I am married to a southern man, and live in a small town here, We have been married 20 years now, I think part of the reason I was attracted to him was he was so nice while we were dating. My 4 teens (3 boys and 1 girl) are always getting complimented on their manners when we are elsewhere in the US. They have been taught to respect their elders, say yes mam , and yes sir. When I was raised in the north, it was different, but still polite.

I live in the NW and I have to say that it is true. Men in the south do have more manners. I know when I come across a southern man they are so polite and they really know how to treat a woman. I am not saying that all southern men are perfect gentlemen and that other men from other regions are not. However, overall southern men know what it means to be a man.

Lol girl.
I live in Knoxville Tn... and trust me.. it's not what you think. Yes their are some polite men.. .but it's not just because they're from the south. Southern hospitality is overrated.
There are just as much rude people in the south as there are up north. A lot of southerners think they're better than Yankees. I get that a lot because I'm a yankee. Blah.
But, it's just a stereotype. It's not the real deal.

I was raised in the south (Virginia and Georgia) and moved to Michigan as a young adult. I agree with you. I think it's because down here is a much slower way of life, and people teach their children to be respectful. I can't tell you how many times I had a door slammed in my face in Michigan. I honestly don't think they do it to be rude...I think that's just the way it is up there. I'm now living in Georgia again, and OMG am I glad to be back!! I was at the parking deck today at the train station, and a guy in front of me (WAY in front of me) held the elevator for me while I walked nearly 1/2 the length of the parking deck. So nice!

i'd might want to assert pretend desire. they arrive from many walks of existence.I have lived in Louisiana.Mississippi South Carolina...and Florida( can't truly count number Florida it has an excellent style of snowbirds)...i imagine for the most area is when I lived in Montana.the girls seem to get slightly extra respect and widely used gentleman like habit than I seen in maximum states interior the united states of a. Now...I do imagine that I have seen extra females cope with adult males like a gentleman down south.Them southern belles can make yure day and evening.

I lived in Texas for 18 years and i found the men brash, cantankerous, and obstreperous. But maybe it's just because i'm a ******.

I think it is because down South there is a small town attitude and people are more trusting and therefore more friendley and open. In big cities, people are taught to keep to theirselves and don't talk to strangers. In smaller towns, they are taught to mind your manners and respect your elders, treat a lady right,etc...

its true most people in the south have good manners cause they live mostly in the farm where they are free from the harsh environment in the city dwellers and southerners are not arrogant people not like in new york mostly are hypocrites and they act like they own the streets and sometimes wild

Have you ever heard the term "Minnesota Nice"? People in MN are the nicest anywhere!
But I have a lot of friends who are from the South (Florida as well!) and I notice that their husbands are what I would consider to be very controlling. Not in an abusive sort of way, but my friends have to ask permission for everything. For instance, one of my friends had to cancel a trip she'd been looking forward to because it was raining and her husband wouldn't allow her to drive that day... "allow" is her word, not mine. He expects her to prepare all of his clothes for work, pack for his trips, do all the baby care (when she tried to show him how to prepare the rice cereal, his words were "But why wouldn't you be around to feed your son?") and sort out his pocket change for him...
"Please" and "thank you" aren't worth that kind of treatment.

I agree!
(Of course, I always found Southern men better looking, too.)
