del227 Clover, SC age: 57	Hi Sheza..I've always thought that a southern gent is just special from other men I had dated. Alot of it is the respect taught to them as youngsters by their Mothers. If you find a man who treats you and loves you like he does his mother..grab him Yes Ma'am and No Sir are spoken without even thinking about. They still open doors and put an arm on your back to guide you. And I'm a sucker for a deep southern drawl

joiseygal Columbia, SC age: 61	JMO but I like a man to show me the respect that I deserve. Hence...opening doors, pulling out chairs, helping me on with my coat, lighting my cig.. I've met men from both the north and south that do these things but then there are those from both areas that don't do anything. Go figure. Hi Sheeza.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Zengardens ~ this thread is to define the Southern Gentlemen or Lady in a “POSITIVE” manner. When people refer to wishing to date one of the above mentioned and leave it at that, it leaves a lot to the imagination. I thought it would be helpful to each gender to have some clarification. I would like to bring to your attention to say a southerner is provincial, racist and intolerant is not my idea of “POSITIVE”. I ask that you comment on the positive aspects of the topic.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Joisey and Del ……. I think we have a good start on the idea of the Southern Gent but no guys have comments on the Southern Belle yet. Del you hit on something. One aspect I view in a SG is that he is relaxed, that is because he is comfortable with himself, his value and worth, he doesn’t need the approval of others to define him as a person. He isn’t argumentative because he’s firm on his beliefs, even so he can remain open and respectful of others opinions. When he disagrees (and he will) he is able to do so without resorting to childish behavior. Just a few of my idea’s of a Southern Gentleman.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Badcatch ~ thanks for your comments. In all honesty I’m actually a native Texan and live in SC to be closer to my grandchildren. But I’ve lived in GA, AL at other times in my life, I lived in SC the time span between the first time and now was about 30 years. I don’t really have a true southern accent and I’ve lost some of my Texan accent because I’ve not lived there in a long time. So I’m a cross between them all. I created the thread so that it might be clearer to the opposite sex what the other is looking for when they coin the terms “Southern Gent or Belle”. Interesting non of the guys have told us what they think a So. Belle is to them. Maybe they will this coming week. I have replied to your request via e-mail and I’m honored you ask.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Well I say I don't have a southern accent but when I went to Colorado last year for a womens conference they commented on it a number of times. Funny story, was at the Ft. Worth stockyards with a friend from England. We were in a little wine shop and we were talking with the locals and when we walked out, he was rollin' in laughter, he said I got in the mix of them and my accent/dialect just jumped right in there with 'em. Of course I had not noticed but I guess I'm one that when listening I pick up some dialect. I do sound more southern when I read or I'm tired. I first noticed it when reading to my children. But it's not that deep south syrupy type.

zengardens Columbia, SC age: 55	Quote from shezakeepher_2: I ask that you comment on the positive aspects of the topic. The topic is bogus. People are better understood by natural criteria such as ancestry, environmental, and astrological, as well as others. Artificial criteria such as religious affiliation or geographic region provide us zero or misleading information about people's characteristics. You can only censure comments in the Christian forums.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	zen, if you think it is bogus, when why bother? I'm sure you have better things to do. Why don’t you start your own thread and voice what you think and invite those that are interested to join you in your way of thinking. And zen if I find your way of thinking a crock, I promise I’ll stay out of your space and not disrupt the positive flow of energy you might be trying to obtain. Your comment in regards to the Christian forum, I’ll not address, it’s your opinion, I’m not going to change it, so why should I bother. So start your own thread and enjoy.

zengardens Columbia, SC age: 55	As part of the “Bible Belt”, SBs often practice intolerance, religious or otherwise. SBs often lie, whenever it suits them, such as their age. They typically misrepresent their body type as “average” instead of a few extra pounds, or as “a few extra pounds” when they are actually large. They will often play coy, just to get a free meal on the first date. They will often want you to do things that they could more easily do for themselves. Their careers are often based on affirmative action appointments, rather than any actual skills or qualification. They are often divorced & their ex-husbands are to blame. Many smoke cigarettes as single mothers with children at home, yet they believe they are good role models. These generalizations are in no way absolute or exclusive to the region.

