.... But, talking to 'civilian' girls that are younger, it appears that at some point guys completely lost the thread of how to treat a woman, either in or out of the bedroom. The younger women I talk to say that any guy under 30 doesn't even understand the concept of taking a woman out on a date, much less the other niceties. Again, just curious if this is something that's mirrored in the hobby world.

My point being that that a fair amount of younger guys don't understand, or did not learn at a younger age, the concepts related to the various forms of etiquette that apply in any setting. Dates (civie or hobby professional), or how to handle themselves in the business real world. They end up learning the hard way over time. Those that have learned applicable etiquette when younger, do well.
As Kat mentions: ..."being who he is as a person".
Back to JR's question about bad behavior:
Betraying the confidence of a hobby friend is a huge thing.
Interestingly, this applies with friends in the RW as well.
