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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
It's more or less a mix. Some girls find it offensive for a guy to be a gentleman because it for some reason makes them feel "unequal" to the guy. If a gentleman opens the door to a girl, the possibility of her going berserk on how offensive it was that he did that is 1:2
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."
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.

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
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
Being a gentleman doesn't mean that I have to bear with most of females sh**ting on my head and using me just because I'm kind to them. I also don't have to explain it to you. Know why? Because I'm a generic asshole now 😇
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.
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.

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.
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.
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."
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...

Well explained
You were never a gentleman if you gave it up so easily, just to please others.
@usernamemadness We all have our cup of measure. Yours is just different from mine.
@UsernameMadness is right on that point.