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Even though I’ve lived in the south the greater part of my life I actually consider myself a Texan. That is where I was born and lived my early years. I tell people you can take the gal out of Texas but you can’t take Texas out of the gal. So I don’t really consider myself a true “Southern Belle”. I however would like to think I have picked up a few of the characteristics that I think add to the charm, value and integrity of a woman. Also I do not seek a true “Southern Gentlemen”. Oh sure there are some characteristics that I can appreciate, some I’ve already mentioned. I really hoped that those that say that is what they are looking for would have defined that so the one’s that seem to fit the description might make a move to make a contact with someone. Peace ~

shezakeepher_2 Columbia, SC age: 56	Zen .......... I have a question for you. You seem to put a lot of weight in the signs and all of that ...... my question is, how is that working for you? I mean does it bring you peace? Do the discription and all of the sterotyping add up? When you read the stars ar lined up for you on a specific day and you will feel the positive energy or whatever you call it, I don't know the lingo, does it really work for you? Reason I ask is that there seems to be a lot of cynical tension in your comments in women as a whole, does seem to be a lot of peace there. I'm just asking legit questions for what I've observed.

zengardens Columbia, SC age: 55	“Astrology for Dummies” Second only to a photo, astrology is the most significant key to successful relationships. High divorce rates, up to 60%, need to be somehow explained! Basically, most Americans do not consider astrology before getting married. Therefore, short-term bliss turns into long-term incompatibility. For me, astrology is an excellent ice-breaker. When some women respond negatively, I understand them as close-minded. It is truly mind-boggling that a person who knows nothing about astrology, would reject it based on propaganda. The most basic aspect of compatibility is whether a person is an early bird versus night owl, which is astrologically based. Early birds are poor matches for night owls & visa versa. Astrology is not absolute, and absolutely is not stereotyping!! A naïve person once asked me: “How can everyone born in 1956 (a year of the Monkey) be the same?” They are not the same. Monkeys are diverse, as are all other signs. Pisces Monkeys are very different from Aries Monkeys, although they share certain basic characteristics, such as intelligent & conniving. For example, a Virgo wood Horse is a very good match for me, yet she is a night owl & therefore incompatible with an early bird like me. I am aware of my incompatible matches, & tend to avoid them, which is hard if they are attractive or wealthy.

idream2 Spartanburg, SC age: 62	A southern lady is kind and gentle. She loves the good times she has with her man. She will listen to you, however she does have an opinion of her own. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to ask for it. She enjoys giving and sharing love. She may be slim or overweight, it doesn't matter. She has lots of love to give. To see her on a summer day in a dress is a thing of beauty. Her beauty shows through her smile. She is kind till you mess with her children, then heaven help you. You love her for who and what she is.

taylor_65 Fort Mill, SC age: 70	SOUTHERN BELLE ??? A southern belle (derived from the French belle, 'beautiful') is an archetype for a white young woman of the American Old South's upper class. During the period, Kentuckian Sallie Ward of Louisville was the most noted belle in the South, and her portrait, which hangs in the Speed Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, is often called "The Southern Belle." A Southern belle epitomized Southern hospitality, cultivation of beauty and a flirtatious yet chaste demeanor. The archetype continues to have a powerful aspirational draw for many people, and books like We're Just Like You, Only Prettier, The Southern Belle Primer, and The Southern Belle Handbook are plentiful. Other current terms in popular culture related to "Southern belles" include "Ya Ya Sisters," "GRITS (Girls Raised In The South)," "Sweet Potato Queens," and "Bulldozers disguised as powder puffs." Today, a Southern Belle is also another name for a debutante from the southern United States. To detractors, the southern belle stereotype is a symbol of repressed, "corseted" young women nostalgic for a bygone era. All that being said My Southern Belle would be like a Lady Soul .......

joy617 Henagar, AL age: 48	A Southern Gentleman holds your hand before holding your heart. He speaks kindly with respect. He watches his language around ladies. He avoids confrontation and arguing. He uses his wisdom and knowledge instead of his fists. He may kiss your hand, before kissing your lips. He hugs like a grizzly bear and his hugs removes all your stress. He may pick you up with a hug. His arms encompass you as if to say, "Nothing or no one will harm you as long as I am around." He doesn't take kindly to others being disrespectful or rude to ladies. He loves to rescue a damsel in distress. He considers it an honor and his duty as a man. He knows that "In God We Trust" is a way of life, not just something written on our money. He may have served in the military and has pride in serving his country for Our Freedom. Jan, a true Southern Belle from Alabama

lady_4_u_2 Sumter, SC age: 51	A TRUE SOUTHERN BELLE IS A LADY WHO EXPECTS A MAN TO ACT LIKE A GENTLEMAN. A GENTLEMAN SHOULD ALWAYS BE GENTLE WITH A SOUTHERN BELLE IN THE MANNER IN WHICH HE SPEAKS TO HER AND IN THE WAY THAT HE BEHAVES WHEN HE IS IN HER PRESENCE. TREAT HER WITH KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY AND SHE WILL BE YOURS. BRING YOUR BELLE A RING OR GIVE HER A RING BEFORE EVEN THINKING ABOUT INTIMACY. THAT IS HOW A TRUE SOUTHERN LADY EXPECTS TO BE TREATED, NO CASUAL RELATIONSHIPS EXCEPT IF YOU TRULY JUST WANT TO BE A FRIEND.
