Ladies, a word of advice about how to determine what a man is really like:
Finagle him into taking you to dinner at a realtively fancy restaurant. When he shows up, is he in proper attire, with combed hair, clean shaven or neatly trimmed beard, clean fingernails, no unseemly odors, polished shoes? Does he know how to order? Does he hold your chair for you and offer to check your coat? And, most especially, does he treat host or hostess, waiter or waitress, busboy or busgirl, with the same respect he would show to some sports star he admires?
The way a man treats a woman he likes tells you a lot about how you would be treated if the two of you should marry. If he prepares for a date with you as he would for a sporting even in which he was participating, that tells you about how much respect he has for you. If he treats people ( such as the waitstaff ) who can do him absolutly no good as if they are worthy of respect, then chances are he will respect you and your family and friends. And if he uses good manners? Ya got yerself a keeper! : D
