Why aren't men "gentlemen" anymore?

Kimmie	I know a few gentlemen in my life..but very few can be found anymore, you are right about that...I think it stems from the fact that some boys are not taught to be men when they are younger...And some value's are just not in place anymore...though I have four children, two boys; one with autism and twin daughters...I have taught and am still teaching my boys, even my girls to value and to respect everyone...... Oh and I adore a guy who opens a door for me....picks up the tab and is all around a gentlemen.....=} I would rather have a man that treated me like a lady and who had little money, average looking etc etc, than a guy who was hot, rich and treated me like..well what comes out of our backdoors....

rosie p	are you kidding?, the femdom of the world killed that, they have to be in control, I have had women get mad at me for opening a door for them, or getting up to let them have my seat. they, women, killed it. now, i hope they will be happy, now you have to put up with the lil bad boys of the world..............ENJOY.

Don Quesadia	just like there are good women and bad women there are good men and bad men... you just need to look elsewhere and pay more attention to the nice-guys.

forlorn_hope_666	what is the point in acting like a "gentleman"??? most women don't want that... women should make their minds up... :D

yaktur	Remember, everything is connected with the social "culture" we sustain....and "culture" is simply the things that everybody agrees to do. So if everybody changes and wants to do something better....then just do it!!! Let young men be gentlemen and young women be ladies. There ain't nothing wrong with that now!! :) And don't let Britneys Pears tell you how to behave like a lady, ok!! You young women probably already know how to behave like a lady - and young men already know how to behave like gentlemen. So just forget pop culture and go with what you already know is right.

joker	You are now seeing the fruits of Womens Lip. Yes it is true. There are still gentlemen but the lines have been blurred by Womens Lip so what can we expect really?

hellooooo	Just so sick of being that its the ladys turn

Å¤ango	because feminism eradicated that word.

Just a friend.	If you think that women's lib came about because men stopped being gentlemen, then you need a history lesson. Problem is women want their cake and to eat it too (like we didn't see this one coming). They want to be treated special and yet equal...you can't have both. Much of what a "gentleman" does for a woman, is the opposite of treating as equals. Sorry but you can't have both, and you personally don't get to choose at all. Women as a group have already decided to choose "equal". That being said, some of us still try our hardest to be what you think a "gentleman" should be.

jxt299	I open doors for women, almost all of them think its polite that I do but a couple of times I got yelled at for doing it. I try to be polite. It never hurts. Well except for those couple of times I got yelled at.

angryman1n	Green Day said it best. "Nice Guys Finish Last." I want the Tush. Can't be nice & get it. Sorry. Women's lib? Na, that ain't it. Women have always gone for the bad boy. Guinivere cheated on King Arthur w/ Lancelot. The ultimate bad boy. Yes, women marry nice, but don't want that in the sack. Their hubbies end up raising my kids. Nice guys finish last.

vanessaoz	over time woman have become more forceful and i dont think men know if its the right thing to do or not. it also depends how they were brought up. some still respect woman enough to do the things we like and expect but we cant have it both ways. i know my daughter would never get in a car if a man opened the door for her. its just this day and age. i still think there are gentleman out there.. they are just few and far between.

AB2k	they're still out there....just like a good woman.....they're still out there

alwayscurious	I am a woman but I do blame women's lib on what goes on today. We (not me personally) wanted to be equal and do everything a man can do, so why should they open doors for us or help us with our coats, etc. WE are equal so we should be able to do it. Although there are still old fashioned gentlemen out there, I married one. He opens my car door for me everytime, even if I'm driving. He is sweet, kind and considerate of me. So, don't give up, you just have to search thru the toads to find the prince.

xtraudinair	your not meeting the right guys

Violet	Because women aren't "ladies" anymore. If you want men to be gentlemen you need to be willing to act lady-like as well.

summer	coz youth nowadays are too proud to even ask there parents how to act when there in that situation...

lollipop	Women don't expect it or require it, so men don't do it ...

Heads up!	I`m a gentlemen with ladies.

Peanut Butter	I think it is woman's lib. My theory is, men today were brought up by woman who seeked women's lib. Therefore, they no longer were taught (or observed their fathers) to open car doors, pick up the bill, support their family, etc.

daylin_j	It is not the man you want if he is not stepping up and asking you on a date, there are still good men out there just takes awhile to find one..

PRLadyDama	My boyfriend is a gentleman, and super romantic, and I love it!!! All the man I've dated have been gentlemen too. I simply won't date a man that is not a gentleman. I'm sure there are many gentlemen out there, we women just need to give them more opportunities to treat us like ladies.

hot_tamale962	there are no ladies any more. all the women I see act like sl uts and the men are their pimps. its sick but thats it.

mouse	men are not gentlemen anymore because they drink too much don't pay attention to women and are out most of the time

hailey a	because they try to act all ganster and stuff they arnt the same anymore
