In this day in time it seems that anywhere you look you can see relationships and couples. Both good and bad. But the majority of relationships involving people below the age of about 30 fail. Why is this? If you look at history and the marriages of our grandparents and greatgrandparents, you will see a good majority of success. I believe that the age of the gentleman has slowly faded away over the past few generations and now we can see all these guys that think it’s fun to play with girls’ hearts. The age of “swag” instead of class. Condoms instead than flowers. Guys nowadays dont understand the little intricacies that make all the difference when treating a woman. Holding the door, Opening the car door for her, pulling out her seat for her at dinner, and even standing between her and the street when walking on the sidewalk. You may ask why is this important. But the reason our ancestoral men were taught these things was not to just make girls feel special. Sure that is part of it because a true gentleman makes his woman feel like a queen. But the real reason was to engrain in men’s minds that they were held to a higher standard. Get lazy and you dont deserve a woman and the woman would hold a man accountable too. But nowadays we as men have gotten lazy and women believe that this new age man is how it is supposed to be. That it’s normal and what they deserve. Why does this generation of women deserve substantially less of a gentleman than others before them? They dont. So men.. When you take a girl out on a date. Be a gentleman. Look up some characteristics if you dont know them. Dress well, flowers, hold doors, and call her beautiful (Not Hot). And women. The next time you go on a date be on lookout for these things. If he is portraying a gentleman then appreciate this. He is actually trying as much as you are and is putting his best foot forward. Let’s bring back the age of the Gentleman.
