Were have all the Gentleman Gone??

Question

I was at a store and this lady with her kid in her lil carrier locked her keys in her car so she was trying to open her door with a hanger. I think that I watched about 5-6 men go by staring and not one offered to help her out. I couldn't beleive it I finally went to offer my help. My husband is still a big gentelman he always opens and closes doors .

I didn't finish when I mean gentelman i mean a guy that is curteous and will open close doors for you (a women). More Common Courtesy As I was saying my hubby still does all of this one day he was walking into a store and a female was coming out he held the door open for her she stayed surprised and said oooh i didn't know that there were still any of you left. and when ever he sees women broken down that need a tire changed or help with the car he will stop and help. And I love that about him!!!

Answer 1

Ah yeah, their are so very few good men left out their, my mom tells me that back in the 50,s and 60,s, a man never let a woman open her own door, and always pulled the chair out for her before she were to sit down, and many more things to show respect for the ladies, now days things have made a awful turnaround, and I,ll tell you why I think men are not men and what seperates the boys from the men, its all about how their parents have raised them, say for example a male child is raised in a disfunctional home, where the boy see,s a lack of respect given from dad to mom, this child will grow up disrespecting women, just as it is a fact that a child who grows up in a home where his father abuses his mother, this child will imatate what he sees his father do, another example, a boy grows up in a home where their is no dad, not a good thing, he tends to have female tendancys and issues with his sexuality, now Im not saying this happens to every male, only a certain percentage. But at the end of the day, the fact is real men are fadding fast, its almost as if its seen as ok or natural to disrespect women, and lets not forget what male children watch on t.v, I mean do you really think little kids watching I love New York or some of these really crazy reality shows are good for these kids? The breakdown of men is coming from #1 home, #2 society,#3music, yep, have you ever listened to some of the rap music where its almost cool to call women ho,s and bitches? and gangsta talk and all that crap that goes with it? So we as a society are creating weak men, men who disrespect women and think its cool to be a uneducated thug! I personally will do everything in my power to ensure that my two sons grow up and know how to treat a lady! Im teaching them already, because its my job as a parent to show them the ropes, and I pray that my sons grow up to love and honor women of all ages, colors, etc.

Answer 2

Chivalry or the code of the "knight" has been dead for a long while. First off, women seem to want that guy that is rebellious in their early year of dating. The type of guy that is an asshole; however, executes being a douche the right way. When they get older it is no longer attractive.

History repeats itself. Back in the day, aristocratic boys were sent to gentlemen school. Maybe the cycle will come back around. As for me I don't give a **** :)

Answer 3

They've all been emasculated and scared off by the feminists who accuse them of harassment if they try to approach a female.

Not all guys know how to open a car door with a hanger just because they are guys. How many women would stop to help a guy in a similar situation? I can truthful say "none", because it happened to me.

Answer 4

There are many reasons that there are so few gentlemen left, but I think the biggest reason is because a lot of them didn't get raised that way these days. It's sad too. It was a win win situation for both. Women got help with things during rough spots and men got to feel good about being gallant.

Lucky you to have found a good one. ;)

Answer 5

In the world today, the guys who passed may have suspected she was trying to break into a vehicle that she doesn't own. The police would help in that situation, but for a guy to help would mean that he might later be caught and charged with being an accessory to a crime. The woman should have called the cops and she would have got the help she needed.

Answer 6

Don't assume there are none left! There are less and less gentleman for a lot of the reasons stated above. Some of us still treat people like we would want to be treated.
Had a girlfriend that wanted to "open her own damned doors"
But then wanted special gifts etc. F her.

Answer 7

I think its got a lot to do with the society we live in today. The younger generation has been brought up different. But i think its partly females faults aswell. They use to be so desperate and innocent and needed men to help them but these days we are strong and independent and fight for equal rights. So the men can be intimidated by us and don't have the respect for us as they once did. Women use to be gods to men in the olden days.

Answer 8

good question! while became the final time a guy below 50 held a door for you and mentioned "females first!" adult men don't experience the might desire to be gents now because of the fact they do no longer experience there's a gender hollow to any extent further. in the previous females have been susceptible and there to be dealt with. Now that we are independant and "equivalent", maximum adult men have lost the ability to be curtious and gentlemanly.

Answer 9

they are still out there, in smaller numbers.
some men have no idea how to open a locked car or maybe
afraid of damaging her car in case they offered help.
your husband is a great one, good for him.
i myself would normally offer to help someone like that, but
recent surgeries would prevent me from doing so.
maybe one of the 5-6 you saw was in a similar situation.

Answer 10

Aren't gentlemen the best? My bf is a true gentlemen, and we've been going out for about a year. I personally like a guy who holds the door, or pulls out my seat. This may be considered old fashioned, but it's just manners and if there were more of them, that woman would have been helped out.
