Gentleman vs "Nice" Guy?

[monowolf1]

Girl says, "Thank you for always being such a gentleman. I genuinely appreciate it." Do you consider that the same as being called a "nice" guy, or is there a difference between a gentleman and a "nice" guy? Please explain.

[PatrickJames]

I personally think that being a nice guy is just doing nice things here and there

But when someones described as a gentleman its as if they are more prestige and more classy.

Being perceived as a gentleman in my opinion is a package of how a guy acts, looks and talks. If you did a chivalrous act you would be considered a gentleman as anything chivalrous goes hand in hand with being a gentleman

There is huge difference.

Gentlemen are Polite, They aren't Needy.
Gentlemen Say What she Want to Say, Nice Guys say What She Wants to Hear.
We Listen to Her Emotions, Not to Her Words. Gentlemen try to be Who You Are, Not Who You Think She Wants You to Be.
We are Sexual, Not Creepy. We Make Her Feel Special, Not Superior.

Being a Good Indian. 😊

Tht was actually a very good synopsis

[The_Gentelman]

Well explained

[Lukas_95]

Even gentleman can pretend. Maybe its only a behavior of how to act when being with a woman. Nothing more.. Cos everyone can pretend being a gentleman. And only few are real. And are like gentleman in general doesn't matter who they talk to.

@Lukas_95

*"only few are real."*

Agree.

[R4vag3r]

I believe a gentleman is someone who's very nature and personality is chivalrous. They're approach to things is with an air of sophistication and understanding. A nice guy is someone who is simply well meaning and good natured. Thus, you can make the statement that all gentlemen are nice guys, but not every nice guy is a gentleman.

[Obviouslyfabulous]

A gentleman is a guy who is actually nice whereas a “nice” guy is clear in his ulterior motives of being nice to you only to get into your pants. A gentleman doesn’t have to point out when he does something nice whereas the general nice guy says some shady bull like “bUt I’m A NiCe GuY.” Actions speak louder than words.

A nice guy doesn't use profanity around his date. He doesn't raise his voice and he opens the door for her and always says please and thank you. A gentleman allows you to order first on a date. He listens when you talk and he doesn't put your needs or wants second.

[Magixx]

A gentleman and nice guy are the same thing to me, but if a guy is being nice, so just call him a gentleman. Like you would call a girl a lady

[SidKnee]

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A MEME IS! 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤

[Magixx]

I do know what a meme is. No need to be so mean.

The question is does it bloody matter in today's world. We don't have relationships to be with a person we have relationships to archive orgasm and that's it. They don't really have any meaning or any substance. So you can be the gentlemen or the nice guy, your still gonna get your heart broken when some drunken asswipe rubs his dick against your girl at a bar and he is now her man because he's bigger or he knows what he wants.

The truth is give up. Like there isn't a point. And not in a migtow idiotic women just use you. I'm also speaking to women when I say just stop. There's no point we have become so self obsessed we don't find love anymore we just look for who can satisfy me next. I hate my generation.

[DonRomeo]

If she has sex with you, you're not a niceguy. Gentleman is basically the same thing. I might say 'oh thats such a nice tree!' but Im not gonna fuck it.

Since I got good at game, I've never been called a gentleman by any girl I've pulled as far as I can remember. When I couldnt get laid, I was often called a gentleman. So dont be one of them!

[DonRomeo]

Ok, just a post-script: a girl I fucked at a festival a while back literally just now got in touch and said she liked what a gentleman I was, and could we do it again.

Unbelievable. Reminds me of the time I told a guy 'you never hookup by getting a girls number at a bar and then meeting somewhere else later' - and the exact same day, I did just that. Maybe I should give more wrong advice, it seems to be working for me 😆

[iknowmostthings]

A gentleman made his intentions clear up front right away that he wants her.
A nice guy more than likely was too shy or missed her nonverbal signals so he hangs around waiting for a signal that she likes him. He does chivalrous stuff thinking she will then like him. She friend zones him and he doesn't realize it or does and keeps helping her trying to get her to like him. Women see that as manipulative, amazing they don't see themselves as using the guy and they either know or are oblivious he likes her but lets be honest, she knows. She is frankly no better in that behavior because many are now using the guy for validation or to get free stuff either material or labor.

[Robinrjpa]

You should check out r/niceguys on Reddit. In short, yes, "nice guys" are basically the complete opposite of what people would seem to be a gentleman.

Nice guys is a sarcastic jab at guys that act nice in order to eh, yeah, I guess you can fill in the rest.

[EmmanuelMurder]

Nice guy has a negative connotation to it. Usually a nice guy is unappealing, dorky, awkward, uninteresting, etc. A lot of the times they also try to use niceness as a means of enticement. Compensation for a lack of genuine charm. Gentleman has a positive connotation to it and is just someone who's polite

[redrocket68]

Nope. The word "nice guy" is basically just as bad as any other "N word" Its used by women to describe a guy that isn't masculine and loud and assertive enough to turn her on. Thats not a good thing. its a backhanded compliment. If women are saying this you need to learn to never put any of them on a pedestal.

[genericname85]

nice is a general term describing an overall nice person.

i think gentleman is more a male focused term, combining manly traditions or even chivalry.

however both are bretty much often used to describe the same thing: a poor boring dude who fails to attract women cause he puts them on a pedestal and then complains that they don't like him.

[Nickiiee]

For me a nice guy is just a general nice person, while a gentleman will pay attention to little details mainly focused on women. A nice guy on a date might give you a compliment while a gentleman would hold open the door or something like that.
I think that a nice guy is subconsciously nice while a gentleman would be attention to the other person and make conscious deisicions. At least that's how I few the 2

[UltimateGohan]

Gentleman and nice guy are all those who end up falling in the friendzone

[Smilestri]

Definitely different.. Gentleman is being a decent guy.. nice guy is actually being nice- being sweet and considerate..

[QueenofCups]

A gentleman is chivalrous. A bad boy can still be a gentleman.

[Andre__]

Nice guy gives me more of a distant feeling. You say it of someone you know but are not (yet) close to.. A gentleman is more behavioural.

[Anonymous]

Yes there is a difference. A Gentleman has manners/chivalry and yet is confident and strong and stylish in a classic way. When I think gentleman I think of Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.

“Nice” guys - in my opinion that means they are nice, friendly, but maybe meek too.

I live in the South so perhaps “gentleman” has a very specific meaning to me.

[broken_souls]

I don't think they're the same thing... I'm a gentleman when there's reason to be, and I've been told so. The rest of the time people just tell me I'm an asshole and not really nice for shit

[damoM]

Saaaaaame. I'm usually on my best behaviour around family and in public, but i have a bogan heart. I cuss, i drink cheap beer, i fart in places outside of the bathroom and i pick my nose.

[broken_souls]

I'm 17, so I don't drink. But I do that minus picking my nose, and I smoke anywhere I go, cigarettes or just vaping, depends on what I have 😂

[KevinSmiley13]

A gentleman and a "nice" guy act similarly but the "nice" guy is only doing it for personal gain. A gentleman is doing the right thing.

[CheckPlease]

No difference but the nice guy does it more. The gentleman does it once or twice.

[Chaoseverywhere]

i get call fuckboy, dick flop, asshole all the time. but never those kind words.

[ohprincess]

He falls under both persona's. It's highly rare and appreciated.

[icanthinkofauser]

It's the same thing. But no guy is going to be a gentleman 24/7

[psychosam]

People who claim to be a "nice guy" are always complete pussies. You can be a nice person without being an absolute pushover
