Qualities of a TRUE gentleman

[Arvaos]

We often see women say they want a real man but what about a TRUE gentlemen?

Do courtesy and manners still rank highly?

Depends on where you live. Here in the states, holding the door for someone goes unappreciated often, and if roles get reversed, the other person will let the door slam in your face even after you hold it for them.

Despite traditional chivalry and etiquettes seemingly dying or at least evolving, it is still highly regarded yet under fire by modern perception of gender equality.

Personally from opinion and experience, courtesy and manners is ranked higher than ever before as it's become almost rare.

Here in Australia, I hold the doors for ladies and it's always appreciated and seemingly rare. Sadly it's an uncommon gesture now.

The qualities of a TRUE gentlemen has nothing to do with women.

A true gentlemen:
- Helps other men
- Does charity work to improve his neighborhood
- Uplifts his children to become upstanding citizens
- Teaches that loving thy neighbor will lead to peace on Earth

I only hold doors for men. Not for women.

That one is so wide open that it could mean just about anything.

Be great if those mannerisms were on this forum, huh?

You forgot that a man should not only have Greek God body, he should seek the mastery of philosophy and the arts as well.

Off topic is the second worst place to ask this lol

I have never had one woman be insulted when I hold the door for her...Maybe it is just because it is manners with no motive...

A gentleman?

I think only of the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Kindness, like everything else is contextual in the way you apply it. That’s why even something innocuous and friendly can come off as creepy.

You should treat people well because it’s the right way to treat people, not because you expect some kind of response or recognition.

Or don’t. Y’all do you.
