Do you treat girls differently?

“Again, I don’t see this distinction or any logical reason why a respectable girl would be treated with more respect than a same-mannered guy. Your example doesn’t exactly stand in that if a woman were inclined to act proper and lady-like most of the time, the crowd she involves herself with most likely would not be the type to have harsh language in the first place would it? Wouldn’t it be logical to say a group of friends at least have certain values or interests that are similar? So if this particular person has an emphasis on etiquette, one would think her friends are the same way.”

I understand your logic but the way it works with my friends just doesn’t turn out that way. It’s probably also different because the majority of my friends go to single-sex schools so obviously the environments at all-girls/all-boys and public schools are completely different.
As far as same-mannered guys… all the guys I know probably use harsh language when they’re with their guy friends but they try to refrain from that when they’re around me or my girl friends, because we don’t talk like that.
The guys also insist on paying if we go out to dinner or w/e. That’s just the way it works with us

I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue of ‘respect’ but more chivalry… or something like that lol
