The gentleman's
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of
propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him
to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. -

A gentleman is a man who does not cower to outside forces, he is strong and true to his word. He does the right thing, even if the right thing does not seem the popular thing. His
strength of character is apparent in his presence as he enters a room and exerts not arrogance, but confidence that is contagious to others.
A true gentleman never lacks a friend, because
a true gentleman is a friend. The word 'Gentle' in gentleman is not in the sense that he is soft, but that with his confidence and aura, others might feel comfortable in his presence.
Example:
A man is
a boy who has come of
age; a gentleman is a man
who left that boy behind.

Something very rare today. A man who is respectful and considerate of those around him. Acts politely. Treats women with respect. Open doors for them, pulls out
chairs, and is classy. What more guys should be. Because regardless of what your
testosterone driven buddies tell you, treating people with respect and being polite doesn't make you a "fag" or "
wimp" or whatever. It makes you a good person and will really benefit you in life.
Example:
When we went out, he opened
doors for me, offered me his coat, and brought me flowers. He was such a gentleman.
Tom:
Hello sir, it's
nice to meet you.
Man: Same to you.
Other person: Tom is nice young gentleman

A polite, well-dressed, well-spoken, educated and scholarly man (Sorry ladies, but being a male is required.). He speaks with passion, and will only resort to violence when it is the final option. He fights with honor, and accepts victory or defeat graciously. A man that some will
aspire to, and some will
despise. Has a high sense of honor, and will not take an insult to it
lightly.
Example:
The sharp-dressed man walked down
the avenue cheerfully, moving out of
people's ways, and helping them if they
tripped. He appeared to be a proper gentleman

good will toward others and practices the common courtesies of

the last resort.
Example:

eleven sir. I give you
my word as a gentleman.

Something that is very rare in
today's world. A gentleman is a man (yes,
folks, a MAN) who will normally open
doors for a lady and generally be quite nice and polite.

subservience.

chastise men who aren't conforming to their
patriarchal idea of how men should act.

ribeye steak.After the date,Kelly says "thanks for the meal" in a flat
unenthusiastic tone.
