Do you?

I find that most men in the states, that I've come across at least, won't tip or touch their hats. not that they're rude, I just don't think it's as common knowledge as it should be. That, or us yanks are losing are gentlemanly charm.

I agree, I've never seen people do this until recently, and that's in movies and such. I've never known anyone who's done this, but I do like what I see. I'd have never known that I was rude for not making this gesture.

Hovever, it seems that most people do this upon eye contact. the problem I see is that walking through the city with so many people, I'd never have the opportunity to remove my hand from my hat! I guess i'd walk down the street for a few blocks holding my hat an inch or so above my head.....
