Do you enjoy giving/receiving gentlemanly behavior? Do you expect it? What behaviors would you describe as a man acting like a gentleman towards a woman?
And for the men, especially, do you find yourself exhibiting this behavior when first trying to impress a woman but then sorta slacking off as the relationship grows?
I don't enjoy receiving gentlemanly behavior as I find it tends to come with strings attached such as the expectation of sex or for me to praise and fawn over the guy like he is some super special snowflake for something he chose to do out of his own ego.
I don't expect gentlemanly behavior my only expectation in regards to gentlemanly behavior is verbal/physical lashing out when the guy doesn't get what he wants like he thought he would by behaving gentlemanly and guys whining about how it doesn't 'work' since they're not doing it to be gentlemanly but to get something from the gal.
My husband still opens the vehicle door for me often and we have been together 10 years and married 7 years.
I don't expect it but he does it anyway, he also holds open other doors for me and others if they are around.
He stands when a woman comes to our home and greets her and will seat her as well.
If we are meeting others at a restaurant and we get there first he will do the same.
I do not expect him to do these things he just does them and has since I've known him and I have known him for 15 years but we have only been we for 10 years.

I can see how that could happen with fake gentlemen. Sorry this has happened to you. To me, there is just nothing like a man who really respects women and treats them like a gentleman. I don't expect it, but I do enjoy it and show my gratitude. I've never had a man expect something in return cause he acted respectfully around me. I wonder if younger men and boys are even being taught these skills anymore?

good manners dont cost anything. they will take you a long way, and they are both for men and women.
big emphasis on CDF on the need for more gentlemen behavior. not a peep about a need for more ladylike behavior.
strangely silent on this topic.

Sorry I didn't look thru old posts. This post wasn't intended to be a cry out for more gentlemanly behavior. In some respects I think we expect a he** of a lot out of men these days. I act like a lady. I don't need to start a thread about a need for more ladylike behavior. Are you saying you haven't seen one?

Your responses in the other topic start to make sense. Do you live in douchebag-ville or something? Why would a woman want a man that is anything *other* than a gentleman? And if a guy is faking it then he's not really a gentlemen at all. I think you should reconsider what kind of men you hang around because a real gentlemen isn't like that at all. Your hate and bitterness is seeping through.
There are lots of good men out there, but if you keep finding yourself around douchebags then you are the only common denominator.
As for me, of course! Much like how I always make sure to conduct myself in a lady-like manner.
