Do you think a gentleman still exists in this world or not anymore ?

Yes, gentlemen still exist...I have one in my life. My boyfriend, Bill, is very considerate, polite, loving, understanding, helpful, and everything that I wanted in a man. Yes, he helps me with my coat, opens doors for me, helps me into the car, says please and thank you and shows various other social graces. But that isn't the only thing to being a gentleman. To me being a gentleman is a man who is honest, genuinely caring, giving (not just gifts but time and help to others- not just for me). He will take the time to help me out when things are too difficult for me to do (we split wood for my fireplace Saturday. We hauled weeds to our dumpster today). He is there when I need a shoulder to cry on, and there to share the great laughs and wonderful times. He is there when someone decides that they need to pick on me for something that I didn't do. (Bill even got hit when he was trying to protect me from an unprovoked attack). I could spend hours expounding on the good things that Bill does, including spending 6 months helping take care of my animals when I was recovering from knee replacement surgery. Clothes don't make the man, the man makes the clothes. You can dress a slob in a $10,000 suit and he would still be a slob. While a beggar can still be a gentleman (I have had beggars hold doors for me, help me when I had too many packages and needed to get to my car, and they have changed tires for me and not accepted any money for their work) just because they are dressed in less than fashionable clothing doesn't make them any less a gentleman. It just means that they are down on their luck and need a hand up. Yes, there are still gentlemen out in the world, they may not make a big thing of being a gentleman, but the next time a man holds the door open for you or lets you get ahead of him in line when you have a couple of items and are in a hurry...these are gentlemen and need to be appreciated.

Media has destroyed the image of a gentleman and today a gentleman is who have good money and plenty of almost fully naked girls around him. According to my thoughts gentleman is a person who have high moral values and have respect for others on the basis of his relations instead of someones money. These qualities almost 70% comes through in-heredity but theses can be anyone a gentleman by following these rules. As concern that gentleman still exist or not, i would like say that yes they exist and peoples only stop admiring them. I feel myself a gentleman because peoples around me appreciate my thoughts and attitude. I know many other guys as well who are real gentleman. It only needs to take a brief look around you then you find so many.

You are right in your assumption that we are a dying breed for the simple reason that most parents have neglected to teach that to their kids and what has overtook it was the "independent thinking" of "ME,ME,ME,I,I,I" first! It's the survival instinct that took over to survive in the real world. The schools curriculum have forgotten to remind or teach the students proper etiquette, and i am not only talking only how to be a good gentleman but also how to be a real human being. There are still nice people around , it is just a matter of wearing a special kind of glasses to see them. Be nice and people will be nice to you, not the other way around. It doesn't work that way.

Hi wildlittlefan. A gentleman is a man that is always gentle to others. He is sweet and he lives his life calm, caring and very concerned about others. That is the way that he carries himself. There are many gentlemen in this world. And they are out there, it is just hard to see them because their gentle ways have been hidden. A gentleman is not a man that is only polite when he needs to be. He is always polite regardless.

wildlittlefan, it's hard to be a gentleman. The last time I was called a gentleman was by this Thai girl who I worked with a couple of years ago. She kept calling me a "handsome gentleman." I say it's hard to be a gentleman because I am older and when I was in grade school, our teacher made us do a scene where the boys were the gentlemen and the girls were the ladies. I had to bring out the seat so she could sit down. I am still used to holding the door for females. But over the past thirty years, I've been insulted for trying to be a gentleman. One time in Detroit, I saw a female following me. She had a baby in her arms. So I opened the door for her. She ignored me and reached to get the other door. Of course I was hurt. I also find that if the woman feels you are attractive she doesn't mind if you act like a gentleman. I knew a female reporter in Ann Arbor who was a strong women's lib person. She didn't like men opening doors for her. But one day she talked to me and as we were leaving the room, she stopped and waited for me to open the door! So over the years I've found that if a woman doesn't like you, she won't let you be a gentleman. So it's what the woman thinks your background is, not what your background is. A beggar or homeless person might actually be the Count of Monte Cristo should his cirumstances change. While a nice looking guy could be the Marques de Sade.

Its interesting to know who is Gentle man,as one who is Gentle with one is,rude with the other,you cant even judge,how one changes,but of course it depends upon background,family values,status of an individual,if one intrinsic has love,fear of God, and pains for others,it really shines out,naturally and person seems to be Gentle.Rest,Girls are true,we may find mental man more than the Gentle,its only ones way of projection,nothing else,if really one has something in it,no one can stop it from coming out!What do you say?

To me, a gentleman is one who treats me with respect and also shows me courtesy and politeness. He doesn't have to dress well to do that. He probably needs to have a decent education so that he can speak properly and he also knows how to act and behave appropriately. He will also have self respect.

