Good afternoon

This is a thread for the guys, sorry ladies.

During recent times I’ve been disillusioned by certain behaviour of some men.

For research purposes only guys can you please tell me what your definition of a gentleman is?

I’m trying to understand as maybe my expectations of what one is are far too high.

Thank you xx

"A man who is gentle

The serious answer here is that it differs from person to person - we all have our own personal standards.

Behaviour that is considered gentlemanly by one person will no doubt be considered creepy by another

I find it a bit creepy when a man describes himself as a gentlemen, just because he treats women with respect, surely this just a given, it’s not some great thing to strive for it should be just the norm. Treating everyone with respect should be just be one of the basics for everyone, men, women, whoever. So when you talk about men, you’re just talking about individuals, men aren’t a collective unit, same as women aren’t. We can only control our Own behaviour, what other people do has no bearing on how I treat people, regardless if they’re the same sex as me.

A Gentleman is a man that makes you feel comfortable at all times. Respectfull.. makes you laugh. “Old fashioned” buys you flowers opens the car door, restaurant door..with a cheeky slap on the ass..

Listens to you and kind hearted.

Encourages you in all aspects and supportive. Doesnt put pressure on you in any situation.

Laughs, Listens, protects.. Not everything is sexual..Stimulate a womans mind and “on the same level” you will get that title of a Gentleman

That’s it! These are the kinds things I did for my daughters right from little kids when going out for dinner , not the slap on the ass of course! So that they grew up with an expectation of what a date feels like, and how a guy should treat a girl, so they don’t end up with a duffer.

I think the definition of a Gentleman can be, Stylishly dressed, smell nice, manners, intelligence with an element of danger or intrigue about him. He doesn’t have to have the upper class accent or even money just knows when to talk and when to listen.

Well put. This is close to my thinking.

However the post on how you treat everyone not just Ladies is really where we should be in Society. As I grew up I talked to everyone and tried to get on well. When I started work I found out my soft skills were getting done quicker than expected or finding out things that others took ages to do. All because I treated people well. Listening is an underatted skill.

I wonder if I should add a slap on the Ladies rear to my behaviour but I think a slap in the face would be the answer unless we were play friends....

Good luck with your search OP. For each opinion there is a match.

I find the actions, rather than words or his clothes that define "gentleman" behaviour.

Chivalry - opening doors, taking her coat and putting it on her after a nice dinner. Pulling a chair out for her to sit, offering a hand if she wants to get up.

A great smile and plenty of eye contact.

I would image a gentleman is a male who puts the needs of others before themselves. Is honourable, curious and displays impeccable manners.

May I wish you luck on your search for your ‘gentleman’. They are a dying breed, but not yet extinct.

Dictionary definition:

'A well-mannered and considerate man with high standards of proper behavior.'

I suppose it depends how you define proper behaviour.

If someone is behind me as I walk through a door I'll hold it open for them. But I wouldn't open a door especially for a woman, or pull her chair out for her in a restaurant, or open the car door for her to get in/out.

I wouldn't call myself a gentleman but I would treat a woman I was in a relationship with in the same way I treat everyone - with respect and kindness (doesn't mean I wouldn't get annoyed or angry with them). And I would expect the same.

Are we allowed to answer or just men

I have an idea of what a gentleman is to me. It’s about strength and compassion. Power and gentleness, confidence and being humble. Knowledge and ability to learn. Competence but not perfection. Commanding and kind. It is a look, and from the inside. It’s in the eyes and hands. It is not something you can learn.

It’s a big ask.

Someone polite, considerate, respectful, with an enquiring mind and who doesn't judge others for anything except unethical behaviour (i.e. no shaming for people's lifestyle choices). Has a code of ethics and tries to stick to it. Intelligence and wit are usually part of the package.

I really love this but it is a big ask. People are flawed, selfish, self focused. This gentleman ideal is almost putting a man on a pedestal and expecting him to be all of the aforementioned and not just... well, a man. I think men can have good traits and can do good but no one is perfect and I know that some of my friends expect this "gentleman" who never steps a foot wrong and does it all but I don't think that's possible. Anyway, it's interesting reading ideas from other men, thanks OP.

I agree with this. I don't want to be put on a pedestal or pretend to be something I'm not. I want to be accepted for who I am with all the crap and baggage I might bring with me. And I would strive to do the same with you. It's tough and there will be ups, downs and misunderstanding but I don't want an ideal or be seen as an ideal. But if you think the person is worth it you will both learn to navigate through the problems together.

There and to the left a bit

I'm not sure a gentleman would define himself, rather have the label used by others about him based on his actions - and that in itself might be quite subjective - yes it probably will come down to various "standards" such as respect and courtesy, manners and decency but it's something more than that too and to an extent may vary from person to person

I think of it as the two words separated, a gentle man.

Gentle

adjective

having or showing a mild, kind, or tender temperament or character.

"a gentle, sensitive man"

As someone said above, a man who considers the impact of his words and actions on others. Sadly, far too many people only think about what is important to them. Nicer people think about how they affect their friends and family. Gentlemen consider their impact on everyone.

To me it isn't about respect for others, it is about respect for self, being the best person you can be whatever others do. That means being polite, kind, helpful, respectful to all - not just ladies you think are attractive.

Obviously I don't want a gentleman then. I don't need or want car doors opening, thank you. I don't need protecting. Buying me stuff to try and demonstrate love - show me your love, don't try and buy it.

My husband is a gentleman. He and I have an unspoken understanding. He does the things I am no longer capable of due to disability, but even though I might find some things harder to do, like get in and out of the car, I want to do it myself. I'd rather struggle a bit, but be independent.

A gentleman is someone who supports and encourages, yes, definitely. But it's also someone who respects the other person's wishes and respects that the other person is an independent and autonomous person. I don't want someone else's idea of chivalry foisted on me

Someone who behaves and in a courteous manner.

I love classical gentleman. Opening the car door, carrying bags, opening doors, taking charge, walking on the side of the road with traffic.

If a guy isn’t like this it instantly puts me off. Like if I met a guy at a social and he was already there sat at a table and he didn’t stand to greet me it would be a instant turn off

my mamma taught me to expect certain things and hell I expect them. Made the mistake with a bad boy in the past who left me to carry a big wooden frame because he was sulking. Never make that mistake again.

"I can say with confidence, for all his education and standing in society, our PM is not one.

The last politician that screams gentleman would be Barrack Obama."

Amen sister, amen!

A gentleman is a man who can play the bagpipes, but doesn't.

I would hope that in the eyes of my family, friends and associates I would be considered a gentleman. To me, being a gentleman encompasses lots of things, like attitude, consideration for others, respect, courtesy, manners and behaving with honour and dignity at all times. It's a style and behaviour that is not limited to dealings with the opposite sex exclusively.

A gentleman walks, but never runs. A gentleman only looks down on you when offering a hand up. A gentleman will never place you in an embarrassing or difficult position. A gentleman will be truthful, without being hurtful, even at their own expense. A gentleman will listen, understand, and respect your position. A gentleman will have your back. A gentleman will support. A gentleman is measured in his response, and thoughtful in his words and actions. A gentleman considers others, and how his actions impact on others. A gentleman respects his own dignity, and the dignity of others.

How well I match these lofty ideals is for those who know me to comment.

"Treating others as you would hope to be treated yourself!

I don’t think it’s creepy to describe yourself as a gentleman. Even if you only aspire to be one calling yourself one with help you affirm and live to a certain standard.

I call myself one because I am often told I am. And I believe it and choose it as my manta for living life. Not blowing a trumpet here, but my verifications are pretty consistent. So why not embrace being a gentleman?
