Gentlemen: Are there still any?

I think by nature men want to be gentlemen. They are called to protect, provide and care about women, bones of their bones, flesh of their flesh. Any man would want to be to be a gentleman for their spouse, to the best of their knowlegde, eventhough the word is not familiar to them. So, I'd like to see it from another view, woman's. What I learn from my relationship is often I was the one who contributed the most if my boyfriend was considered not being a gentleman. He himself is a gentleman by nature just like any other man. However, perhaps in my quest for independence, I often refused to receive his gentleman-like acts. Now I know better and I'm sorry for ever complaining that he was not being gentleman enough to me at times. I learn that we, women, should not just complain about our men without evaluating first our own acts. Often it is our own doing that make them someone we dislike. And even if at some extent they are acting like a jerk, we still have options how to respond to that. Follow their act and let it be a continous vicious cycle, or break it by refusing to do the same. So, let's stop that complaints and help our men to be the way they also want to be for us!

not all gentlemen have good manners and correct conduct for the simple reason that most of do know what is right and proper. a real gentleman is simply someone who is kind,generous,caring and uderstanding of others. if one does not open a car door for you that he is not already a gentleman ,maybe these women needs a a driver. or if a no one pulls a chair for you ,maybe they need a waiter instead of a gentleman.but do not get me wrong , i do these things because i am aware of it but how about the other gentlemen.do not be dictated by what society tells you what and how things should be.

Yes my husband is a gentleman. He opens doors for me and carry heavy stuff for me. He usually holds my hand when we cross the street.

I can definitely consider my bf to be a gentleman, but he has to accept the fact that I'm a fairly modern and rather unromantic girl. I'm afraid I'd spoil something nice like him pulling out my chair for me with a sarcastic remark. I can't help it :)
