well this is my first forum read this morning lol...interesting i'd say...i'm sure there are plenty gentlemen around here but what would define what that is?
I consider myself a gentleman...just because i'm respectful and honest...however...not everyone deserves respect0 -
Who are intelligent, secure and don't need to try and "prove" their manhood?
I prefer gentlemen to be dangerous... are you trying to tame them?
Intelligent, check. Required.
Secure, sure... but what does that mean to you? Financially secure, emotionally secure? Tame enough for you to control, grin?
Try and prove manhood... hrm. Most guys don't do this either. Oh, sure there's a desperate dude here and there, but they are easily avoided. Or are you offended when men do classically "guy" things, and get irreverent and dominant? I rather like a streak of irreverent humor and dominance in a man.
All in all, not what I signed up on the website for, which is just watching my diet and exercise to lose weight, same as the guys I reckon. I guess if I am looking to date, I would find a dating site!0 -
Nope. Just a scholar.0

Well, I like to think that I am a gentleman.
I hold the door open, I walk on the "street side" of the sidewalk and I lift heavy things.
However; I think many get "wuss" and "gentleman" confused....0 -
Jeebus, can't believe this thread is still going. But in order to get a true "answer" to this, wouldn't it be prudent to have a listing of the OP's definition of "gentleman"?
And for what its worth, over the years I've found that people posting on message boards (especially in forums like this one "chit-chat, fun and games") tend to be exactly opposite on the board than they are in person, granted its a very small sampling I have to confirm that, but the more somebody argues that "hey, look at me, I'm a great human being and wonderful person", the more they are not. Furthermore, the ones that often come across as pure jerks on these boards are very quiet, polite and lead great lives outside of these boards, they just have a sarcastic sense of humor and "run with it" on these boards.
Not saying its that way all the time or in all instances, but tendencies are tendencies.
As for me, I'll let those who know me in person and outside of these boards to decide what kind of person I am in their own eyes.0 -

I agree, and its totally true for me!
I'm a hardcore debater who can really let it fly on a message board, but in person I'm really way nicer so I am told.
Don't care much about taming it down for the easily offended, though I do try not to be too offensive. I'm probably too offensive for the OP, however. But as I am not male, it doesn't count. Right, right? 0 -
@digitalbill:Now I'm curious. Do women view gentleman as being weak, willfully or sexually?
No. It's easier and lazier to be a *kitten*. It takes discipline and self-control to be a gentleman.0 -
i completely agree, I have never been to a gym in my life, I don't like meatheads/muscleheads. So I just workout at home. I know everyone at the gym isn't like that. But I like to avoid *kitten*.@digitalbill:Now I'm curious. Do women view gentleman as being weak, willfully or sexually?

It is definitely not me you are looking for :laugh:0

I don't have the ability to change or "tame" anyone. Only God can do that.
We covered intelligent.
Secure: he knows who he is, what he wants out of life but (and this ties into the third "qualification") doesn't have to spend his time and energy trying to prove that's who he is or get defensvie about it.
He just goes out and lives his life with integrity.
His actions speak louder than his words.
(My definition would be a guy who is kind, respectful and self-less)
I could respect the answer of the guys who just came right out and said "NO". Period.
So maybe honesty is another part of it.0 -
Men being gentlemen over the internets?? I am having difficulty grasping this... Social graces occur in REAL LIFE. This is the web, people are free to be however they want. So I don't get the point of the post???? Tthe two dudes she's not looking for....y'all can come OVER HERE

I don't know what your definition of Manhood is. I provide for my wife and three daughters. I put their needs above all others. I go to work everyday. I pick my battles wisely. I don't look for trouble or adversity, but neither do I back away from it. I treat my women like the ladies I want them to be and the way I want the men in their life to treat them.
If that is your definition of Manhood, then I am a Man.0 -

Yes, especially the last part " I treat my ladies like the ladies I want them to be and the way I want the men in their life to treat them."
I want this for my daughter too and I think the first and most important person she learns this from is her father.0 -
I am thinking that being a gentelman and showing common courtesy are pretty much the same thing.@digitalbill:Now I'm curious. Do women view gentleman as being weak, willfully or sexually?
No. It's easier and lazier to be a *kitten*. It takes discipline and self-control to be a gentleman.
If a woman or a child is cold, give them my jacket.
My wife lost her sunglasses while we were on vacation so, I let her use mine.
Stupid things like that.0 -

Kind and respectful of everyone, not just women. But this is a human attribute, not merely a gentlemanly one. I pretty much take that without saying for everybody, male or female.
I don't want a guy who is selfless... having a deep sense of self preservation and self respect usually translates into respect for others as well. I don't want a guy who is selfish, though... that's a completely different thing. I don't want anyone who is selfish, again this is a human attribute which is equally ugly in women as it is in men.
edit... I tend to be a little sparing with respect, I can be rather blunt with people who are rude and obnoxious, and I have no qualms with anyone else who is this way, either.0 -

Hmmm...
I think self respect is a precursor for being self-less, which is given out of strength of character.
And, yes, I think these (positive) qualities are virtuous in both men and women.
There was a previous post saying I should have said both ladies and gentlemen.0 -
Ok so what is it with some women trying to turn men into women. They are suppose to compare size and posture around showing off their plumage. It is the natural way. I'm so tired of these wishy washy limp wristed wanna be men. If you have ever used the phrase manscaping I revoke your man card in the name off woman kind. The worst part is that men are turning into sissies because of women. We demanded sensitivity and they lost their balls in the process. Please boys be boys. Compare your muscles, grunt at each other, but stop short of clubbing us over the head and taking us back to your cave (well at least don't do the clubbing over the head part). :-)

I like a man that is confident in themselves and is not going to be insecure with me getting dressed up and going out with friends, I cannot stand it when men act more like women than some women lol0 -

yeah this!!!...not sure what you would think is a gentleman to you but i'm sure there could be many different opinions from many different people...as I said...personally I consider myself to be...I don't have to define anything to anybody...especially when I don't know you lol...hell I could say anything but anybody who does indeed know me..would say the same thing0 -

OMG, this post made my day! I can't stop laughing at work. I have to agree thou...0 -

I just appreciate "nice" posts without crudeness etc.0 -
Mom says I'm a gentleman. Fiancee says I'm an *kitten*.
They argue about this a lot as I chop down trees and kick puppies while satisfying several women at the same time with my gargantuan manhood. All 20 of my platinum VIP credit cards get maxed out and paid off each month, and I rescued 13 children from an imminent and horrible death last night on my way home from my gig as a male stripper.
So say what you want, but I'm pretty sure I'm a gentleman!
LOL
LMAO...awesome!0
