I still haven't found the right man but there is one thing that I've got very clear...the man I need and I could ever fall in love again should be a gentleman...one of those special men that are kind and gentle, that can court me and make me feel at my ease...a man with a good cultural level and good manners...I hate vulgarity and love courtesy, intelligence and sensibility.
and what about you? do you women like gentlemen? and what about you men? are you gentlemen with women? do you think it important?

Oh dear yes - I am "looking" for such a man but more and more I wonder if such a man does exist - the saying "all the good ones are taken" is really really true when you get into my age bracket.
Some say I'm just being too picky but I like to think I am just being particular, I've been down that road too many times, being with the wrong man, don't want to do it again.

i am so hurt inside now that I am not looking for anybody...I am alone and I am trying to feeling better...but if I ever have to fall in love again I hope I will find a gentleman...all good are either taken or are gays or are priest!!! this is what my friends and I are used to saying when complaining about men!!!
but I think it is better not start a relationship that starting one that we are sure to find painful...better not choose the wrong man if possible

Just make sure that lonlyness doesnt leed to you falling for any sweet talking guy out there. All to many guys play the nice guy part in front of you but behind your back are scheming on your friends or siblings for that matter.
The majority of guys in my eyes are dispicable creatures and i am ashamed of what we do, not saying girls now adays are innocent, ive seen my fair share of scandalis women to.
Be happy with yourself first, that will reflect positivly to others.

thank you very much for your comment...you're right...there was a time in which I was so moved by gentleness that I trusted each guy being gentle with me, even if he didn't do anything special...now I know that I can hardly trust anybody else...because there are so many people ready to deceive you and I seem to have find many...many women can be bad with men, too...it is not a matter of gender...it depends on the inner sould of each human being...so you are right..I am trying to stay safe and well with myself...and I am not looking for another person..I am only saying that I wish I could find a man like this if I ever fell in love again...

love,understanding, respect, honesty, humour and ofcouse a good backgound are the things i have always watched for in my man, haven't found someone with all though. i have seen men with awefully good looks and chivalrous gestures but somewhere deep within they are dandies and full of supercial whims. i would rather choose a good , honest human without superficial good looks than an apparently unsurpassble poseur.
thank you

oh how much I agree with you....it is not external aspect that is important but a person's soul...I am with you...this is the reason why i am talking only about inner qualities and not about physical aspect...the true beauty is inside us...I am looking for good people...gentlemen in their heart

well i can't say i'm a gentleman with woman,cos i don't know whats that mean!!??? i'm simple and easy guy, i try too be one( whatever that gentlemen's mean is) but it doesn't work, i can say i try too be good with my friends well if my best try is good enough for them or not i don't know, cos they are too good to tell me if i'm not.
if you are looking for a perfect one you just wasting your time love,enjoy your life,don't wait for it to come along,time won't pass

She already said that she is not looking for perfect man.
There is a little difference between perfect and gentleman...

Years ago, I experienced a terrible relationship with a boorish man who was charming but had no sense of respect or moral fiber. I promised myself, never again. The next guy I dated was a doctor, he was kind, compassionate, well-traveled and socially charming. He was also spineless. I did not feel protected when I was with him or that he was a figure of authority. I realized that what I sought was a balance between the "brute" and the "baron". I must have an intelligent man, yet he must also be manly. I must have a kind man, yet he must also be capable. He must be respectful and still know his own mind. As I seek to find this balance within myself, so do I require it in a mate. My grandmother used to teach me to "get your head right and your behind will follow". In other words, make sure your mind and spirit are in order and the rest will happen. Focus on the development of your self, learn from whatever relationships you encounter along the way and you will be fulfilled. Good luck and remember to allow yourself time to heal. It sounds as though you are carrying the natural baggage that comes along with heartache.

i do agree with you...some women are not gentle anymore and seem not to appreciate courtesy ...but I am one of those old fashioned ones who think this is the most important thing and be sure I am not missing the opportunity if I ever meet a gentleman

I have to agree that search for gentleman (read “frog willing to be transformed into prince”) is every woman’s dream. I think that we are looking for whole package: good friend who can join our passion, intelligent with good manners and at least moderate gentleman. Charming Agent 007 with sweet look like Jude Law.
Prince coming on white horse with red rose, diamond ring and forever love.
In reality new age man is spoiled by mothers, trained by stupid p..orn movies and sites leaving woman with huge disappointment.
Women are cosmic travelers with big dreams. Women are always dreaming about the man they want. Some are lucky to find Mr. Right…some are still searching.
The good news is…keep your standard, accept only the best and you can turn your dreams into reality.

oh my dear...You made me smile...I didn't think it would sound like this..well as a matter of fact I don't believe in the prince anymore...I am so hurt that the only thing I am talking about is a real man, one of those man who is not speaking badly or treating you bad and who still takes courtesy into great consideration...if this turns to be a prince...ok I am looking for a prince...the truth is I am trying to remind myself what I don't want...I want to keep in my mind that I have not to forget who I am and what I am looking for and above all what I think it important and fundamental

I would love to find a man like that. One who makes me feel special and treats me as if I were. One I can trust. One I can be comfortable with. Who will want and love me for who I am. It would be wonderful to find such a man. I wonder though if they do exist at all anymore. If they do they must either be in hiding or very rare because I sure haven't seen or met any.

You wouldn't find a man if you will set a characteristic that your man would be that. It's nice to let your heart choose to whom it would beat rather than what your mind dictate what your man should be. Everyone is looking for a gentleman but they actualy not found it because their heart loves a man opposite from their dream man.

It is always important to be nice and kind to other people, whether you are a man or a woman. Being rude and mean does not go very far with me.

What do you mean by gentleman.Only good culture intelligence make you happy.Intelligence are always busy on their work,they may not have time to spend with you.Then you may be frasteated.Godd cultural people also have some limitations.They almost believe on their own culture,they dont have time to understand other view or culture.Only good sensiblity or good humour people may understand you.What you say now?

maybe I cannot express myself very well because of my poor English but I am looking for a gentleman.. a man who think like I do that we are noble because of our heart and who is kind in his heart...therefore he is going to be sensitive and gentle and yes I need a well cultured and intelligent man because I need someone to share my soul with...and I am a busy woman and I hope I am quite intelligent and I am working on improving my culture everyday..so I hope to find someone who respect me and gives me the right importance in his life...if this is not possible, I am here alone and quite happy with myself...would you like to join my new group...women looking for gentlemen? you're welcome!!

it's not that important to find a gentleman. all u need is a man who can provide u enough food, shelter and the basic things in life so u can concentrate your effort and time on other things like making babies... a man cannot be a gentleman forever. it'll be hard to protect him from vicious women out there.

I would consider myself a gentelman, it's first nature for me to treat others respectfully and with consideration. I would say however that I am not a gentleman to the point of losing my personality and individualism... I do have a colorful vocabulary at times, as well as many opinions on things (not all of them politically correct). Wouldn't it be quite a boring world if everyone's personality were sugar-coated?

I don't think that being a gentleman or a gentle person means not having a personaliyty...you can be gentle and express and difend your ideas...I don't want a baby or an empty person..I am talking about a clever, well cultured person who thinks that vulgarity is not the rule in the world
