12 Things A Real Gentleman Does Differently!

Three-piece suits, pocket squares and fob watches may be coming back into fashion, but that doesn’t mean the guys wearing them can be classified as ‘gentlemen.’ Today we’re going to have a look at the qualities a true gentleman possesses. I’d also like to point out this is just as relevant to women, because essentially being a gentleman means not being a jerk to people, and there are plenty of girls who can apply this philosophy to their every day lives. So when you’re reading these points, be aware I’m talking to both genders. Also, know you won’t be finding any rubbish about dress sense, wine knowledge or vocabulary here.

1. They’re Respectful…To Everyone!

2. They Support Their Partners’ Dreams And Goals!

3. They’re Honest And Open!

4. They Don’t Abandon Their Partner When Things Get Tough!

5. They’re Polite – To Everyone!

6. They Keep Doors Open For Everyone!

7. They Compromise!

8. They’re Feminists....A real gentleman is aware feminism is the belief that both men and women deserve to be treated equally, and they will have absolutely no problem with that!

9. They Help People!

10. They Put Family First!

11. Their Actions Speak Louder Than Words!

12. They Don’t Claim to Be ‘Nice Guys’!


There you have it! How many people on here would say they qualify as a "Real Gentleman"? If so, speak up!

I'll be first to say I am a Real Gentleman!

wave I am only good for 10 out of 12. Still though, they
would not kick me out of bed for eating crackers.laugh
Nope. Cant lay claim to being a gentleman, that is not while being a businessman. Too much stress.uh oh
Hi Pedal,

Which 10? Just the numbers.wine
If I hit a few of those every day, maybe I can clime the title once a month?confused laugh thumbs up
wave #1 and #5 I need to work on.thumbs up
Hi Luke,

Really! I would think being a gentleman would play an important part in being a businessman! Maybe I am wrong. When I was a businessman, before I retired, I always tried being a gentleman!handshake
Hi Viking,

We all need to start somewhere!cheers
That depends entirely on the type of business your are conducting. Some folk will kill you (or their own brother) for a cigarette. handshake
Luke, that is very true unfortunately!
I would like to meet a gentleman. They sound nice.
Hi Biff,

There are lots of nice gentlemen and ladies on CS! thumbs up
Well, I'll take your word for it. But there wouldn't be much call for websites like CS, apart from those widowed, if #4 was more in play.

Ignore that comment. I'm grouchy and tired!
I have met some real gents on CS.

Outward appearance definitely does not make one a gent.
Molly,

I agree with you. It is not what a man looks like....it is what is in his heart!thumbs up
