He is a man with social manners and grace.

Rudebwoy:

THERE IS NO GENTLEMAN. A gentleman is someone whose social ills have not been discovered. Now tell me, who doesn't have a social ill? We all have social ills, so there's no gentleman.

^^ and every so often this may happen

What about in the bedroom.  Should he also take off and fold his clothes like a gentleman, or pounce like a tiger?   I reckon most women faced with a choice would choose the latter.

A gentleman is a man who recognizes his strength and weaknesses. He understands himself and treats others the way he wants to be treated - GOOD. He is not perfect mind you - but he is upstanding. He shows respect to ALL indiscriminately but is no nonsense. He is not about playing games or using people because he is an "up front guy". Humble, caring and true to himself - all from the HEART. That's a gentlemen.  cool

I guess it is apt to ask the age-old question again: Do girls really want gentlemen or is it all talk? Seems to the badt guys fare better with the ladies generally.
Re: What Do You Think Makes A Guy A Gentleman? by doeeyed: 2:30am On Dec 31, 2011
Principled, Upstanding, courteous,enlightened, great composure.
Knows how to treat a woman good.

It takes a gentlewoman, a lady not a tramp, to appreciate a gentleman.
Yes to the question, women like g'men if they are cut from the same cloth; all about compatibility isn't it


Pull open the doors, pull out the chair, take your coat off and have a quick whiff of his nice tasteful aftershave.
Let the 'evening' begin.  cool
Re: What Do You Think Makes A Guy A Gentleman? by AreaFada2: 7:14am On Dec 31, 2011
The gentleman thing doesn't cut it these days.

Modern women are way too suspicious , agressive and competitive to appreciate any gentlemanly behaviour. Women are much less lady-like today.

Only very few women (mostly elderly ones) ever say "thank you" when you hold door open for them and let them go first.

These days I generally behave extra gentlemanly to elderly ladies and civil to others.
Most younger ones don't deserve any overly gentlemanly thingy (except Mrs of course).

Being a gentleman today is about maintaining the standard of behaviour that I would expect from others and I won't let it be defined by what women think.

Speaking of Gentlemen I recently heard a joke that if a Nigerian man opens the car door for a woman, it's because there is something wrong with the door.

Happy New Year. Be good to each other.

You can't be gentle with win the heart of a Nigerian girl. There is no gentleman in the dictionary of a Nigerian girl. Anyway a gentleman is that person that allows his action to do the talking while he looks silently.
NB: When you hurt someone and he smiles in return, know that you are in for a bigger shhiit
Re: What Do You Think Makes A Guy A Gentleman? by legba1(m): 10:53am On Dec 31, 2011
a gentleman to an average naija girl/woman is a mumu,a maga.

Re: What Do You Think Makes A Guy A Gentleman? by doeeyed: 11:14am On Dec 31, 2011
I did mention that it takes a lady to recognise a g'man, no use casting ur pearls before swine.

Mugu or maga, a g'man will be seen as one and respected as one.

How many times have we heard pple being described as the perfect g'men years or decades later.
It's a nice aroma that transcends time.

IMO,what makes a guy a gentleman is his charisma and d way he comports himself. Been considerate, good-natured, courteous, polite well-mannered, less talkative, soft-spoken, neat, approachable, benevolent are also attributes dat can make a guy a gentleman. Unfortunately, we don't have more of gentlemen in 9ja these days. Most guys eyes just dey shook!

@Tellwisdom, well, u just made a very hasty assumption. Nw,a gentleman won't act d way u did. I don't nid 2 date every1 around my environment 2 knw who's a gentleman and who's not. I ain't a groupie. But, do i expect u 2 believe me? Hell nooooo, u cud just kip your assumptions 2 urself. Who cares?

Think of a man who does not involve in fights/nags but
knows how to defend himself thru other means.
Think of a man who treats both men and women right.
Think of a man with high moral character

nah, i haven't lost my mind @ all. I'm sane and very sound. Well, lemme get sth straight across 2 ya. I'm a very realistic person though most ladies shy away 4rm simple facts. There are so many wolves in sheep clothing these days. Very few guys have genuine intentions 4 ladies. I don't nid 2 convince u on dis cos ur impression bout me doesn't count!

A gentleman is someone wit the gift of love,love for humanity & patience, two most important qualities. Thoughtfulness for other,slow to anger,a peacemaker. Shows high sense of common decency.
