Gentleman? What's that?

This is something that has been on my mind for quite a while, and today one of my friends on facebook (a guy) put his status as "Is it not fashionable to be a gentleman anymore?". Good question. What ever happened to gentlemen? and ladies? I know there are some, few, out there, but as I said they're few.

This really bothers me. I am a bit ashamed of my generation. Perhaps I read to many old classic books, where the men are always such gentlemen, and the women so lady-like. Now, you look at the world (at least America) and how many of the young men open your car door for you? or dress nicely? For girls too, of course. It sickens me how so many dress and act these days, it sickens me!

The other day I was talking to a girl about this guy we know, and this guy is always such a gentleman. The girl I was talking to was speaking of how he always holds the door open for her, and she said she couldn't stand it. Wait.... she didn't like him being a gentleman? What!? That, too, is sad. I know many girls who think it's weird for guys to open the door for them, or do some kind deed like that. Is it just to strange? It's not usual. It's sad. Also, aren't guys supposed to be the masculine, strong, gender that woman look to for protection? I dress/look more masculine than most guys I know. They wear skinny jeans and v-necks now and they're as skinny as ever (skinny in a bad way). I won't be surprised when the day comes that guys will be wearing skirts.

Now, look at the girls of this generation. I think it's nice for a girl to wear a dress every now and then, but the dresses most girls wear are way to short, or to low of a neck, etc. With a lot of the shirts girls wear, they might as well say " Look at my cleavage!". Whatever happened to modesty? And natural looking makeup? And a clean mouth! I shouldn't even start on cussing. I hate it.


This wasn't written very well.

Pretty much, I think I was born into the wrong generation.
