Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Channing Tatum

"It means EVERYTHING. We have better manners. The other day this lady's umbrella blew away, and it just made sense to go and get it for her. Some men forget that"

It's totally true. One of the things I miss most about the South are the manners! Men in the midwest just DON'T have them like men in the South do!

Well, he's right about southern men. Because, northern men, especially the liberals, don't know much about being gentlemen. Unfortunately, I think the women's movement has a lot to do with it. Women wanted to be treated like men and that's what they got. I see these young guys sitting down on the bus or train all the time while an older woman is standing up next to them. Pretty sad.

well, part of having manners is not doing things just so you can be praised for them. keep you lame umberella storys to yourself and the person you chase after them for.
check.

You can find a redneck anywhere in the country, not just in the south.
But, as a southern girl living on the east coast for 20 yrs., I can attest to the manners. I love my CA born and bred husband and all but southern men are very charming.

I don't know about southern guys, but I just spent 2 weeks in Brooklyn & Manhattan and I did not have to open one door the whole time. Everywhere I went men & older teen guys opened/held doors for me. Now I'm in Napa, CA and no doors opened at all. One guy waited as I struggled with holding a door open & getting a stroller in. I finally just told him to go ahead. Fkn loser.

i think american men are quite the gentlemen compared to say… european men. just spent my whole x-mas/winter vacation in england, netherlands, france, and italy… and they don't help with anything! i hate to generalize but it made me appreciate our american boys. ;D

but would he go and get the umbrella if it blew away from a man? There's Southern gentlemen, and than there's just men.

I used to think there was something to the South's reputation for being welcoming, warm, courteous, etc.

What a load of horse-shit.

I've met courteous people from the North and the South, as well as rude people from the North and South. I was at a funeral in the South today and some Southern gem had the gall to ask where my significant other was, and attributed their absence to there being a excess of blacks in the North. Ignorance, tolerance, manners, and the like know no latitude. Oddly enough, I find that the most courteous people are the ones most likely to talk shit behind your back. Fuck 'em.

ewww soo over him!

Amanda Bynes Was Involved In ANOTHER Hit-And-Run!

Can someone take this girl's license away, please?

Amanda Bynes will finally be appearing court on June 6th for her April 6th DUI arrest, but apparently, she's may have to return very soon after that, because the actress was involved in ANOTHER hit-and-run only a few short days AFTER the first!
