Where are all the gentlemen? Ladies we were fooled!!!

[Capricorn]

Ok I know it probably sounds crazy, I really don't care anyway, I think back to when I was young and how my friends and I watched all the beautiful fairy tales and secretly dreamed one day of meeting our own knight in shining armor to be with and "live happily ever after". Back to reality with a rude awakening. I'm not posting this to bash men, I just want to make that clear. Anyway do "gentlemen exist"? I know not all women are saints but I know many women that are good people,good mothers,loyal wives that have morals. Anyway I rarely ever come across any guy that's decent. Basically every man I know even the men in my family either drinks or does drugs,cheats on they're wife or girlfriend, is obsessed with porn and perfect/fake lookin women, is materialistic, or just has some major issue!!! I apolgize if I offended anyone but I'm just sharing my personal experience and I would actually like to hear some good stories about good men, it might give me some hope.

I think I'm pretty gentle. I don't even kill bugs. And I'm a man. Does that help?

[Capricorn]

Yes that is sweet. I don't like to kill bugs either but I don't want them in my house! Lol. My garage is infested with wasps I think I'm gonna have to kill them!

[johan]

Sometimes you just have to kill them. Some bugs are not to be trifled with.

The feminist movement killed all the gentlemen. Women kill me when they wonder why chivalry and romance are dead in today's men. I am complete and total gentlemen to my wife and I would never mistreat her but for other women I let the door slam in their face and I sit there and watch while they do heavy lifting.

Then I'm sorry, Wog but I don't care how good you are to your wife, by my definition, you're no gentleman.

 

I can't imagine being married to a man who treats other women like that. That's despicable!

I felt horribly guilty after spraying a wasp last Tuesday. I sprayed it and it wnet into what I thought were death throws for about ten minues. Then it stopped and I put it in the ash tray.

 

When I came back several hours later is was still moving its legs

Why? If women are so independent and don't need men for anything they can do their own lifting. It's time that men stop doing these things and start letting women be independent.

It has nothing to do with allowing women the right to be independent. There's a delight in punishing all women for the transgressions of your mother. How logical is that?

In spite of this, you're clearly a gentleman. At least when it comes to bugs. So that should help Capricorn.

Wow. Nice. I'd be ashamed and embarrassed to be married to a man with that mentality.

 

Who ever said women don't need men for anything? Are those women whom you let the door slam in their faces feminists? Do they have it tattoed on their forehead or something? Wow. Does your wife see you when you don't hold the door? I'd be mortified if I were her. That's just rude. I don't even know what that has to do with gender. I hold the door for whoever is right behind me...man or woman.

you can be an independent gal and still want a man to hold your door or make you feel important at the end of the day. i think the same goes for women as far as holding their man in high regard.

 

by the way - i am considered a girly girl - but i can fix plumbing, electrical and know a lot about construction.

 

my theory is - you be good to others and they will be good to you.

I need my H to squish the spiders that sit on the ceiling and stare down at me.

The big phrase of the 70s feminist movement was a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. Today men my age and younger are dealing with the daughters of these women so that mentality is very prevelant. Women always talk about how disposable and usesless men are so they can do their own lifting and hold open their own doors. I have heard from men who remember the 70s that men were getting spat upon for gentlemenly behavior back then so women have no right to ask where all the gentlemen are.

I see the the south has taken the last drop of NYC out of you.

 

What a damned shame

[underpants]

I was just thinking how most men down here are gentlemen. Some are crazy redneck jerks, but they will hold the door open for you.

 

Maybe I should look locally. I have always been attracted to men from far away or just someplace else. However, really I see gentlemenly things every day.

 

Gosh, our children will talk funny though?

No. My H has a thick Southern accent but our son doesn't at all. And of course, I don't. Yes, look locally. Southern men rule!

[Trialbyfire]

You do have a slight southern accent. I'll bet your son does too.

[Touche]

Why does everyone tell me that? I don't! I didn't grow up here. And our son doesn't. I don't hear it anyway. He doesn't sound like the people from around here. Really. Now my H yes. He certainly has the accent.

Every American I've ever spoken to has pretty much told me I have a Canadian accent. I don't hear it either.

 

I'm laughing at you.

Of course you don't.

Ok, laugh all you want! As for you, I've only noticed your accent with certain words. Otherwise you don't really have any accent..just like me.

[Krytellan]

Basically every man I know even the men in my family either drinks or does drugs,cheats on they're wife or girlfriend, is obsessed with porn and perfect/fake lookin women, is materialistic, or just has some major issue!!!

 

Well damn. With this list of standards I hope you enjoy your loneliness. Are you telling me I'm no gentleman because I drink? Have fun with that.

[underpants]

Yaaaawwwwlllll,

 

I think sometimes when you are in an area you unconsciously pick up on the accent. You probably don't have a thick one, however you might have incorporated some dialect in a few words. My Dad's wife is from NY and every once in a while she says something and I am like 'where did that come from'.

 

A girlfriend of mine becomes more southern the more she drinks. She gets that fast, high pitch southern twang after a few. I have more of a drawl and can stretch a word out for days, even adding syllables where they do not normally exist. Somebody once asked me if I was from England. (what the heck?) I was complimented but very confused.

 

TBF, we have ways of making you pronounce the letter E and O.

[Trialbyfire]

unders, you can't make me... I like the letter U. It enhances my textual diction.
