I'm all for opening the door (building, car, whatever) for all women (and men older than me....but not for the car
), always use please and thank you whenever appropriate, know how to match the dress code for whatever event I'm attending, and would not personally wear a hat in a church.
Haven't been in years, though I was an acolyte as a pre-teen at my parents insistence. Last time was 20 years ago at the request of a girlfriend. It was one of those non-denomination, live-band, video-board sing-a-long places. I recall a number of t-shirts, tennis shoes, shorts.....probably some hats too. One attempt was enough and never went back. I would, however, be freshly showered, hair washed and combed as well (I do think a sweaty/dirty head of hair can be more off-putting than keeping the hat on). To each his own on that topic.
Some here pining for the days of our forefathers decorum and gentlemaness, however, should be careful with that line of thinking IMO.
Do we really want to return to societal standards when the vast majority of the pics in the "Most Beautiful Women" thread would be viewed as decadent/pornographic? I'm damn glad we decided to move on from that........"Any woman who shows her ankles in public must be a whore or witch!".....level of decorum.
There are plenty of other examples, but most of you know what they are.
