you got that right man, not every women deserve a gentleman.

where I am at it seems men are like little boys, or women have an extra child. it's sickening to be enjoying a meal and hear some woman command her husband like he is a 2 year old. tell him how to eat, sit, act, etc. and it's the norm out here.

I did walk past them and asked the guy, "would you like a bark collar?" he looked at me funny and his wife was mustering up some attitude. I just looked at him and said before walking away, "you are a shame to men everywhere." and followed with, "just look around this place, trading up from her would be way too easy."

makes me sick to see women think they own a man or vice versa.

I get attitude anyways around here. I hear ladies tell me, "you are no man." I reply back, "a real man doesn't wear a leash and put up with broads like you."

society is messed up!!

This is so true. I've had they same experience. Women say they want a gentleman but would go for a man who doesn't treat them right especially if he has money

of course there's exceptions... but with that being said, how many broke, jobless with no car guys have you dated?

I agree about money matters..To some women.
Every time one of those who should pay thread pops up it's always
"the gentleman pays"..Makes me mad.
A date where you sitting on the porch looking at the stars sounds like my kind of date as well, but to most women it would mean I am too cheap too broke to take her out to a fancy place.

Hey, if a woman is willing to do the work to make a quality relationship, then I would be delighted to do the work for financial security or resources.

I think everyone should try to be nice. I hold doors open for people and I've seen a lot of others do the same thing. We are in the south so that might be the difference. I've had people be rude to me but I don't let it change who I am. I've gave up my seat to elderly people and I've had people give me their seat when I was pregnant. I even had a guy offer to pump my gas. I think it's one of the benefits of living in a small town.

I fully agree. My late granny always used to say, I should be nice and respectful to the Elderly, coz one day, I would be old myself.

what does taking a woman to a fancy place have to do with anything? If that's how she defines love or a relationship, then she's a gold digger...

Got to wonder about men who call themselves gentlemen.

I’m a complete a$$ hole.

I hurts my head to see so much animosity towards women and what men think they want.

It is your own opinions that keep you single. Growing upt we are told "you get what you give" and that is how it should be. Guys are saying things like "women want money/inly care about money" .. well let me tell you darling, that isnt a woman you are pursuing, that is a child. Women say itn arent gentlemen, again that isnt a man but a child.

Anf to the guy whi said "when was the last time you date a broke guy with no car" ... that isnt a man either. A man takes care of his life first before trying to bring a woman into it.

Dont get me started on appearance and what is actively persued in that respect ...

you're just rationalizing... You don't date them because they're broke...you just said so... So I'm wrong and you're right, even tho we said the same thing?...

actually, I dont date at all. Mostly because I am broke (so to say), but I have my own car and a job ... live in a house that is not my parents. In other words, I have my chit together and my priorities in check.

I refuse to go on a date I cannot pay for myself

Women are awesome, but dating them has NOT been very awesome in my experience.

some women are awesome, some dates are awesome...to bad they rarely coincide...

..From our life experiences we view the whole world when it is just a very small piece of the whole...

thank you for the flowers, And yes I can respond Sir: None.

lol, not my thing...

I realize that dating is the only thing you care about, but I care about the community and I would rather spend my money on schools and land use planning than on you.

Gender roles are being forced into extinction.

Men and women were separate.
They had their unique roles.

Gentlemanly behavior, or lady like behavior were valued as traits as each were a representative of their role.

Little different than a professional facade.
Little different than going to the grocery store and the clerk saying "hi, how are you today, ma'am/sir."

They don't care. They don't care about you or how you're doing.
They are representing their company. They are fulfilling their role.
Their behavior facilitates the exchange, fulfills the purpose of what they're doing there in a controlled and safe way.


With a lack of gender roles, a lack of separation, everyone is the same. No one is a representative of a higher ideal.
Purpose is whatever the individual subjectively chooses at any point in their life and is want to change according to need.
Needs which are now defined by a desire for independence and self determined security in an environment where everyone is directly competing with everyone else for what fulfills those needs, as opposed to a means of collaboration/cooperation through role fulfillment.
