lawyer was about life...the local girl did something that truly blew me away...not literally sickos! she was courteous!!! It was amazing...I was a gentleman...and she was a lady. It blew me away because she did it unconsciously...she knew to do these things without thinking...whereas the lawyer never thought about it...it was as if she was entitled. So interesting....

one gentlman at my local subway said, "the attorney just didn't know to do those things...she did not the manners that the other one did....she didn't know how to cook, she had a maid, she just porbably wasn't brought up that way."

my best girl friend in the world told me, "all I want in a man is for him to be able to hunt down, wrestle and kill a pig for me....let a man be a man."

In our course for more...in our drive to be ever more successful and only caring about ourselves...are we losing the respect and courtesy for others? The dog eat dog world often challenges us but in the course for always wanting more...are we losing our sense of tradition?

p.s.
yes there are wo/men that are smart, independent and traditional...yes they exist...if you find one...TELL THEM TO CALL ME!!! :)
