Men's health

Deflecting the gentleman's interest? Madam, please!

This one from Miss Manners, but ya know it is right

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have two issues – my man friend staring at other women, when with me, and should he walk up stairs behind me? If so, is he checking out the rear? Help.

GENTLE READER: Help with what? Deflecting the gentleman's interest? Madam, please!

A gentleman should indeed, go up the stairs after you, and down stairs in front of you. The purpose is to give you something comfy to fall on, should you misstep. And you surely will if you keep trying to check the height of his gaze.

However, when your friend is staring at other ladies, Miss Manners suggests a barrage of questions, none of which is “What are you staring at?” Or “Why are you checking out other women?”

Rather, these should be “Who's that? Do you know her? You must. No, wait a minute, do I know her? Help me – have we met her?” With any daydreams thus blasted out of his head, he will come to consider that his habit is more trouble than it is worth.
