(Side note, I still consider myself to be very lady like about 97% of the time. The other 3% is presumably when I am completely inebriated, and in those instances..who really can be held accountable for their actions??)
Remember when you were younger and you'd hear the phrase, "thats not lady-like"? What ever happened to that? What happened to lady-like? Because, frankly, I don't see it anywhere. Lady-like is as good as dead, as far as I'm concerned. At least in Southern California, because its damn near impossible to meet a woman with an idea of what "lady-like" is.
Young women these days are just as loud and obnoxious as San Quentin State Prison. It seems that everywhere you go, you're guaranteed to stumble across a perfectly good looking and possibly well dressed young lady, but with no idea of what lady-like is. You know who I'm referring to; they're the women with no class because they assume they've already bought it, or were born into it.
Well, I beg to differ. Lady-like isn't being old fashioned, its simply acting like a lady. Its being well-mannered; never forgetting thank-you's and please. Its not swearing like my buddy Bob at NASCAR. Its keeping certain details about your sex life out of conversations with people you're dining with. Its classy and respectable. Its the timeless Audrey Hepburn- the girl we envy to be or to be with. Not the naive woman screaming obscenities while in line at the DMV.
So, to the women of Southern California I say this: act "lady-like", damnit. Don't demand respect when you show none yourself. Don't demand class when you only display a lack of; and don't demand the Knight in Shining Armor when you're the village drunk. Keep it together and try being polite sometime and hold that tounge. Give it a try, I think you'll be surprised. I know I will be.
