8 Attributes Of A Real Gentleman by Jenny1010(f): 6:35pm On Sep 05, 2015
Most Nigerians believe that all it takes to become a gentleman is cute suit, a bold tie and a well polished shoe. This is a wrong assertion. What determines if you are a gentleman has nothing to do with type of attire you are putting on; you can wear any attire and still be a gentleman. What makes you a gentleman is how you carry yourself ,especially around women.

To a woman, there's nothing better than being in the presence of a man who relishes in his masculinity in a way that doesn't involve the obvious chest-pounding and cat-calling, but the confident reserve of a gentleman.

Below are some attributes of a gentleman.


1. A gentleman opens doors for a lady:
He opens doors not because he feels a woman is weak, but because he is strong enough to show that he cares about the comfort of those around him.

2. A gentleman maintains self-control:
He does not insist when his lady says "No" as regards to sex. He understands and can wait till whenever she is ready. He doesn't allow his joystick to control his life. He's willing to wait and work for this woman, to fight for her and will gladly hold out for her as long as he needs to.

3. He always listens, first:
Being a gentleman is not about constantly speaking your mind, but knowing when to speak, and, most importantly, when to shut up and listen to your lady.

4. A gentleman is punctual:
There is no phrase as "African time" in a gentleman's dictionary. He makes plans for traffic and other unforeseen event. He respects a woman's time. And if she late, he doesn't need to draw attention to it. A gentleman never keep a woman waiting.

5. A gentleman helps her to be seated:
He pulls the chair out for her, and as her knees bend to sit,he gently push the chair in with both hands on the back rest. "So sweet"

6. Gentlemen are not "Fake Nice Guys" aka FNG :
Don't get me wrong, the phrase "Fake Nice Guys" as used here classifies those dudes who claim to respect women and to be super nice and yet complain when girls don’t immediately drop their pants for them. Usually this is because the girl in question didn’t react favorably to unsolicited poetry, declarations of love, expensive presents or referring to her as “My world” within the two weeks of meeting. This is usually followed by calling her ‘slut’ or other hideous name and whining about being ‘friend zoned’ again. These guys are in no way nice and are certainly not gentlemen; regardless of how many doors they open.
Sure, a gentleman might want to get into a woman's bed, but he's more interested in getting into her head as experience has shown him that seduction is a delicate dance and the man who resides in her mind has conquered every other part of her.

7. A gentleman walks closest to the car lane:
yes! When walking with a lady, a gentleman walk closer to the car lane. The idea being, of course, to protect her from traffic, debris, puddles and other urban calamities.

8. A gentleman never hits a woman:
Yes ! No matter what. There's no excuse. There's no possible argument to the contrary. There's no "what if?" and there's no qualifier. Gentlemen don't hit women. Ever. Full-stop!


The above are not all , there are many more. But let me stop here for now. You can add more if you like.

My dear God bless you for this. My problem with many Naija girls of nowadays is that they watch movies on dstv or (for the ones that travel abroad) observe oyinbo behavior and begin to daydream. Op pls wake! Na Naija we dey oh. If you want all these attributes in your man, then go and snag yourself a p'ussy whipped white guy. Our Nigerian culture dictates that a man must be strong, and he grows up with this belief. Does that sound like someone that will be running around opening doors for women and pulling out chairs for them?? Most of our cultures still approve of men having multiple wives, so I'm sure those men have better things to do with their time. As for the sex, if you're not ready then why are you in a relationship? Is it for free popcorn and ice cream. Chai, I can't stop laughing grin
Hope your father chases your mother up and down woman-wrappering her in the name of being a gentleman tongue

Last I checked. I didn't make a verbose comment,It was a succintive comment and can be deduce by anybody.

Go through it and see if the essential thing you pointed out,aren't in it.

Miss. Study has shown that nigeria has the most loving,protecting and responsible men in africa(google is your friend).

What the _fuck do you girls want?. To crawl and lick your feet just to express love.

Only a dunce does that. The west that does that,what have they achieved from it?.

Aren't they an endangered specie with the highest divorce rate.

Please spare me dat story
