   Agreed, thus my limited & controlled use of them. . .   
      
   The problem I have is if the company I'm in uses them freely (like   
   punctuation) I tend to pick up on it & it takes a while to rid myself (as a   
   young'un, I did  freely speak that way in the company I kept, but in public I   
   was a paragon of  intelligent vocabulary.   
      
   & around seniors & women, not a whisper of anything untoward.   
      
   Doesn't work well nowadays, amn older Cattholica friend of mine approacged   
   some teen boys in a McDonalds tyo suggest they speak without swear5ing since   
   there  were young ladies(also high schoolers) present   
      
   One of the teen girls came right up into his face, blowing off eveery kind of    
   expletive dircted at my friend for being ild fashioned & not understandsing    
   modern speech, & that she would have her friends speak any ****in' way they    
   want, as that's proper & hecould just foxtrot-oscar.   
      
   He was so sad in telling me this, I could tell--it hurt him deeply.   
      
   I'd've given 20:1 odds she'd be a single mom with 5 kids within 6 years.   
      
   So little respect for herself & her sex/gender, often includes being too free   
   & open elsewise, too.   
      
   It is sad. . .   
      
   & these women who get ANGRY when you act chivalrous. . .   
      
   Thinkingb we're trwating them like helpless children, when really we're just    
   giving respect to the group that God has chosen to suffer periods & painful    
   childbirths. . .   
      
   Well, tbh, I let them precede me to enjoy the view, too, but mostly respect &    
   consideration.   
      
   I'm ready for any of these chip-on-the-shoulder types!   
      
   "What are you looking at?"   
     Those parts of you you deliberartely put on public display for all to see."   
   "The view wasn't intended for YOU!"   
     Let me explain to you a little concept called public versus private. . .   
      
   & they can't tell me they chose those 5" stiletto heels for "comfort" -- they    
   exist ONLY to highlight the derriere. & back of the legs.   
      
   I can ytwell, quickly, the difference between the woman wearing a slutty   
   blouse on purpose to display her goods for all to see & the oman wearing a   
   like top,  who only has that left to wear that's clean, & had to rush out,& is   
   terribly  self-conscious.  Her, I don't ogle; the other, I feel free to do so   
   (I'm  discreet, of course-- I'm not a pig)   
      
   Of I were single, in a mibgling place, I'd let women I'm interested in know    
   that I am. & compolmenmt them on their provocative & appealing attire.   
      
   If I don't appeal to her, I'll know in seconds, & proceed elsewhere, & elseher.   
      
   If she's rude aout it, I'll feel free to respond in kind, depending on mood.   
      
   My responses tebnd to be of a higher intellectual quality, though, & are    
   reasoned out to fully meet her rudeness head on, in detail.   
      
   But usually I wouldn't. I'd wish her well on her evening's searches, & move   
   on. . .   
      
   Plenty of fish in the sea & I'm just the worm to catch one!   
      
   Well, now I got one, so I'm thankfuly out of the games now. . .    
      
   I feel bad for those who are still seeking, though.. .   
      
   I've solved the problem men here hasve in finding a mate, with a guaranteed 3-   
   step process to attract a wife:   
      
   1. Be heterosexual   
   2. don't live with parents (or ex, natch) 3. have a job (even 2 hours a week,   
   shows you have potential)
