This.
It is a sign of respect to show them they are important enough for you to stand when they show up.
It makes them feel important and men have always done things like that for women to impress/court them. I guess it also allowed men in suits to stand and adjust their jacket and look better when she arrives and leaves.
Probably also a sign of men meeting a woman at eye level when she approaches. You do the same if you're meeting someone for a business lunch/dinner to shake their hand.

Why do people stick the food in their mouths and not on top of their heads?

It's not really a Southern thing.
Yankees and Europeans do it too.
for the OP, you're also supposed to stand up for men BTW.

I am over 60 and we were taught to stand when a woman entered or exited a room and when she left the table or returned. Today it is unnecessary and some feminists consider it offensive. As my grandmother used to say women came off their pedestals to be equal to men

I try to drop my fork right before a woman stands up in a skirt

I stay standing while she's sitting down and stand while she's getting up but I don't stand when she goes to the restroom.
It's old school chivalry, though.

I'd do it if it was a hot chick to show her the size of my boner.

Its a sign of respect. I do it all the time if we are out or in a formal situation.

Because in the Wild West days, women were so rare, a man had to stand up to protect his woman from being raped once she stood up and exposed her lady parts.

My former plant manager was a lady from Canada. I did this and opened doors for her all the time. Drove her nuts for the first few years. She finally accepted it.
