Question

Do you think men are still gentlemen these days?

man0man · Answer

In a day and age where chicks think its a good idea to send pics of themselves butt naked, spread wide open for all the world to see across social media, does it even warrant a man being a gentleman? I'm not saying that all girls do stupid shit like that, bit you can't deny that an increasing number deem it acceptable... So i think its fair to say that the number of gentlemen reflects the number of decent women left in the world.

skel47 · Answer

Id say no the gentlemen era has passed due to the " equality" movement that suffocated just being nice to women. I still hold doors, help people that are struggling. No matter if they say no an offer can make someone's day. And I hope when im in need people help me :)

Hamfry · Answer

I believe this depends on your definition of a gentleman. In my opinion a gentleman is someone who means good and does good. Someone who isn't nice because he wants you to be nice to him but is nice because he believe that everyone is worth just that. Someone who is true to himself. In that regard there are quite a few gentleman if you know where to look. However they are not necessarily the typical suit wearing, silver spoon handsome guys.

Leafpool2 · Answer

There are men who do, there's also men who claim to be gentlemen that are actually entitled manchildren and unfortunately you can run into either.

The way I tell is if somebody has to CONSTANTLY remind you at every turn that they're super nice. They're not a gentleman and you should get away from them.

NicoletteKomotov · Answer

Then ones I hang out with sure are. Perfect gentleman that know how to treat and take care of others. Always considering the other person, always attentive to their friends and lovers. These kind of guys are the best.(fully feminized males like in these pics.

haze360 · Answer

I think a lot of men are gentlemen but society today has made people think that a guy acting like a gentleman is creepy it used to be when you compliment a woman tastefully it was seen in a positive way I don't see that being the case anymore same thing for stuff like holding the door open for a woman or offering your help a lot of guys just get negative reactions now a days so it seems like it's less worthwhile to be a gentleman when you get nothing but negative reception

BlueSpark · Answer

Of course there still are, just like there are women who aren't so kind.

Nobody is perfect, but nobody is the same. That goes for any stereotypes or categories you may set for certain "types" of people.

Not all men are pigs. Not all women are delicate. Not all black people are criminals. Not all white people think they are. Not all Republicans or Democrats or whatever party you side with or hate are good or evil.

Some are, some aren't. That's just how humanity works.

Juan1312 · Answer

I would consider myself a gentlemen based on what women have told me, yet they don't date me, and instead pick other guys, who in reality, are not the gentlemen type. Even if I try being gentlemen-like, which I do always, they always choose something else. So yes, some men are gentlemen like, but even being gentlemen-like wouldn't matter since that is what many women I have met do not go for.

Lynnh · Answer

Yeah, you can find gentlemen but it's more difficult than for example twenty years ago. I mean young gentlemen. It's as if being polite towards girls wasn't "in" these days. Rather than that more and more guys think it's funny to degrade girls or make fun out of them

dimitrovtheruski · Answer

Absolutely. I know for a fact that I try my best to be one. When girls fight it, though, I think guys are more hesitant. Some girls think that guys being gentleman means that the guy "thinks she can't take care of herself." When I get fought about it, I always say "My momma taught me better than that."

Sienna-Rose · Answer

Yes definitely! I only date decent men, they seem rare enough but not impossible to find. Women should set the standard and not settle for anyone less.

Anonymous · Answer

I’m dating a gentlemen :)
I think they exist and I appreciate the heck out of them. Not sexually xD
But just if someone ever does something nice for me I say thank you. I don’t like that people say people have achieved in dating by NOT being a gentlemen

DivideByZero · Answer

There's a certain demand on the "market" of males. Existing types of males responds very well to that demand. In other words, there would be more gentlemen if women could react adequately to their actions. I used to be a gentleman. Not anymore though

Menelin · Answer

People (both men and women) tend to want the label of "mature" but are intimidated by the work needed to be mature. This is why people label themselves as what they want to be and expecting people to assume they're telling the truth. The number of real gentlemen is much smaller than the number of self-described gentlemen, but they're out there, and they're not any less common than they ever have been.

Puppylover_129 · Answer

A few. But modern times caused a big decrease. Not just feminism, music, media, a lot factored into the decrease. But women are no better. I believe most people took a step back.

Anonymous · Answer

No, not really. Different eras. Feminism pretty much killed any impetus in men to react as a classic gentleman, because many of the classic gentlemanly actions were based on the inferiority of the female sex. This was anathema to feminists, so those actions were condemned, mocked, eliminated, and the corresponding traits with them.

joshctlee · Answer

Respect and love is the foundation of a successful relationship. If you’re a man and do that, then you’re a gentleman.

