What are the benefits of being a gentleman in this generation?

There never was a real benefit to it. Its a thing like philantrophy but only for women. Now that women can stand up for themselves its not needed any longer.

Historically gentlemen were men with highly disposable income, not every man could afford it. Most men could only afford to be gentlemen on the weekends when taking a lady to diner, the rest of the were just normal guys like all the rest.

Gentlemen were highly selective and wouldn't take just any woman to diner. They wanted women of a "good breed". Thats what they said in books about gentlemen from the 1800's.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of people are warping the term "gentleman." Being a gentleman does not mean being a nice guy.

Example: James Bond - he's an assshole, but still treats women well, at least for a while. In short, everything must be done in doses.

Always holding the door for a girl overtime may imply she's incapable, one which in today's age is an insult (thank you feminism).

Being a gentleman adds spice and extra flavor, but you must know when to add the spice/moves on a girl and do it in doses.

You build yourself for yourself
Then you will experience the benefits.

It would better to mention the benefits of manners, as both men and women can be included in the conversation. Look no further than Peggy post's Etiquette book. I learned exactly why men pay for dates--it is because typically us guys invite her to dinner.

having manners will help you with life in general by having a lot less grudges held against you whether it be work, school, or dating

None other than bragging rights (if they can even be considered brag worthy) Don't need to be a gentleman to get laid in 2017 when you can order a whore online like a pizza.

[Aizou]

Feeling good about oneself, not regretting past actions in the long run, being treated well in return (by people who matters), is just some perks.

[Scrambledagain]

You are liked by a lot of people. That's one good thing.

But it comes at the price of never getting laid or making it in business. You will,, WILL die with mediocrity.

Love all these guys who talk about "acting a gentlemen" when they're neckbeard loners who sport fedoras.

[coachTanthony]

Not much if you wear that stupid looking hat.. just saying!

[ACrazyHaggis]

self respect
discipline

that being said being a gentlemen does not mean you should be a door mat you have lines and boundaries so stick to them

It usually backfires being a good/nice person. It worst of all it never gets you laid or success in life.

[Mrwoo99]

An worst*

[SlitherySnake]

You get a girlfriend who doesn't respect you because you're a "nice guy" who doesn't respect himself. So essentially nothing worth any value

[John_Doesnt]

The respect and adoration of women everywhere. Be a boss and take respect like an Alpha Male.

[whywouldyou]

you end up with a lady

[Scrambledagain]

😂😂😂😂 yes you are right. One lady. The non- gentlemen fuck many women. Gentleman= 1
Non gentleman = plural

[Narts]

non gentlemen get bitches but gentlemen get real women.

[Aizou]

@Narts Funny how the younger guy has to correct the older guy here. :3

[whywouldyou]

like these answers gentleman. 💪😉😁

[Scrambledagain]

@Aizou the older guy is having wine with his SO, then has to send his girlfriend some bdsm protocols, then organise a play date with another woman. Never once was I gentleman to get this. When I was I gentleman, nothing happened. Experience counts here lads.

[Narts]

i think your issue is your bitter towards women and can't spell. being a pushover and a gentlemen are different things.

[Scrambledagain]

@Narts I saw some grammar errors, and some typos, but where was the spelling mistake?

[whywouldyou]

get over it.

[whywouldyou]

who cares why are you being insulting?

[Scrambledagain]

Who you speaking to? 14 year old is being insulting? I'm asking why?

[whywouldyou]

Some people aren't good with grammar. you shouldn't point it out. They more than likely know.

[Scrambledagain]

Ok that wasn't me, hence I'm asking the question. But he has made a grave mistake that I will point out if he replies back.

[Narts]

grave mistake? im so scared!

[likitb4istickit]

For those that give a crap about a lady (that tends to be high maintenance). Rather just save time and get a Backpage whore. Being a gentleman is optional, not mandatory then (she isn't going to give you a discount either way, trust me).

[Purin]

You end up in a friend zone.

[Scrambledagain]

@Narts no, just that, you made the language error, and I think I know what it is lol

Which is ironic yet predictable considering every reply to me is incoherent and off topic.

[Anonymous]

you'll have a lot more free time because girls are too busy hanging out with fuckboys and wondering why all the nice guys are gone. :D

[Anonymous]

lmao thats actually a good point.
men do all these generous and respectful acts to be labeled as a gentleman and what do women do? simply be female, thats all they have to offer in a relationship.

[YHL6965]

I tend to ask me this question every day. Is there still a point of being one...

[Anonymous]

There are no benefits. Being a genleman nowadays is stupid. Because a gentleman needs ladies. And all ladies are either married or gone. So yeah, being a gentleman towards cheap whores is pointless

[NerdInDenial]

You won't get attacked.

[TheFlak38]

You are immune to bitches.

[ak_vic96]

nothing... too be precise

[Anonymous]

you will have more girls after you
