Is being a gentleman really out of fasion?

All women want a gentleman. The catch 22 is that they don't want a pushover either. So be polite and kind, but not a wuss. I think all women think they want a bad boy or an ass, but when it comes down it, a woman wants someone who treats her well, stands up for himself and can talk about his feelings...

Okay, maybe not all women, so let me re-phrase, I want someone with the above qualities... Hope this helps somewhat...

Being a gentleman is ALWAYS classy. I simply thought they were out of production.

I actually met one recently, and he is truly a class act. He's very mannerly, intelligent, well-spoken as well as outspoken, respectful and considerate. I was so amazed to be in the presence of what I had thought was an extinct being, I commented that most other men would have demonstrated by actions or words some inappropriate behavior by that time. His response was: "I don't want to say anything that would offend you. I enjoy talking to you and don't want to say anything that would make you want to stop talking to me." {or something really close to that} When I came to (clearly I had fainted), I realized how very rare this man was.

OP, just be yourself. Your behavior will set you apart from the rest of the pack for some very fortunate female, and she'll appreciate it. Good luck!

Nope!
A man who is a gentleman is a wonderful way to show that he has respect for women. Treat others how you want to be treated...
Hopefully, she'll be a lady, and not a crazy psycho back..

Honestly, if you're trying to date women your own age, you might want to mention straight out that you are a gentleman because reality is, most of us just aren't used to meeting many so guys like you scare us!! Then we have to try to figure out your angle....meanwhile, we miss out on the really nice guys!

If only you guys would learn to communicate better!

Op it's never old fashioned for a guy to be a gentleman. It's actually quite refreshing to be treated well by a man. There's not alot of nice gentlemen left.
The bad boy may be appealing at first. But it gets old real fast. Especially when you are older and can really appreciate a decent man coming into your life.
When I first started dating, i went for the hot young bad boy types. Then I got tired of their childish games. The older guys tend to take women more seriously. But not all of them. There are a few older men who have been hurt by an ex wife or gf. They don't trust too easily.
Op just be yourself. Never try to be someone you're not, just to impress a woman. It doesn't work.
Good luck!!

I prefer men who actually know what it means to be a gentleman.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting one in a long time, but I hope to once again.

I have never gone for the 'bad boy' crap. I like men who are nice, well adjusted and know how to show common decency.

I dont think it is out of fashion at all...but some are just not raised to behave that way, or to appreciate it when they see it.