There are different meanings of gentlemen for every girl. I do believe there is still gentlemen in this world. For me gentlemen are those unselfish and understanding guys out there. Who are there to listen to girl’s explanation. Who give way, who give chances. I can still meet some gentlemen personally, those who are on giving their turn on the line whenever you are falling in line. Those give their seats just for you, who opened doors, who help you bring your heavy bags and belongings. For me they are unselfish. They always think ladies first. I respect them whatever they look like.

Hey friend, To me, a gentleman is 'who is both good in both inside and outside with a decent dressing. Yes, you're right. This type of true gentleman is really rare to find out. I've met so many people in my life who only acted as gentlemen on the outside. But inside they're all with selfish, rude, dirty manner. Have a great day.

I believe gentlemen do exist in the world and that is not just in dressing well but also in mannerism and behavior towards others. But let's face it, the world is not such a nice place anymore.

Gentleman is everywhere but you cannot see it. Sometimes it is hidden by a person who has it and being shown only as required by any situation. Like being gentle to old lady having no seat in the bus.Gentleman cannot be shown only by appearance but by his deeds, and kindness to other people. Being gentle comes from the heart followed by action. Being gentleman cannot exist except action takes place

Being a gentleman means treating others, especially women, in a respectful manner. A gentleman does not take advantage of others. They do not push others into doing things they choose not to do. The exception, of course, is to push one into something they need to do for their own good, as in a visit to a hospital, or pursuing a suppressed dream. It is true, "Good guys are hard to find"; but gentleman are not. They are available dime a dozen at every nook and corner. They are ever in waiting to take advantage of the gullible ones. Anyone can develop a gentlemanly behavior by mastering the art of pretense. To a person who is really a gentleman he would naturally be good. Good behavior would be the part of his conduct. His background, his upbringing and his education make him thus. To know if a person is a real gentleman, just pinch his behind and see how he acts. You would know his true nature.

gentlemen are endangered species. there are very few left in this world. but men are like dogs they are very trainable. so if they are not gentleman by nature you can always train them to be one. it worked for me. lol.

Being a gentleman is a natural attitude, I think. It's an act of being nice to anybody wherever and whenever he is..

no offense to anybody but finding a gentleman nowadays is like finding a virgin before marriage. very,, very rare.

Well the short history of the term 'gentleman' is very different from what it now means, or doesn't mean. A Gentleman had a very strict meaning. It meant someone who was a property owner, and was independently wealthy, and of a noble family. Over time, Gentleman morphed into meaning someone who was polite and courteous. This is because nobility was often in politics, and of course politicians have to be polite and courteous to their constituency. Now Gentleman pretty much means, nothing. It means 'I like the way you act', but since like and dislike is a personal preference, the word means nothing. One persons 'gentleman' is an arrogant fool to someone else, because it's personal opinion. So the answer to 'are there any gentleman anymore?' is... depends on your preferences as to what the term means, as to if there are any like that around. But let me just make a comment on 'good guys'. Girls do not want good guys. You say you do, but you really don't. I would always open the doors for the women, and girls would laugh at that. I've met other guys that did the same, and they had the same story. Girls ignore them, and run of with the biggest jerk in the room, and then complain later about there not being any good guys. So, if that is what you consider a 'gentleman', then there are not likely many like them left, because guys of learned being nice and sweet girls doesn't get them anywhere. Being arrogant and self absorbed does.

Gentleman is one who get adjusted to the situation and behave the in a manner which is required.Suppose someone commits mistake in a public function and the gentlemen will correct the one after taking him away from the public and explain him how to behave instead of shouting and correct the erring person in-front of the Public.And also all his deeds will get the appreciation. If we follow the Mylot terms and condition and do and don't it will be termed as gentleman's behavior.

i am a gentlemen. i do not know what definition you think about a gentlemen. I think a person following humanity is a gentlemen. There is nothing else require to be a human or a gentlemen just be good.

i think someone with a good upbringing and who knows that its important. i do know some guys who are gentleman by nature. and its because they came from a good family. but i said some because now a days they are so few.. i noticed that when i go to work every morning and most of the people who are seated on the buses are guys... girls are standing... wow i was really shocked and most of them are college students... is it because some of the parents now are not teaching their kids good manners? because even if they saw an old lady standing they will pretend they are sleeping... so sad on whats happening with our society nowadays... and sometimes its the girls who will stand for that old lady or pregnant woman... WHAT A SHAME ON MEN... i don't mean that you have to stand and give your seat to all the women you see, just the old lady, a pregnant woman, or someone who has a kid in their arms are signs that you should really help... thank God my brother is a gentleman so is my fiancee... they have the instinct to help others... this really tells how the person was educated and nurtured by their family.

here are gentlemen in this world even today.my grandfather always be like a gentlemen,he have a black hat,a skirt,a long paint,and did not smile like laugh ,just action slowely ,and talk use word very carefully......he born 100 years age
