It’s Cool to be a Gentleman
February 1st, 2010 by Sara
How many times have we heard in the past decade that chivalry is dead? That no boys or men open up doors, pull out chairs, or do their best to help an elderly woman cross the street (yes, stereotypical example – just work with us).
Well we at Southern Protocol beg to differ! It’s not that chivalry is dead, it’s that sometimes (sadly) it just isn’t considered “cool.” And since we’re lucky enough to be in the South, where learning proper etiquette and that chivalrous charm is a way of life, it’s even more important that we make it seem cool to use those manners. Enter heartthrob star of this month’s Dear John, Channing Tatum, who was quoted on InStyle.com saying the following about the importance of manners to a Southern man:
“It means EVERYTHING. We have better manners. The other day this lady’s umbrella blew away, and it just made sense to go and get it for her. Some men forget that.”
See? It’s not dead! Take a cue from Channing Tatum and go out of your way to remember what it means to be a good, polite person this month. Or just casually mention this story to the men in your life to jump start THEIR month of good deeds…
