Old Fashioned

What 'old fashion' beliefs do you still go by?

I still believe in no children out of wedlock.
I still believe that it's a man's duty to pursue a relationship with a woman & not the other way around. Women who propose marriage to men shock me.
I still believe that a woman's body is a temple & that it should have as few 'devotees' as possible. No promiscuity.

Your turn..

thinking...

marriage maybe... but i think i have to shatter that view. regular relationships don't work for me.

Nice one. I believe in marriage too, just not for me, for other people. I'd do it if the husband had his own house & were to still live in it even after the vows were said. With that said, I don't believe in traditional marriage system ie. A wife's place is at the kitchen & that you shouldn't say a thing while men are talking, etc.

What traditional beliefs don't you go by? Just to even things out a bit lol.

religion lol! ironic i just said i believe in marriage! i'm not the type to congregate and dress up on a sunday or go to bible studies. i'm not fond of old dudes telling me what to do with my life for an hour and splashing water on me at the end of it.

from your list...

i'm cool with the children out of wedlock i think there's beauty in that sort of dysfunction. iv been watching californication tho and i'm impressionable lol!

i'm fine being pursued but i did pop the question the 1 time i was engaged.

See, that's the thing..many countries are being 'Americanised' because of the stuff being shown on our tvs. Luckily for us, we have a heavy dose of our traditional stuff on tv to dilute the 'American influence'.

I'm not a fan of out of wedlock children because of how & where I was raised. Everybody had a mother + a father where I grew up. I'm much more understanding of it now because times have changed & shit happens. But I'm still uncomfortable when the 'out of wedlock kids' have different fathers. That disgusts me tbh with you. So yeah, my beliefs are still very strong.

I still believe that there should be more phat then muscle in a womans buttocks.

LMAO. Do you like girls who flaunt their assets?

I'm the epitome of old fashioned. I have a lot of old fashioned mannerisms. I still wear suits when I go out, still wear slacks and button up shirts to work even though I don't have to, etc. I still treat women in an old fashioned way too, like I always pay for dinner. Though I more so call it bring a class act moreso than anything.

A few good men. That's very gentlemanly of you, MrD. I hope nobody calls you 'dawg' lol.

I agree with everything listed except it's more of a personal preference than a belief. I don't find it shocking/have a problem with women proposing, pursuing or having sex with more partners at once. I have a hard time understanding how people do find any of that strange, different mentalities, different folks, it's whatevz.

I find it interesting that everyone associated old-fashion beliefs to man/woman relationships, marriage, etc. Mr. D mentioned mannerisms, that's more up my alley. I also try to go by "old-fashioned" respect as much as I can.

The more I go along the more I discover I am old fashioned about many things, but only towards myself and my family. The rest of the world, of course I respect they are free to do whatever they want. None of my business. If you ask the older generations they would say I am part of a generation that is too individual and stopped caring about community. I suppose they have a point.

Long time, no see 🙂
Welcome back, Pretty 😛

As for the 1st part of your post, it depends on where you grew up. If something is a norm where you live, or an expectation then it's no longer about personal preference, but tradition or whatever you want to call it. It's a personal choice only if everybody is doing whatever they feel like doing, no pressure or expectations.

As for the 2nd part, different mentalities, different folks.

When my dad got a managerial promotion at work he always went in wearing a suit and tie even though he didn't have to, which I found weird. My mum thought it was sweet. It is a bit cute but I just can't really get with the logic behind it. I don't think I'm particularly that way at all, no.

I like people who wear suits lol. To me it shows they have respect for their job & the people they have to attend to. Professionalism. It also gives an observer a false sense of competency when looking at a suit wearing person. It's like they'd know what to do, etc. I'm all for that lol. I like people who have respect for their profession, not only by how they act, but also by how the dress. Would you have confidence in a tutu wearing doctor seeing them the 1st time?

As much as we'd all like to not admit, 1st impressions count. Meaning we do tend to judge a book by its cover.

If the tutu wearing doctor came across with searing sharpness and eloquence, that would likely sway me irrespective of the attire. I'm far too impressed by intelligence, though. Something I'm aware of and working on 😛

Come on now, girl 🙂
You and I both know that the 1st thought in your mind would be 'wtf, the nutcracker!'..well until they actually speak up or something..then & only then will you be able to come to an accurate conclusion. And also come at ease that they wont deform you lol.

I'm only kidding, your opinion is yours & its respected 🙂

Well yea of course I'd notice and laugh or something, but if he came across really astutely I'd just think he was really eccentric and I'd probably be impressed by it, knowing me. I'm abnormal in that way though 😛

I love eccentric people too, but I always seek proof of their skill before they can do anything on me lol. I don't want anybody all coockoo & freestyling on me lol. Especially if the assistance I need is very important.

