AMTM: Part Three

I'm on fire... can't help but post more...

Sometimes you, and by you I mean men, do the following things in an effort to impress us, and by us I mean women:

• Drive Fast
• Act Macho
• Shotgun a Beer - don't get me wrong... I am generally pretty impressed when people do this but there is a time and a place for it.
• Potty Mouth - again, don't get me wrong... I can have the mouth of a sailor at times and appreciate a good F-Bomb every now and again... but just as with shotgunning a beer, there is a time and a place for it. 
• Show off your new LCD HD BLAH BLAH BLAH TV. 

I am going to go out on a limb, as I am doing with most of the statements here and in Part One and Part Two, and say that VERY FEW women are impressed with any of those things.  You know what does impress us though?

• When you drive safer than you might when you are alone, because you have precious cargo.
• When the car that you are driving is in your name - not your parents.
• When you are the one who is paying for/paid for the car that you are driving.
• When the car that you are driving doesn't smell like a gym bag or have fast food remnants and wrappers all over the passenger seat and floor boards.
• When you act like a gentlemen - to us and everyone else.
• When you treat people with respect; The way you treat the guy behind the counter at the store, the waiter, the bartender, or the parking guy says A LOT about your character.
• When you offer us a beer before you jump on the shotgun bandwagon.      
• When you think before you speak; Dropping an F-Bomb within minutes of meeting Grandma isn't always the best idea.  Using colorful language in front of co-workers, family, and some friends is generally frowned upon until a rapport is built.
• When you show us your ridiculous new TV we see that have a bookcase with books that you have actually read.
