The last respectable date Most ladies went to was prom or Leavers party.
The last time, boys behaved like gentlemen.
Nowadays we are few gentlemen left, In fact we are facing extinction. The United Nations should gazette us an endangered species.

I think there are a lot of men with morals in my age bracket.
Most of my competition grew up with manners and a strong dose of respect.
There are a select few that treat women like merchandise but they are few and far between.

However, as the age brackets get younger there are more men that have problems treating women or anyone with respect.
These men are thinking with lust for sex and it shows.
I imagine as they grow older they will gain wisdom and respect for a woman.
Some may not but a lot of them will because the intelligence levels are higher than average.

Then you have the very young, who are still trying to figure out how to get laid or even be in a relationship with a woman.
They look at the behavior of the middle group as examples of what to do.
The men in my age group are considered old and unlike some other countries, the new world does not respect old people.

The wisdom that is gained is thru trial and error which means the young group will mess up more than the older groups.

Plus you have the condition that older women grew up under different morals about sex than the younger groups.
The youngest being most educated about sex and relationships.
But the oldest groups have gained more life wisdom.

Gentlemen mean nothing to women now. If you don't have the appearance,nothing else matters. And for your kind information, beauty standards are getting higher with every passing day.
I can tell you a story of myself. Sometime ago, I was sitting in a metro when I saw a struggling pregnant woman standing next to me. Just out of compassion, I gave my seat to her. After sometime when I was looking in other direction, the sit next to her became empty but she hurriedly placed her bag over it so that I cannot sit. Sometimes later, when a good looking guy came over there looking for a seat she took the bag and gave the seat to that guy to sit. When she noticed that I was seeing all her actions, she just shook her head and ignored me. I used to be gentle and kind for so long, but after getting nothing in return whatsoever I've decided to not help anyone in the future, especially females.

On the news this morning it showed a policeman punching a young mother repeatedly in the face. She was 19 and had an open container but passed the breathalyzer. Her 15 month old witnesses the beating and was screaming. She wasn't a big person and the two cops could have easily put her in handcuffs. The policeman needs to be taken outback by a group of men and beat. The video man me sick to my stomach.

that's just wrong... Money matters most now...to women anyway

Some who were gentlemen have changed their attitude thanks to what they have gone through from women. It may be called "baggage" but after you have been taken advantage of many times, you develop a thick skin and a negative attitude. It now takes a woman who can demonstrate her honesty and sincerity to get any type of gentlemanly behavior from him. A woman who isn't willing to demonstrate her respect for a man will not find a gentleman in her future.

That's 100% true.

It does when they get serious in their lives. They're so badly after rich men to betabux them then. LOL

There are plenty of women that are financially independent, even right here in the forums.
There are also plenty of women that are emotionally stable, even right here in the forums.

pretty much the bottom line here... We can blame everyone for everything, but until we change ourselves it's all pointless

It is a false statement and I disagree.

Whilst I completely disagree with the premise
of "nice guy/nice gal" threads...

I do believe people in general,
should treat each other better.

Not so fast..I behaved like a complete gentleman just yesterday...

I pushed in her stool before leaving...

With all the crap that I've been through with women, I'm still a gentleman to every woman I meet. I've never been mean to one in my life. But, at the same time, I don't "see" them like I once did. I've been lied to so much that I pay attention to everything that comes out of there mouths. I may not "call" them out on everything. But I've learned to put it in the "Rolodex" of my mind. Just in case I need to remember it later. Because Most people tell on themselves. You just have to be listening.

I don't want a woman to demonstrate anything to me. Just be themselves. Time will tell.

It’s true that I have never since gotten that dressed up for an evening out, been given a corsage and escorted into a glittering gala like some kind of precious princess. But none of that makes a date a gentleman. It simply means he can act a part. Which my prom date couldn’t pull off for a minute. Mr octopus hands was drunk before the after party even started and had a hotel key in his jacket pocket.

I’ve had better dates sitting on a porch swing watching the stars with someone who cared enough about my thoughts to ask me what I was thinking.

Sounds like my kind of date. Its dates like these that you remember forever.

Exactly.

I have been on several respectable dates with gentlemen. I know there are men out there who are nice.

I have good activity partner now. Very nice gentleman. And I am older and know how to meet them.

I'll be a gentleman cause i was raised by one and I'll be always a one

Unfortunately a considerable proportion of users (females) trying to hook up are immature, illiterate, and chose to be clueless bumpkins.
So it is difficult to weed put legitimate relationship seekers from the bimbos trying to find one nighters, or a sugar daddy.

It is what it is, either get with the program or play their games.
It is your life you're living.
