Men: Treat Her Like A Lady

Men, we’ve heard this before when it comes to dating and relationships. But the truth is in order to gain a women’s love you’ve got to treat her like a lady. Doing this is not very hard. It simply means being nice to her.

You can still be the ‘macho’, manly man and treat her like a lady. I’ve seen the toughest of men open doors for women, help them with their coat, write or text love notes to them or simply say ‘I love you.’ It takes a lot less effort to be nice to someone in dating and relationships than to be mean to them.

Most of the men that I grew up with really didn’t have the best of role models when it comes to this. Our parent’s generation wasn’t open in showing love and affection for one another or to their children. Love was never spoken. Each person was to assume that every day actions spoke louder than words.

Our fathers were the worst at this. They had been brought up hard and tough in an era of economic depression and war. Showing love towards someone was thought to be more of a sign of weakness.

Dating and relationship protocol of that time meant the man did what it took to better the couples lives and future while the woman handled the domestic matters. Many women were not treated as equals, but companions whom men could lay their burdens on. There was lots of hanky panky, but very little romance. Men did not open doors, get coats or bring gifts. I can’t ever remember a big deal being made over Valentine’s Day, birthdays or anniversaries when I was growing up.

This was the model that we had to go by. For many, but not all of us, it has carried over to how we handle dating and relationships today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Just because a man’s father handled relationships a certain way doesn’t mean that he has to. He can still treat a woman like a lady and be every bit the man that he thinks his father is or was. If anything he will be considered more of a man. People notice when you open doors for them. They notice when you help a woman with her coat. They notice when you are nice to people.

Always remember in dating and relationships you don’t have to prove anything to anyone, but there is always someone watching. And how you treat a woman will be remembered good and bad. It will be remembered by the woman. It will be remembered by the people you surround yourself with. It will be remembered by other women who may have an interest in you if your current relationship ends.

So be nice to her. Be a gentleman. Treat her like a lady. She deserves it and it is your manly duty.

In dating and relationships, treat her like a lady cannot be stressed enough.
