Are all the gentlemen dead now?

Sometimes I think people just need to take a page out of Freddie Mercury's book.

He was a child molester. :/

I think that largely, 'feminist' movements, as well as isolative societies finished off the notion. Although its certainly not buried.

Huh? Homosexual is what I believe you mean. If there was any accusations on child molestation, I've never heard of it.

No, I'm stll here...

I always try to be polite, and every girl says "I like you as a friend"

I remember one time, a girl I really like didn't heed my warnings and hooked up with some massive jackass. I told her this: "If you hook up with him, you will regret it. Don't do it, this guy is an ass and will treat you like crap. If you do do it, don't come to me for help, because I won't give you any."

2 months later she comes to me going "I don't know what to do, he treats me like shit, takes my stuff, and is an asshole."

I replied as any gentleman would reply: "Quite frankly my dear I just don't give a rat's ass."

I'm not dead yet, but the stuck-up bitches around here who sneer when I hold a door for 'em or abuse me when I ask if they need a hand carrying something are killing me faster every day.

Yea I think that this all leads back to the saying that "Nice guys finish last" Because as I have just so recently experienced it is true, in fact I experienced it twice in the last few years.

First I met this adorably cute girl via a friend of mine, but she never noticed till 1 week later she would say hi to me whenever we would see each other. But after say 1 month or so I left my other group of friends because they were all being dicks to me, so I went loner for a day ad got invited to lunch with them. So a year and a half passes and I was having a great time getting to know more and more about my friends. Then an old friend came back and suddenly I was ignored because I got sick for a week and my friend suddenly was the most popular guy there, even though he was treating them all like shit. Then he went out with one of the girls in the group ( 3 days ) and he told me to ask out who I liked in the group, although it wasn't asking it was forcing. So I did and got shunned until the next year by her and a few others. It took me half a year to get her to talk to me after what he made me do.

So now it was a new year and the girl I loved dated this random tricker who came into the group for a month and they were going fine. Except he didn't respect her wishes, because she wanted to keep school and bf/gf relationship seperate but that didn't happen so they ended up breaking up within 2 months. But this left her and myself scarred. So I moved on fell in love again and guess what happened? The girl I loved got taken my suddenly popular friend and now all I can do is sit back and watch because I respect her wishes to date him. This is also the same guy who she dated a year back for 3 days

So my answer to this question in particular, also sorry for talking so much had a lot to get off of my chest. My answer is how can a guy who constantly annoys, insults etc get the girl he want by constantly making fun of her. This wasn't coming across as friendly teasing either.

I say, what a disgrace!

i dropped my top hat and cane also ^^

It could have been her brother. Brothers & sisters are "supposed" to hate eachother. If it was her boyfriend & she puts up with him like that, then she really is stupid.

A girl once came out and said I must be gay because I didn't oggle her breasts and make comments concerning other females in the room. She laughed when I said I have respect for people and I find that stuff lewd. I think people in general have lost respect for each other and just expect it (meaning lack of respect and general courtesy) to come from others. And no Im not gay XD

Did you ever think this was a come on.
Maybe this girl was trying to get you to ogle her, and make you think of her
in a sexual way.
although it is a dickish thing to say to guy.

 

[Slashergirl]

My new boyfriend is really nice to me and buys stuff all the time. I have loads of boy mates who are polite and soft to all girls...
Not all men are bad. I happen to know a couple on here who seem nice enough and i know she thinks he is canny, though admitedly i wasn't sure of him as he comes across rather harsh on here. (Do not tell him, but he scares me slightly lol).

*checks my heartbeat*
Nope, not yet.

I hold doors for women, talk to them with respect, verbally tear apart any man who speaks like the dregs of society, and act as much as I can with utmost chivalry.

I have had one girlfriend, never had women interested in me, in fact, lost women to assholes and prigs. Been treated as a doormat and a nuisance.

I'm starting to think that women in general are earning the quality of man they recieve today.

I feel sorry for them. And I end up drinking alone and angry.

As the French say, C'est la vive.

There's a solution. I hold doors, while I tell them "I don't normally do this.", I talk to women like they're my bratty little sister. But I hold their attention by believing love is like a fight. There's someone that's going to dominate and it's going to be me. I enjoy their company, and I also have time to myself. Chivalry isn't dead, it just takes a different form nowadays.

Nope, Sean Connery is still alive. It's OK everyone, not all the gentlemen are dead!

Feminism has killed chivalry. And I'm not trying to be sexist, or say that women are not equal to men, but despite women's lack of some rights, they used to at least be respected. Then women's rights movement gave them the rights they deserved: good, that's how it should be. Then feminism came along and started saying that men and women were not only equal, they were exactly the same. Which is just not true. But with that belief came the idea that women are not deserving of any special treatment, and they lost the respect they once had. Sad.

While I agree in full, I don't think chivalry is 'dead'.
It is definatly on life support though, kinda sad really...

 

[Dreyfuss]

Well, if she's dating a guy like that then she IS stupid. Is truth rude?

This. Honesty is more important than kindness. Don't feel sorry for her, she's the one that chose to go out with him.

Thanks for the mention, but i must say, he isn't that scary.

I know a guy at college who works in the cafe. He always serves the girls first, trouble is, he likes to chat them up also... I find it creepy rather then polite.

My lad is canny to me and although he owes me money (and forgotten about it) i don't complain because to be honest, i don't mind it. When he needs to he backs me up and fights my battles even if i tell him not to and he dares to help me with my assignment even though its not aloud. Yes he is a sarcastic git and loves nothing more then dissing anything he can, but when it comes to me or his best friend, he's not that bad (take note please Slashergirl lol).

(This post was done with him threatening me if i didn't say nice things about him-ok maybe it wasn't)

That is more accurate, I suppose, just not nearly so dramatic.

 

[Caligulove]

of course not. There are plenty of guys out there who are real gentlemen and other guys who are complete assholes. I think we see the assholes more because theyre hard to miss...

I am kind of a romantic at times, though. But life is all about rolling with the punches, yet staying true to your convictions. Adapting. Gentlemen today are not like those of yesterday

 

[Soxafloppin]

This is perfectly viable logic.

That's pretty glorious.
I have had similiar things happen to me, but sort of in reverse. On the surface I'm quite grumpy and blunt, it's only when girls realise I'm nice that they are no longer interested.
