I am am, excuse the bragging, very courteous. I always open the door for just about everyone including ugly 40 year old French men and their squeeky pets, I don't lose my temper and I don't swear in public. When I realised that being a romantic gentleman is a big hit with the ladies, I also realised that being a gentleman is a hit with everyone else.
Seriously, watch the look on her face when you walk around the car just to open her door. Those eyes say you'll get lucky tonight.

I consider myself somewhat of a gentleman, except when I do nice things, the girls usually laugh or say something about how women are just as equal as men, and that she could've done it herself.
I wasn't aware it was such a big deal to hold a door for someone.

Don't forget the cigar.Kalezian said:wearing a top-hat does not make you a gentleman, you also need the tuxedo, monicle, and scotch glass!Furburt said:All the gentlemen are not dead, I mean, look at my profile pic!
I don't know, I try to be gentlemanly towards women but it always feels like I'm being sexist.
you kids these days...... I swear..........
This is why I qualify myself of higher worth than most men in my city seeing as almost all of them in my town are exactly like what you described.
Womanizing, rude, thoughtless, unintelligent, self righteous, pigs who don't care about anyone but themselves.
That being said, I don't think I'm better than everyone else, just the majority of the men in my town.

i agree with this statement.ostro-whiskey said:
the gentleman inside me is hidden in rough edges and profanity.
So, a question for you guys:
Two people are walking towards two doors, one is a pleasant looking female and the other is a pleasant looking male. You can hold up the door for one of them, or neither. Which one would you choose?
This is a question of equality. And in my opinion, being a "chivalrous gentleman" seems to mean putting females before males, that comes out of some weird old fantasy that women are less capable then males. C'mon guys, girls are equally as capable as men, even if not more, so why go out of your ways to "help 'em out?"
It's just as bad as objectifying people, well, it IS objectifying people.
Personally I wouldn't open the doors for any of them.

Its because chicks respond differently to such behaviour than men. Chicks are more social beings, guys are more introverted by nature. Just look at how they entertain themselves, the majority of chicks prefer to socialize for enjoyment, the majority of guys focus on things like electronics or cars.Nietz said:
The same goes for accepting compliments, prior to the metrosexual immasculated ass phase, men would not be complimented on their physical appearance as woman would, because they dont respond the same way.
As such, it had a purpose, and the ladies responded well to it.
Which is closer?Nietz said:
OT:
I try not to worry about who I offend by what I do as long as I can justify it to myself. I gave up on being that sensitive "Nice" guy awhile ago because it wasn't me. I hold the door for people and am unashamedly polite in public because it may earn me something but in private I speak my mind to anyone with me about most things.
"more so"? yeah right. the only reason they might be considered equal to men is because of the talents they have that men cant do.Nietz said:
to answer your question, i'd open the door for neither.
Both IRL, but since I've been cornered by your choice limitations neither, as it's the equal choice. I guess you could argue opening the door for both implies I'm submitting myself or that I'm making myself superior by saying they can't open the door for themselves, but it's just something I do out of nicety and tradition. And hey, it doesn't harm anyone.Nietz said:
Chivalry-Is dead and thank Odin. Women are equal. Not Goddesses, not princesses. They can do their own shit. If you choose to go by the concept, may luck send you a dependent woman. It all varies, some women like the adoration, some like to submit. Some like both, and try to have their cake and eat it too by having the passive aggressive boy putting them on a pedestal waiting to date them. If you don't like that they're doing that, leave and stop being the leg that they stand on.
Gentleman-What I'm hearing here is really more like "White knight". The concept of a gentleman changes over time and there are many versions depending on different perspectives even in one time period. Being a gentleman doesn't mean you get pussy, it means you have principle. What principles? Again, a subjective definition, but it's about the journey not the end.
I hold doors open for people, I use courteous phrases when I respect a person but I don't care too much if others fail to do these things.I don't focus on women.I don't pretend to care when I don't, but if I do care I'll help out.Does this make me a gentleman?
if anyone feels insulted that you open a door for then, spit in there face. thatll make them feel better.
Well that's messed up. Perhaps she did intend to pay for the dinner but the fact that the guy called her stupid behind her back AND to another person is just messed up. Sheesh why the hell do guys like that actually get girls while other guys like me who are always courteous and respectful don't? Not saying that I am jealous and wish someone would pick me, but I will always believe someone who is always respectful deserves to have a partner.