The woman who are dirty club rats complain how they only date douchebags but don’t want to change their scene. The gentleman aren’t going to clubs and bars. They are constantly busting their asses trying to make a good life for themselves and those they care about.

pinkpants · Answer

Yes some cuz they are not respected or rewarded and others are turned to pussy 's, they don't have to courage to be gentlemen. Tnx to feminism

Mikey_Ramone · Answer

Why not? Unless the girls want to pay the bills or opening the doors themselves, I'd let them having their own private space. To be honest I'd do anything for the girl I love, which is now a real matter to me since I lost all my hope for a so-called "True love."

heimdallr · Answer

Read Peter wrights book "gynocentrism". He explains how chivalry and gentleman are words used to denigrate and subjugated men to the benefit of women. It's like the idea that women deserve respect.

Respect is earned and so is being treated well by someone else. The idea that you can simply expect this from all men is nothing but sexist usury.

Dragon6901 · Answer

I think like all good virtues such are best felt than telt and my question is with western society so skewed as it is how many really know what such words mean? And if you truly want to know who is a gentleman watch them don't ask them for everyone will proclaim each his own goodness but a faithful man who can find-a man who can give objective critique of his own soul completely devoid of any bias...

Ragnarok689 · Answer

Yes, but women don't give a shit and have the wrong ideas, and vice versa, men are smart enough to see it and don't see the amount of bullshit to be worth being a gentleman, having wasted time, broken heart, etc. Both genders no longer care about traditional values (being a gentleman or a lady) nor are they willing to put in the effort needed with such a crazy world, so the vision of such things becomes much less common.

ScottSummers · Answer

i used to be a gentleman  Just kidding. I really dont care to label myself as gentleman or whatever i just give respect back to people who treat me with respect regardless of their gender.

sayid92 · Answer

MScifiwriter · Answer

Just as it has always been and just as it may always be, there are men and women who make you think that society is falling apart. But then you also have those who restore your belief in the good of both men and women. Because there are a few billion people on the planet, roughly half of those are men and the other are women.

You will always find some exceptionally good as well as despicably bad people among those few billion people. I like to think that the majority are good people. :)

LilKakashi · Answer

Ok so sorta, a lot of the radical feminists are killing it calling it sexist so men stopped doing it. But seeing as my girlfriend isn't one of thr over the top feminazis if we're on a date or something a little gentlemen like is what i go for however its mostly a no

Anonymous · Answer

There are still gentlemen out there, and I believe that if you act like a lady, you will meet them.

Anonymous · Answer

I might be the wrong guy to talk, but I'm a 27 year old virgin who is still waiting until marriage. When I open the door for women these days becouse of my old fashioned values, I'm accused of, how did that one girl put it... "sexually assaulting her with my male gaze and continuing the power dynamics of patriarchy". Feminists can go shove it, I'm gonna continue being a nice guy and a gentleman.

Johvendi · Answer

I try to be. But I've had girls tell me that they're fully capable of carrying their own bag etc. I know! I'm not trying to say that you can't or that you're not a strong, independent woman. I'm just trying to be nice...

Quintessence · Answer

I think, on the whole, there is a decline in the amount of gentlemen AND ladies.
That said, not all the genteel folk are extinct just yet, and I hope the ones who are still around can set a good example for future generations.

Flankz · Answer

Well I am, but most of us are not. And that's because most men think with their penises and they fucked up women both literally and figuratively. So in turn women turned into bitches and with all the new technology women have a new position at their disposal, which makes things worse and even less men are gentlemen because of that nowadays.

Oceania · Answer

I feel like it's rare to find a gentleman but I do believe their still out there, you find a few and get shocked when you do, you know.

eg. You wait for a guy to pass first and then the day someone waits for you, you're like 😱whaa

23779639 · Answer

Depends on the man, and depends on what you consider one. I know men who appear like complete gentlemen but are complete assholes, and Vice versa. A man in a suit is Hot though lol.
Regardless people are people, nobody is a perfect gentlemen.

just_tired · Answer

reixun · Answer

*tips fedora* m’lady *throws fedora like a shruiken, making land perfectly on my hat rack, your breasts heave as you gasp with impressment* i will protect you from these misogynists

Anonymous · Answer

yes a lot of us are, but why should we be? Everywhere we go, women are talking shit about "all men". How we're all this or that and whatever else bullshit. We're getting our careers ruined for saying, "hey Jane I like your sweater today" because that's OBVIOUSLY sexual harassment. i'll hold the door for you if I see you walking in, but if you turn to bitch at me about how you don't need it because you're an empowered woman, expect to get it right back in your face. There, I'm done ranting.

PinkMichae · Answer

Yes some are. But I'm a gentlewoman too. I'll open a door for a man just to be nice.

EpicDweeb · Answer

I think there are still gentlemen but men are not gentlemen if that makes sense. Men aren't generally gentlemen, BUT there are still men who are gentlemanly.

Guanfei · Answer

Not as much as they were before, but it's not a gentlemen era. Gentlemen are seen as sexist by neo-feminists and many women, who can't accept a man acting nicely toward them. Holding doors, being polite, offering seats... everything we do is seen as at best annoying, at worst harassement or "micro-agression" as they say.
Not only that, but you can be a gentleman only to women worthy of being called ladies. And let's be honest, real ladies are something quite rare nowadays.