I do believe in respecting your elders and yes a man courts a woman.

OMG, a big yes at respecting your elders. I'm a huge fan of that one. I still stand up for an old person sit if there are no other sits available. I do not stand up for pregnant women though, not my problem you're pregnant. Some even give you a look that tells you to get up, I don't.

*seats

My sister used to say she enjoys being pregnant because it's the only time she gets to be treated like the queen she delusionally thinks she is. I think that's what makes me not to care for pregnant women..that's how much I dislike her.

I still believe in good manners.

Unfortunately, they aren't too popular these days.

Yes, I always expect to be seated in the front passenger seat unless there is someone older, in which I will sit in the back. I hate it when I see young children arguing and talking down to their elders, whether it be parents or teachers or anyone that they should show respect to. And most definitely give your seat or open doors for your elders and so much more!!

Hm, I don't really get that, because it's not really your problem someone is old or handicapped either, if a woman is heavily pregnant I would definitely give up my seat.

And yeah, my nickname in college was "grandma" because a lot of my old-fashioned mannerisms. I hate to sound dramatic but I find the general lack of respect and consideration out in society today to be very draining.

I've been pregnant too & I still could do everything I did before I was pregnant. And yes I could stand up without expecting other people to stand up on my expense. I even declined when people offered me a seat.

Older people on the other end aren't as able due to various reasons age related & it is so until they pass away. Not only for 9 mnths.

So you'd sit down and watch an older person stand and struggle with a train/bus ride standing? Typical youngster of today with no respect!! Do you berate your mother too?

Posted by MilkySoft
Well, it's true I don't know what being pregnant feels like...

Also, the thought of Facebook wedding invitations really bothers me and I hear it's pretty popular for people to handle their guest attendance that way. Not only do I find it very impersonal, but it seems like a good way to have people just say they're going and not show up, or bring a couple extras.

Pregnancy is not as immobilizing as some like to make it out to be. Don't be choosy now about what you can still do. If you can continue to have sex, why not continue doing other things you did before as well? No sympathy from me.

Huh?? Of course I give up my seat for old folks! I was trying to understand WaterCup's reasons for standing up for an older person and not a pregnant woman.

well her next update was how she attached those feelings to her sister who just "used" the excuse for pregnancy as to make her happy. That's what i'm guessing.

Sorry, I read into that wrong.

Men should take the initiative in dating
Men should be the head of the household
Kids should respect their parents and elderly pple
no wedlock kids
No sex before marriage (to hard to resist)
Mum n dad should walk u down the isle when getting married and not just the father, lol

Men should be providers and protectors. I plan to work always, but I would like to know that I can depend on my partner to provide income if I lost my job or something. As far as protection, I think women genuinely want to feel safe with the man they're with. Should the worst happen, like say I'm being attacked or something, can I count on him to have my back? Or is he gonna be running so fast that I can't even catch up with him, assuming I'm able to get away.

If there's a strange noise late at night is he going to volunteer to check it out? Or give me a look that says "Shit you check it out."

And if another man comes out his mouth at me wrong. Is he gonna be like " Hold up bro, you can't talk to my girl/wife like that." Or stay detached from the situation hoping that I will just "handle it."

I don't know if these are traditional views. But I hate a punk @ss man. 😛

Has any man been scorned by a lady for holding the door open for them?

Not a good feeling..

It sometimes feels like they want to steal a quick look at the arse.

I think that

1) you should have only one partner for life
2) man should be the breadwinner of the family and play his role

You're a good man, Grey. She is lucky to have you.

So if some two ton chick was about to grab your hair he should punch her in the face?

LOL. I assume this is directed at Ninja. But I still wanted to respond. If a two ton chick was trying to grab my hair I would prefer he try to diffuse the situation or at least talk ME out of punching her in the face. However two tons is a whole lot of woman. If she jump on me I'm gonna need his help pulling her off. Still, I would rather he let me fight her and curse her out, than it be him. It just looks bad, to me, when a man curses a woman out and/or hits her.

True--- but

*narrows eyes*

If a two ton woman comes after you, physically-- that isn't a fair fight.

That's just trashy-- you wouldn't call the law?


😕

Bleh smh

Though if she is truly that big, once I get her to fall on her back she will flail like a turtle. The fight is pretty much mine then. Ground and pound MMA style . Haha.

Unless she falls forward, in which case, you will be suffocated.




Hee hee
