Where did all the gentlemen go?

It seems like men's values, honor, integrity, chivalry have all become alien concepts to today's young men. That leaves me asking WHERE DID ALL THE GENTLEMEN GO??? Are they all ancient now, or what?

    naw baby gurl there still some here even though it maybe fewer than you would like to be but were still here.if there's any one to blame start with the Fathers that teach thier son or daughters values they need to succeed in life wether it's job/relationship wise. Alot of people want to blame shiat like BET, or Movies, Rappers, and so on what we forget is these things are entertainment that's all...at the end of the day you have to bring yourself back to reality. Gentlemen are still alive baby gurl, sometimes it takes a good woman to teach a good man on how to to be a better husband or boyfriend...which leads me to woman yeah it yall females fault too, for accepting the bullshiat things some of these men do to yall, see other guys watch and talk see us men do listen, when we need too,...so when someone here's that this gurl is going through some BS, others guys feel she like to be treated like that...Now you got some nice tryn shiat that's not his profile but he figures the other guy is doing it and it's working for him...why not..I'm not saying it's right...So it's both Females and Males that have worked together to get that gentleman, or get that good gurl...and nex tyme Boo dont settle for nothing than the best, especially if your giving 100% find a man that's going to give the same 100%..aight good Luk, on that gentlemen search..Holla at ya Boi...

    Good question! When was the last time a man under 50 held a door for you and said "ladies first!"

    Men don't feel the need to be gentlemen now because they don't feel there is a gender gap any more. In the past women were weak and there to be taken care of. Now that we're independant and "equal", most men have lost the ability to be curtious and gentlemanly.

    You know i miss that in men!!! I am finding more and more men asking too much from women and not taking pride in them selves. The men i have been around dont care to be gentlemen they are crude and rude and when u ask why they are being like that they say well u (women) thought they were as good as men so they dont even try to be gentlemen! what a shame huh?

    I think they still exist. You just have to look harder to find them because they are over shadowed by the loud and obnoxious men who only want what they want including all the attention. Hopefully in the future we will see a trend back to values that less about what can I get for me and what do I deserve and what does the world owe me.

    Would you consider a 38yo ancient? I feel i am one of the last of a dying breed of Men that try not to swear in front of women, hold the door open, and light their smoke.

    They are around just as much as the ladies.

    Man hurts a girl the girl turns wild. Girl hurts man he becomes a dog. We are all really good, hurt people, the right person will bring that out in a REAL man/woman.

    Gentleman clubs!

    Nah, you can meet a great person at a bar, or any where, you just have to know when some one is fliting with you.

    the dude selling you something, or the guy walking down the street, go for it!

    They got pushed six feet under when the women they foolishly placed upon their marble pillar of chivalry pushed it right on top of them.

    I'm a gentleman, and I'm chronicly single and not getting laid. So look in the mirror princess, you like jerks like the rest of you biotches.

    I'm not bitter, I just really need a little action to set myself right.

    Blame the feminist movement...it convinced most women that they didn't need masculine men, and convinced men that enbracing your "feminine side" was progressive and intelligent. Now women are bitching about how men are more girlie than they are. Reap what you sow, babe.