LeonTheHobbyist · Answer

Yes, men are individuals to. Being a gentleman used to be something that was pleasant to execute and easy to justify. Right now the dangers are out there. There are no effective defences if a girl takes chivalry for an attack on her freedoms or something. It's progressively less viable to show this side of man's character, even if it is something that the man enjoys doing.

Auris · Answer

Of course there is some left. Just a lot girls have changed by the time and now they don't really like it or appreciate that. They stopped value those kind of things and now they value others things not so meaningful ones. Sadly but not what they should value... The time has changed.

JB1992 · Answer

yes we still exist, problem is not many women out there want gentlemen anymore, and don't know how to react when they see one, they get a bit funny, gentlemen are therefore a dying breed so are ladies, it's hard to find either anymore.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

My boyfriend, brothers and dad are living proof of gallantry and chivalry. My bf's brothers and dad are true gentlemen too. I believe our fathers and grandfathers brought up their boys with good manners and proper etiquette.

SK8-Benny7 · Answer

U r looking at the wrong places sweet heart. A real man is a gentlemen, they treat they girl like queen and princesses. A boy is someone who plays with there feelings, and emotions.

centaur31 · Answer

There are gentlemen just like there are ladies even in times of feminism and misplaced ideas about someone who's trying to be a gentleman, being told he is gender biased and condescending.

Only because he is well mannered and has etiquette.

Time_Still · Answer

Yesss. There are still men who offers you their jacket, holds the door for you, drops you off at home safely, always asks for consent before kissing, etc. God bless them

BraveHeart97 · Answer

What was once called chivalry, is simply called common courtesy today. Men still show “chivalrous” acts to women but that’s only because we were taught to respect people in general and not exclusively to women. Plus, women have gainers equality now so there’s no reason why us men still need to treat women as damsels in distress. However, just because “chivalry is dead” doesn’t mean we don’t love women. It’s just that now men are no longer obligated to be chivalrous as we once was.

mattgdh · Answer

Yea but it's not like there's a point to be anymore, girls don't want a gentleman anymore, most just Wana fuck around so there's no point, wish I could change that about myself but I can't be an asshole unless I've been pissed off

MrManga · Answer

Well women have not been able to exterminate them yet but it sure is fewer of them, i personally never saw myself as a gentleman but belived being kind and helpfull was just common sense, as i got older and far to often got treated with things like "only weak men are gentlemen" so did i learn why there is so few gentlemen, gentlemens are humans too so no matter how kind they are and put others first so will even the most patient gentleman reach a limit eventually.

Odst162acount2 · Answer

Sadly no, these days people are corrupted and have to much greed in them, and not only me, and like others say they're hard to find, if you want a gentleman than I wouldn't go for super popular and good looking guys, if you do find a handsome nice guy then go for it, but you'll find gentleman are usually in the middle with popularity and not a 8/10

dragonfly6516 · Answer

No, but I also don't think they really need to be. Both genders should have basic common courtesy for each other. It shouldn't be on the man to initiate good manners polite behavior.

sage0731 · Answer

VERY rarely, and the ones that are are usually looked down on by any guys that aren't and by most women as well because it doesn't happen often anymore and they don't know how to respond to it.

Jaye234 · Answer

Where I live men are gentlemen. Don't know about elsewhere though I'd say there are gentlemen everywhere.  The key is for a woman to present herself as a lady then men will treat her as such.

JDavid25 · Answer

Yes, they still very much exist.. I'm even a gentlemen to dudes.. LOL.. Some women won't let you be a gentlemen though..

windluv3r · Answer

The only gentleman I've met are older than 50. Old school values I'm assuming. I think the idea of a gentleman has been watered down and no longer taught to young men growing up. Therefore, a true gentleman is a rarity.

roshniharish · Answer

No I always hoped for a permanent relationship I dated twice but ended up in being dumped I won a competition in my college where I became the rose queen this made me gradually understand looks don't give u true love u need luck

estoydorado1 · Answer

I've met quite a few actually. I think I make it really easy for them, though. I'm approachable, I'm personable, and people tend to feel at ease around me. I don't know about other's experiences or if some guys are only like that with certain women.

JoshNaw · Answer

Definitely some. As one already said, its hard to be one in general public to strangers as the danger of the situation being turned 180 degrees is high. Most guys now a days though have definitely went into more self absorbed personalities.

Anonymous · Answer

Most men start off like that - especislly if your dad or mum would give you a clip round the ear if you showed ĺess than 100% respect to a lady - but most guys give up after the umpteenth rejection, or too many misandric responses to them trying to be polite or chivalrous. Ladies has anyone ever kicked you in the ovaries for holding a door open for someone? No? Imagine if it did. More than once. Eventually youbwouldnt bother either...

NoOneIsKillingMe · Answer

There are. But many times women will not let us be gentlemen because they're too wrapped up in feminism.

Do you think men are still gentlemen these days? (Page 2)
